Tightening Torques - What Is My Car

1 -General InstructionsTypeScrewDimensionUnit00 00 Extract from company standard BMW N 600 maximum Tightening Torques are:Only applicable to shaft screws with metric standard and fine threads acc. toDIN 13, sheet 13 and nuts with height of 0,8 x d acc. to DIN 934 and only for a total = (screws phosphatized, screws untreated or galvanized. Lubricationcondition: unlubricated and also oiled).For cadmium-plated screws or nuts ( total = to ) the Tightening torquewith screw material at the same level of utilization ca. must be 30% less thanshown in the values specified in this table apply to all screw connections conforming to theaforementioned applicable when using a different surface or lubricant condition on the thread,or if the height of the nut applicable to necked-down bolts, self-tapping screw connections or toconnections between parts made of different !

2 Maintaining specified Tightening Torques is vital for performing repair work to aprofessional standard.
