I seem to recall OES has directions to do one side at a time, rather than removing both bolts together.

I don't think the engine will drop out if you do them together, but I'd agree it would probably be safer to do them one at a time.

Finally torque them left first then right (49 Nm, 35ft-lbs).

Each manufacturer of the frame sliders has specific installation instructions along with torque sequence and specs. One at a time.

 
If I remember correctly, after installing tighten/torq the left side first then the right. I did it backwards the first time and it resulted in unwanted vibration. Maybe someone on here can confirm.

Pre-confirmation already back here ;) .
