    All torque specifications are ± 5%.  

Torques specified are for clean, lubricated threads. 
Always apply torque to nut if possible. 
Required re-torquing at every brake re-lining.

*  If equipped with 7/8" pan head shear bolt, ensure that the spline is 

sheared off and that there are no signs of movement.

NOTE:

   Torque specifications listed above are with clean 

lubricated/coated threads 

(Table 3)

. All new  

SAF-HOLLAND fasteners come precoated from 
the factory. For bolt and lock nut grade markings, 
refer to 

Figure 19

.

IMPORTANT:

  The use of special lubricants with friction 

modifiers, such as Anti-Seize or Never-Seez

®

without written approval from SAF-HOLLAND 
engineering, will void warranty and could 
lead to over torquing of fasteners or other 
component issues.

General Information

1.  The torque specifications are applied to the nut and  

NOT the bolt.

Failure to use the proper fasteners when 
servicing the suspension could cause 
component failure which, if not avoided, 
could result in death or serious injury.

Failure to properly torque all fasteners 
could result in component failure which, 
if not avoided, could result in death or 
serious injury.
