FASTENER IDENTIFICATION

DESCRIPTION

The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2

to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater

the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the

line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual

bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line

marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt

strength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metric

strength class identification number is imprinted on

the head of the bolt. The higher the class number,

the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are

imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the

nut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification and

Fastener Strength Charts (Fig. 3) and (Fig. 4).

Fasteners and torque specifications references in

this Service Manual are identified in metric and SAE

format.

During any maintenance or repair procedures, it is

important to salvage all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc.)

for reassembly. If the fastener is not salvageable, a

fastener of equivalent specification must be used.

DESCRIPTION - THREADED HOLE REPAIR
