Q. What is the torque specs for U-bolts?
A properly torqued u-bolt stretches by design resulting in a clamping force that acts as a spring clamp, holding the components of the suspension together. The torque specs for a 1/2″ u-bolts which is the size most frequently used on Venture Trailers is 45ft/lbs-70ft/lbs.
Q. Do U-bolts need to be torqued?
Do not reuse U-bolts Deep nuts should be tightened once and retorqued, never loosened and retightened. A used U-bolt may have suffered from fatigue as well excessive stress since achieving accurate torque with commonly used impact wrenches is very dificult.

Q. Are U-bolts torque to yield?
U-bolts are a torque to yield bolt. This means when you tighten down a U-bolt to its proper torque spec, the bolt stretches to achieve that level of tightness. This means that if the nut is loosened back up or if it is retightened again, it is going to damage the threads on both the bolt and the nut.
Q. What’s the difference between flywheel and flexplate?
Flywheels are typically found on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, while flexplates are used in vehicles with automatic transmissions. A flexplate is mounted to the crankshaft and connects the output from the engine to the input of a torque converter.
Q. How is a U-bolt measured?
The length (L) is measured from end of bolt to inside of the bend, while the width (C) is measured between the legs. Since round U-bolts can be measured differently, we recommend communicating U-bolt dimensions through the use of a detailed drawing.
Q. What are the torque requirements for bolts?
The required bolt clamping force for a joint is 20000 lbs. The torque required for a 3/4″ dry steel bolt to achieve this tension can be calculated as. T dry = (0.2) (20000 lb) (0.75 in) = 3000 (in lb)
Q. What are you bolts used for?
U-bolts have primarily been used to support pipework, pipes through which fluids and gasses pass. As such, U-bolts were measured using pipe-work engineering speak. A U-bolt would be described by the size of pipe it was supporting. U-bolts are also used to hold ropes together.
Q. What is the head bolt torque specs?
Torque specs: Torque specs: CYLINDER HEAD BOLT TORQUE SPECS (tightening) / (loosening) 8, 4, 2, 6, 10 7, 3, 1, 5, 9. Torque in steps: 22ft-lbs (264in-lbs), Then to 63ft-lbs (756in-lbs) (final spec) 94+ Teg
