Standard value:
Specified tightening torque
Tightening torque=14N·m { 143kgf·cm} {10.3ft·lbf}
When using the SST, calculate the torque using the following formula.
Formula: T2 = L2/(L1 + L2) × T1
T1
14 N·m {143 kgf·cm, 10.3 ft·lbf}
T2
Tightening torque
L1
Length of SST (0.080 m {3.150 in})
L2
Torque wrench length (m {ft})
NOTE:
·This torque value is valid when the SST and torque wrench are aligned on a line.
·Attach the SST and torque wrench so that they are aligned on a line.
