TORQUE FIGURES

[bikelee]

I was wondering if someone could me out with some torque figures:

These torgues are for a 2003 Lemans.

 

1.Bolts holding front u-joint (on the drive shaft) to trans output shaft

2.Front/ rear caliper mounting bolts

3 Rear shock to swing arm bolt and nut

4 Front fork upper and lower triple tree bolts that hold the forks.

5 Bolt on top of rear drive unit that attaches to the torque link.

 

 

 I have a shop manual but they do not list these bolts in there. Thanks for any help. Leon

I'm not sure my 2000 manual will be of help on this. I'll try to get it open later and have a look with a mind to those things that have changed between model years.

 

When starting the shaft's pinch bolts, consider squeezing the collar so that the holes are aligned with the threads (with some kind of clamp or locking pliers). Otherwise, the chance of cross threading the collar GOES WAY UP. Then the collar is stripped, the shaft is ruined, and you're half-way to a bad day!

You can Google "torque specifications for metric fasteners" for most of your needs. I would paste the link but something is keeping it from being able to paste
