Clutch Bolts Question

[The Fatty]

When i put the clutch back on my flywheel, i did the bolts up as tight as i could using a 3/4 size wrachet handle. im not sure there fully up to the required torque...do you think they'll fall out? or will i be ok? iv driven it about 3 miles and its been ok so far (feels ok to on the pedel). they should be at 30nm i think, and i think iv only dont them about 20/25....

dude you NEED to toruqe them correctly

30nm is nothing, and doing them up as tight as you can with a 3/4" ratchet will be well above 30Nm!!!

agreed, also the torque setting is there to ensure you pull them all up evenly

 

[benji&eka]

also i think he probably means 3/8"
still be well over 30nm tho

 

[MAXIBOY]

should they be loctited

 

[benji&eka]

nah

 

[The Fatty]

old ones didnt have locktight, and haynes manual didnt say nout bout it, so didnt use any. Also yeah 3/8ths, not 3/4th! stupid laptop! lol. So you think they'll be tight enougth to stay in then? im only worryed about them falling out and going into flywheel, then thru bell housing lol.

 

[BenR]

erm, more than tight enough lol
