Hey guys,



So i know that it is common practice to re torque the tension bolts usually on every clutch job... But what is the proper way to do this?


I am aware of the FSM torquing pattern, but do you have to remove the bolt completely to retorque it properly? IE. Remove bolt#1 and then retorque, remove bolt#2 then retorque??



Thanks in advance.

I would loosen it off and pull it out to put some oil on the threads and maybe clean off the shank of the bolt.

 

I have contacted Rob Golden from pineapple racing about this. Here is what he had o say.


"I have not found a need for it in almost all applications. Long high rpm vibration can loosen bolts. Try marking a bolt so it's clocking to the plate can be seen clearly. Loosen and retorque the bolt. If it moves past the mark, it could mean you should retorque. That assumes you are using the same torque spec. as the builder. Also remember to lube the threads w/ oil. You will probably loose a little coolant doing this. rob"



So ill give this a try and see how it works.
