TIGHTENING TORQUE OF STANDARD BOLTS
TIGHTENING TORQUE OF STANDARD BOLTS
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009462980
This vehicle has both new standard based on ISO* and previous standard bolts/nuts. There are some differ-
ences between these two types of bolts/ nuts; shape of the head, grade of strength, hexagonal width across
flats and the standard tightening torque.
• For guidance in discriminating, refer to GI-18, "Tightening Torque Table (New Standard Included)"
.
• If the tightening torque is not described in the description or figure, refer to GI-18, "Tightening Torque Table
(New Standard Included)".
*ISO: International Organization for Standardization
Tightening Torque Tabl e (New Standard Included)INFOID:0000000009462981
CAUTION:
• The special parts are excluded.
• The bolts/nuts in these tables have a strength (d iscrimination) number/symbol assigned to the head
or the like. As to the relation between the stre ngth grade in these tables and the strength (discrimi-
nation) number/symbol, refer to “DISCRIMINATION OF BOLTS AND NUTS”.

CAUTION:
The parts with aluminum or the cast iron washer surface/thread surface are excluded.

CAUTION:
1. Use tightening torque with lubricant for the new standard bolts/nuts in principle. Friction coeffi- cient stabilizer is applied to the new standard bolts/nuts.
2. However, use tightening torque wi thout lubricant for the following cases. Friction coefficient stabi-
lizer is not applied to the following bolts/nuts.
- Grade 4.8, M6 size bolt, Co nical spring washer installed
- Paint removing nut (Size M6 and M8) for fixing with weld bolt
