Haynes manuals are infamous for being trash.
- calvinmorrison 2y agoThe answer to car manuals is like reading history. Make sure you get two different source materials. Haynes did their own tear downs and write ups. Pair that with the OEM manuals, and service bulletins, forums and you get a good picture. The reference book for saab 900 is the Bentley Bible. Its a fantastic resource but the Haynes has a transmisson teardown and rebuild and better info on older trims. Pair that with the service manuals from Saab and the forums and you're rocking
- Gracana 2y agoIIRC the Suzuki Sidekick manual has a bunch of inaccurate torque specifications, on the very high side. I was lucky to learn about that before I did any work.
- userbinator 2y agoPossibly a metric-imperial units mixup? Values originally in Nm mistaken as ft-lbs would mean they're around 1.356x what they should be --- which is dangerous because they're not absurdly out of range.
- Gracana 2y agoGood guess, that definitely could have been what happened.
