CCT mounting bolts torque

Post by ips »

Can any one help?
What is the CCT mounting bolts torque setting?
The Haynes manual quotes 23Nm, I have just sheared one of the bolts off whilst tightening to this setting.
:(

Now I’m confused!
Just found an online manual that also quote 23Nm but it states the bolts are 8mm, the ones I have are 6mm. I’m guessing the torque should be 10-12NM?
Any help who be appreciated.

But I tend to 'feel' those bolts into place as otherwise you can do just what you did and shear them! 10nm would be OK though.
