Important: Use only a 6-point 14 mm socket on the adjusting nut. The adjusting nut requires very little torque to achieve proper cable tension. DO NOT exceed 20 N.m of torque on the adjuster nut. Use of additional torque beyond 20 N.m may damage the adjuster nut. If the adjuster nut rounds, refer to Rear Side Door Actuator Cable Tension Adjustment (Regular Method) Rear Side Door Actuator Cable Tension Adjustment (Alternate Method) (Cable Tension Adjustment - Sliding Door (Alternate Method)) .
