GENERAL INFORMATION

03-11

Screw Threads

General
Metric threads to ISO standards are used. 

Damaged nuts, bolts and screws must always be 
discarded. Cleaning damaged threads with a die or 
tap impairs the strength and fit of the threads and is 
not recommended.

Always ensure that replacement bolts are at least 
equal in strength to those replaced. Castellated nuts 
must not be loosened to accept a split-pin, except in 
recommended cases when this forms part of an 
adjustment.

Do not allow oil or grease to enter blind threaded 
holes. The hydraulic action on screwing in the bolt or 
stud could split the housing.

Always tighten a nut or bolt to the recommended 
torque figure. Damaged or corroded threads can 
affect the torque reading.

To check or re-tighten a bolt or screw to a specified 
torque figure, first loosen a quarter of a turn, then re-
tighten to the correct torque figure. 

Oil thread lightly before tightening to ensure a free 
running thread, except in the case of threads treated 
with sealant/lubricant, and self-locking nuts.

Bolt and Nut Identification

Bolt identification
A large number of the nuts and bolts used on New 
Range Rover must be discarded after removing or 
loosening them. Refer to the repair sections in this 
Manual for further information.

CAUTION: All rear suspension fixings must be 
replaced whenever they are removed.

An ISO metric bolt or screw made of steel and larger 
than 6 mm in diameter can be identified by either of 
the symbols ISO M or M embossed or indented on 
top of the bolt head.

In addition to marks identifying the manufacturer, the 
top of the bolt head is also marked with symbols 
indicating the strength grade, e.g. 8.8; 10.9; 12.9;  
14.9. As an alternative, some bolts and screws have 
the M and strength grade symbol stamped on the 
flats of the hexagon.
