Service Cautions (Us)]: Adjustment
- Use suitable gauges and testers when making adjustments.
Rubber Parts and Tubing
- Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber parts or tubing.
Hose Clamps
- When reinstalling, position the hose clamp in the original location on the hose and squeeze the clamp lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit.
NOTE:
- Follow the description in the service information because the clamps which are used with the fuel-related system differ from the one indicated above.
Torque Formulas
- When using a torque wrench- SST or equivalent combination, the specified torque must be recalculated due to the extra length that the SST or equivalent adds to the torque wrench. Recalculate the torque by using the following formulas. Choose the formula that applies to you.
TORQUE DESCRIPTION
| Torque Unit | Formula |
|---|---|
| N.m | N.m x [L/(L+A)] |
| Kgf.m | kgf.m x [L/(L+A)] |
| Kgf.cm | kgf.cm x [L/(L+A)] |
| Ft.lbf | ft.lbf x [L/(L+A)] |
| In.lbf | in.lbf x [L/(L+A)] |
- A: The length of the SST past the torque wrench drive.
- L: The length of the torque wrench.
Vise
- When using a vise, put protective plates in the jaws of the vise to prevent damage to parts.
SST
- Some global SST or equivalent are used as SSTs necessary for vehicle repair. Note that these SSTs are marked with global SST numbers.
- Note that a global SST number is written together with a corresponding Mazda SST number as shown below.
