5. Tightening torque.
The bolts used for the rear suspension (rear shock and pivots) are high-grade products and have been
tightened in the factory with specific torque. If it is necessary to remove or tighten the bolts, extreme care
should be taken when re-tightening them.
All bolts should be cleaned and re-set using Loctite
TM
primer (#7649) and Loctite

Threadlock (#242).
