Torque settings in the FSM

[Ian Rubie]

Does anyone know what the 1 at the front of the some of the torque settings in the brackets means? For example, the bolt that holds the lower ball joint on. My first guess would be single use but that is covered by a black diamond.

Cheers

The figures don't correlate. There are mathematical anomalies. What vehicle does it relate to?

Kgf.cm is measured in thousands (metric) hence 1,550 kgf.cm = 112 ft.lbs etc etc.

Olazz - Thank you, obvious now

My mistake. In the Toyota manual the figures are listed kg-cm, ft-lb, N.m and I used the wrong numbers.

Anyone got a number for Specsavers?
