Torque Specifications
The following torque specifications should be used when servicing seat assemblies. Many service replacement assemblies such as front seat cushion and back frame assemblies and rear compartment pan assembly may have unthreaded nuts for attachment of seat adjusters, seatback and lap belts. Threads must be formed in these unthreaded nuts with either the original or a new proper size thread forming bolt. Apply sufficient straight-in pressure to start thread forming action of bolt into an unthreaded nut. Use of an appropriate tap will help.
