993 tightening torques

195 figures from the 19 torque tables in the 911 Carrera (993) factory repair manual, covering engine, transmission, both axles, brakes and steering. Each row cites the manual page it was read from. Extracted28 August 2026.

Figures: 195
Assemblies: 8
Staged or angled: 11
Carrera 4 specific: 18

Read these against the manual, not instead of it. They were read by OCR from a 2001 scan, and a misread digit looks exactly like a real number. The page reference on every row is there so you can check it. A torque alone is also not a procedure — sequence, lubrication and whether a fastener is single-use all matter, and all of that stays in the manual.
