Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Service Manual: Tightening Torque of Standard Bolts

Description

Description

This vehicle has both new standard based on ISO* and previous standard bolts/nuts. There are some differences between these two types of bolts/ nuts; shape of the head, grade of strength, hexagonal width across flats and the standard tightening torque.

  • For guidance in discriminating, refer to Tightening Torque Table (New Standard Included).

  • If the tightening torque is not described in the description or figure, refer to Tightening Torque Table (New Standard Included).

*ISO: International Organization for Standardization

Tightening Torque Table (new Standard Included)

Tightening Torque Table (New Standard Included)

CAUTION:

  • The special parts are excluded.

  • The bolts/nuts in these tables have a strength (discrimination) number/symbol assigned to the head or the like. As to the relation between the strength grade in these tables and the strength (discrimination) number/symbol, refer to “DISCRIMINATION OF BOLTS AND NUTS”.

CAUTION:

  1. Use tightening torque with lubricant for the new standard bolts/nuts in principle. Friction coefficient stabilizer is applied to the new standard bolts/nuts.

  2. However, use tightening torque without lubricant for the following cases. Friction coefficient stabilizer is not applied to the following bolts/nuts.

    • Grade 4.8, M6 size bolt, Conical spring washer installed

    • Paint removing nut (Size M6 and M8) for fixing with weld bolt
