FASTENER USAGE
WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER
MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PER-
SONAL INJURY.
Figure art, specifications and tightening torque ref-
erences in this manual are identified in metric and
SAE format.
During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is
important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.)
for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a
fastener of equivalent specification must be use.
THREADED HOLE REPAIR
Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using
a Helicoilt. Follow the manufacture recommendation
for application and repair procedures.
METRIC SYSTEM
The metric system is based on quantities of one, ten,
one hundred, one thousand and one million (Fig. 6).
The following chart will assist in converting metric
units to equivalent English and SAE units, or vise
versa.
Refer to the Conversion Chart to convert torque
values listed in metric Newton- meters (N·m). Also,
use the chart to convert between millimeters (mm)
and inches (in.)
TORQUE REFERENCES
Individual Torque Charts appear at the end of
many Groups. Refer to the Standard Torque Specifi-
cations Chart for torque references not listed in the
individual torque charts.
