Torque rating on bolts for changing clutch. (need help)

OK my clutch in my car needs changing (97 Levin BZ-G AE111)

and I can't afford to pay for someone to do it, and I can't find a service manual for it not even if I want to buy one(you may have seen my other thread asking if anyones seen one)

So does anyone know the torque ratings for the bolts on the flywheel bellhousing and any other torque rated bolts?

if not, how much does it matter and what are the side effects of me just tighting them right up? cause i really need to change the clutch.

Thanks

worst case? you snap bolts off into the crankshaft and need a new crankshaft as well as a new transmission because the clutch pressure plate, flywheel, and clutch disc bounced around inside the bell housing and tore it up.

the flywheel bolts are the most critical, if thats the same 4age that cames in other cars then their torque specs should be the same. like the mr-2 maybe.

With the exception of head bolts, crank and rod bolts or MAYBE flywheel bolts, fasteners have the same torque.

Thread size, NOT bolt head size

6mm 8-10 ft lbs
8mm 15
10mm 20

On many parts the actual torque isnt as important as having them torqued to the SAME VALUE, like on a manifold. Also make sure the threads are clean, and in some instances you may need to run a tap through the hole to make sure there is no corrosion to affect your torque value. Buy a tube of ARE fasteners assembly lube for important bolts, especially ones with high torque values. Oil just doesnt cut it as a thread lubricant.

this does not apply to your flywheel... you will be fine as long as you dont over torque them... i just replaced the clutch in mine yesterday and torqued them to these specs and mine is doing fine... just make sure that you DO NOT go over the specified torque value
