Can someone post up the torque specs for a 2009 Crossbones front axel, and the two bolts on the bracket that holds the brake caliper. One is a torx head, the other is an acorn nut on one side and a six sided nut on the other. It is the one that connects to the little arm that runs to the back part of the fork leg....thanks in advance.

 

Axle is 60 - 65 ft/lbs

The acorn stud: 31 - 35 ft/lbs

The upper caliper mounting bolt: 25 - 30 ft/ lbs
Manual mentions to use a new spring pin and washer.

So any pictures without front fender forthcoming?

 

yep...there was a post on here a few days ago with a pic from the service manual, but now I can't find it.....thanks for the torque specs

 

got in there to pull the front axel and chickened out!!! the only sized socket I could get to fit was a 24mm, does that sound right? If it is standarsd, I don't know that I have one big enough.

 

Back down the torque on your wallet by about 15# so you can open it and buy a service manual. Best investment you'll ever make.

 

yeah thanks for the advice. I have one, but my garage stuff is still pretty much all packed up.

 

It's probably 15/16", like my Fatboy's front axle -- an odd size.

My rear wheel is 36mm, which apparently is normal for rear wheels... I've heard all to do with wheels & brakes are normally metric.

 

What he says ... 15/16" for the front axle and 36 mm for back axle on the Xbones. (24 mm and 15/16" are practically same size anyway)

You might also pick up a new locknut for the front axle as recommended in the manual. Part number: 7994
