FASTENER IDENTIFICATION DESCRIPTION The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2 to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt strength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metric strength class identification number is imprinted on the head of the bolt. The higher the class number, the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the nut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification and Fastener Strength Charts. Bolt Markings and Torques - Metric Bolt Markings 8.8/8.9 10.9 12.9 Bolt Dia. N·m Ft. Lbs. N·m Ft. Lbs. N·m Ft.

FASTENER USAGE DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION 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. DESCRIPTION Most stripped threaded holes can be repaired using a HelicoilT. Follow the vehicle or HelicoilT recommendations for application and repair procedures. LX INTRODUCTION 7
