FASTENER USAGE
DESCRIPTION
FASTENER USAGE
WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
Fasteners and torque specifications references in this Service 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 reassem-
bly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a fastener of equivalent specification must be used.
THREADED HOLE REPAIR
Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a Helicoil . Follow the vehicle or Helicoil recommendations for
application and repair procedures.
METRIC SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The metric system is based on quantities of one, ten, one hundred, one thousand and one million.
