Recommended Torque Specs

Below are our general recommendations for torque specs. Please note:

  1. For torque specs involving other parts, always verify the maximum torque specs from the respective PARTS manufacturer.
  2. Never exceed the lowest of the manufacturer-recommended and the OPEN-recommended maximum torque spec
  3. All bolts should be greased prior to assembly.
  4. Always use a torque wrench!!
