FASTENER IDENTIFICATION

DESCRIPTION

GRADE/CLASS IDENTIFICATION

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.

FASTENER USAGE

WARNING: USE OF AN INCORRECT FASTENER

SONAL INJURY.

Figure art, specifications and torque 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.
