I believe the axle nut on my 09 FXDB requires a 28mm socket. Tighten axle to 95-105 ft-lbs.

+1 on the repair manual. Get a 36mm six point and torque it to 95-105 ft/lbs. Know how I know? I just did some work and had to put my wheel back on, so I read it out of my repair manual.

Ebay or dealership. You won't have to look too far. Either way you're gonna spend about the same, $50-$60.

You actually need both a 28mm for the axle and a 36mm for the nut.
