Clutch pressure-plate bolt torque seems low

Edwardius · 2015-04-17 08:01:42

Just preparing to change a clutch, looking at the manuals (both manufacturer and Haynes) it seems that the torque value for the pressure plate bolts is pretty low - 19Nm. Should I loctite the bolts when refitting? car is mk1 avensis 1.6.

Never threadlock clutch-plate or flywheel bolts. Never overtorque them either. 14 ft./lb. sounds about right for a pressure-plate bolt, IIRC the 3l Jag S-Type ones are rated at 17. Bear in mind there are a few of them.
