Default rear axle nut torque
Does anyone know the rear axle nut torque spec for an 08 dyna lowrider? My service manual is for an 07 and they have different axle sizes. Thanks in advance.

Rear axle nut torque for an 09Dyna is 95-105 ftlbs.
Don't know for sure if they are the same size rear axles in 08 and 09 but I believe they are the same

105?
I put them to 70 ft/lbs.
it's not a big rig lug nut man.

Be sure to put a liberal coating of anti seize on the axel.
dyna axles have a tendency to freeze up.

95-105 ft/lbs is the manual spec. It may not be a big rig, but I usually feel pretty comfortable going by the book...

If one comes loose of the many many wheels on a big rig, not such a big deal.
If one comes loose on a two wheel vehicle, maybe a slightly bigger problem
