Component not found

Where no torque value is given, the following settings should be used. The manual does not state what grade of bolt these generic torque specifications are for (e.g. 8.8 or 10.9), but it may be assumed that any "special" grade bolt would have its own torque specified.

	Thread	Newton metres
Metric	M5	6 Nm
Metric	M6	9 Nm
Metric	M8	25 Nm
Metric	M10	45 Nm
Metric	M12	90 Nm
Metric	M14	105 Nm
Metric	M16	180 Nm
UNC / UNF	1/4	9 Nm
UNC / UNF	5/16	24 Nm
UNC / UNF	3/8	39 Nm
UNC / UNF	7/16	78 Nm
UNC / UNF	1/2	90 Nm
UNC / UNF	5/8	136 Nm

The following recommendations are also made by Land Rover:

• Always tighten a nut or bolt to the recommended torque value. Damaged or corroded threads can affect the torque reading
• To check or re-tighten a bolt or screw to a specified torque value first loosen a quarter of a turn, then re-tighten to the correct value.
• Nut and bolt loosening and tightening sequences, where given, must ALWAYS be followed. Distortion of components or faulty sealing of joints will result if the sequences are not followed. Where an instruction is given to tighten in stages, these stages must be adhered to; do not attempt to combine stages particularly where certain stages involve tightening by degrees.
• Unless instructed otherwise, do not lubricate bolt or nut threads prior to installing.
• Always make sure that replacement nuts and bolts are at least equal in strength to those that they are replacing. Castellated nuts must not be loosened to accept a split pin except in recommended cases when this forms part of an adjustment.
