I found this online a few years back and this is something I've had stashed in my toolbox for quite some time now. Every time I work on my truck I reference it. So I thought it would be worth sharing I've added socket sizes to all the ones I can remember/ have removed before. Please feel free to post the ones that are wrong/ missing in this thread if you know it!

These numbers were pulled manually from the 2005 Nissan Xterra Service Manual (revision Feb. 2006). There could be errors in translation, typos, mis-reading of the manual, brain farts, etc. Please double check these torque specs with Nissan. I take no responsibility if you use these specs and something falls off. Original Thread I Borrowed the info from
I will add to this over time. If there is anything I am missing or someone sees that is wrong, please let me know, and 'll add it.
