Tightening Sequence
Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or
screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a
snug fit. Then tighten them according to the specified sequence
to prevent case warpage or deformation which can lead
to malfunction. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts or
screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter turn and
then remove them.
Tightening Torque
Incorrect torque applied to a bolt, nut, or screw may lead to
serious damage. Tighten fasteners to the specified torque using
a good quality torque wrench.
