NOTES
1 Tightening torques provided are midrange.
2 Consult bolt manufacturer’s particular specifications, when provided.
3 Use flat washers of equal strength.
4 All torque measurements are given in kilogram-meters.
5 Torque values specified are for bolts with residual oils or no special lubricants applied. If special lubricants of
high stress ability, such as Never-Seez compound graphite and oil, molybdenum disulphite, collodial copper or
white lead are applied, multiply the torque values in the charts by the factor .90. The use of Loctite does not affect
the torque values listed above.
WARNING
Anytime a gear-bearing bolt is removed, it must be replaced with a new bolt of the identical
grade and size. Once a bolt has been torqued to 75% of its proof load and then removed, the
torque coefficient may no longer be the same as when the bolt was new thus giving
indeterminate clamp loads after torquing. Failure to replace gear-bearing bolts may result in bolt
failure due to metal fatigue causing death or serious injury.
