Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / chaîne de transmission
French term or phrase: appliquer/mettre en pression
"La vis doit être juste appliquée sur la fixation moteur (ne pas mettre la vis en pression)".

He puesto los dos términos juntos porque, si no me equivoco, se trata de antónimos. No estoy muy seguro del significado exacto y me parece que en este caso es especialmente importante ser preciso.

¿"Appliquer" es apretar poco, no apretar nada...?

Muchas gracias.
