(KA/Kc) (2021): Notes

NOTE: 

• Refer to the appropriate portion of the service procedures for the precautions and complete procedures.
• Refer to the appropriate portion of the service procedures for the bolts/nuts not indicated here.
• • 1: Parts to be tightened in a particular order.
  • 2: Follow the appropriate service procedures closely for torque, sequence, and special steps.
• Power tools must be used appropriately.
• • Follow instructions and precautions carefully per the tool's manufacturer.
  • Do not use power tools for tightening. Only use them during removals of fasteners.
• When using some special tools or crowfoot-type wrenches, the torque value changes due to the added leverage. The actual torque applied will be greater than the torque reading shown.
• • The torque specification given is the actual torque, not the reading on the torque wrench.
  • To compensate for this additional leverage, use the formula below to calculate the torque value reading on the torque wrench.
  • Always use the special tool or crowfoot-type wrench in a straight line with the torque wrench, or you will apply improper torque.
