Can anyone tell me what the torque specs are for the transmission cover on a 05 softail deluxe I did new bars and cables and just want to have the right specs thanks

 

Google bolt torque charts
It will give values for bolts by diameter/grade / thread pitch /finish treatment
I`m assuming 5/16ths NC unplated ?
18ft lbs is close enough
It`s not the space shuttle.

 

Hi Jason my friend, GOOD to have u here mate.

I moved ur question to a more appropriate area and where there is a greater chance to get ur question answered and/or the answer corroborated.

Pls see below and GOOD to have u here mate.

 

thanks for the help

 

TY, that was very nice of you.

The chaps here are really good with technical info. May take a little bit of time but typically they are quick and very good. Well, except fot the trolls. LOL Anyway..........ENJOY the site. It is here for you.

Ill second this. while the book likely has a torque spec, a generic for a standard bolt will more than suffice. IIRC the trans bolts arent 5/16, they are 1/4-20. they are smaller than the exhaust studs that are 5/16. most of these are allen headed bolts, I dont think they are grade 5 or 8 hardened, but either way, the limit for torque will be the aluminum tranny housing. Any time I have mine open, I go good and snug, and thats about it. No reason to go nuts with the bolts as long as it isnt loose and doesnt leak, its gonna be tight enough

 

I’m sure you are back on the road by now

SCOTT is correct, bolts are 1/4”
my FSM states 10-12 ft lbs for that cover
hard to be accurate with a T wrench that goes to 100 or more
many of us don’t have an inch pound T wrench
so go for nice and snug
