Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application.

Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener.
