Correct tightening torque values are extremely important to assure

long Spicer Axle life and dependable performance. Under-tightening

of attaching parts is just as harmful as over-tightening.

Exact compliance with recommended torque values will assure the

best results.

The data includes fastener size, grade and torque tightening values.

Axle models are included to pinpoint identification of fasteners for

your particular axle.
To determine bolt or cap screw grade, check for designation stamped

on bolt head (see illustration).
