Standard Tightening Torque




Each fastener should be tightened to the torque specified. If no description or specification is provided, refer to the following tightening torque chart for the applicable torque for each fastener. When a fastener of greater strength than the original one is used, however, use the torque specified for the original fastener.

NOTE:
- For the flanged bolt and nut, add 10% to the tightening torque given in the chart.
- The chart is applicable only where the fastened parts are made of steel or light alloy.
