: I am putting together my drive trane and was putting in the 4 flywheel bolts to the crank. I read in a manual that they should be torqued down to 80 foot lbs. When i was tightening one bolt, it broke. : Is 80 foot lbs too much or was my bolt weak, it was the one I took out. : I also measured the length of the bolts, 3 seem to be replacements and one seemed orginal. The original was 3/4 and the new ones were 1/8 longer and it seemed to bottomed out. : I think they were too long. Is there a washer or lock-washer that is needed? : Any help will be appreciated, I plan to put it together tomorrow. : Thank, Tony, |
