| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using excessive torque, which can strip threads or deform the fastener in aluminum. | Consult torque charts specific to M8 fasteners in Aluminum 6061 and utilize a calibrated torque wrench. |
| Cross-threading the fastener, leading to damaged threads on both the screw and the mating component. | Start threading by hand to ensure proper alignment before applying any tools. |
