The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the following. After
fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.

fastening torque will be reduced.
Failure to use the correct size socket will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
A worn socket (wear on the hex end or square end) will cause a reduction in the fas-
tening torque.
