NOTE:
Fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital components and
systems,
and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the same part number or
with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or
substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to assure proper retention of these
parts. Refer
to Torque Value Chart in the general information of Section "OA".
