    3. A01MGLBC05
      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length
      *b Turn
      *c Hold

      Using a SST, fully tighten the nut while holding the rod of the rear shock absorber assembly with a 6 mm long socket hexagon wrench.

      SST

      Torque:
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

      • When using a SST (fulcrum length of 30 mm (1.18 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)): 20.5 N*m (209 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf)
