A method for loading a coupling assembly is provided. The coupling assembly comprises a first coupled member and a second coupled member, to a predetermined preload. The method comprises determining a compression distance of a resilient annular member of the coupling assembly corresponding to the predetermined preload, determining a rotation angle of a threaded fastener of the coupling assembly corresponding to the compression distance, inserting a threaded member of the coupling assembly through the resilient annular member, coupling the threaded fastener to the threaded member, and rotating the threaded fastener by the rotation angle.
