TORQUE CONVERSIONS
UNITED STATES SYSTEM
The U.S. units of torque, foot pounds and inch pounds, are
used in this service manual. To convert units, use the following
equations:
foot pounds (ft-lbs) X 12.00000 = inch pounds (in-lbs).
inch pounds (in-lbs) X 0.08333 = foot pounds (ft-lbs).
METRIC SYSTEM
All metric torque specifications are written in Newton-meters
(Nm). To convert metric to United States units and United
States to metric, use the following equations:
Newton meters (Nm) X 0.737563 = foot pounds (ft-lbs).
Newton meters (Nm) X 8.85085 = inch pounds (in-lbs).
foot pounds (ft-lbs) X 1.35582 = Newton meters (Nm).
inch pounds (in-lbs) X 0.112985 = Newton meters (Nm).
