Rear axle nut torque?
What is the correct rear axle nut torque?
I have the ’07 Dyna service manual P/N 99481-07.
The manual tells me tighten the rear axle nut to 92-98 ft-lbs (124.7-132.9 Nm)
Then it tells me when installing the retaining ring you can tighten it a little more if needed but do not to exceed 65 ft-lbs (88.1 Nm)
So what is the correct rear axle nut torque?

RE: Rear axle nut torque?
Thanks for the reply Mud & 96 Wide Glide.
I didn’t think the manual was right.
This is my 1st Dyna and I did the 5,000 mile service last night and I took a guess and went with 62 ft-lbs because my ’05 softail manual says 60-65 ft-lbs 65 being the max. But my ’06 Sporty manual says 72-78 ft-lbs.
Thanks again, Skip
