Rear pully bolt torque specs for 03 Dyna needed
I have an 03 Dyna Superglide and need the torque specs for the 5 bolts that mount the belt pully to the rear wheel. I tried using chrome bolts to mount the pully and just had 3 of them snap off so I am reverting back to the original OEM bolts and wanted to make sure they weren't over tightened. Also, is it a good idea to use locktite on these bolts to keep them from loosening

You should use red loctite on them. Make sure the bolts that you are replacing have the same grade and they should work fine (either grade 5 or 8 I can't remember which, the markings on the head will tell you).

I will read to you directly from the factory manual:Two drops of Loctite 262 (red) on each of the 5 bolts. Uses washers with these bolts.
Torque for cast wheels= 55 to 65 ft lbs.
Torque for laced wheels= 45 to 55 ft lbs.
Additionally, these bolts are 7/16-14 x 2 1/4 Hex head w/ locking cap__Grade 5__Part # 3737A

Well I am dumber than dirt and don't know any different, so I have no choice but to read and follow the manual. Wrong since Panheads huh? Now where have I heard that before?

Tell ya what ,man...go ahead an do what the Manual says..and when you want to change it out next time..and you break the bolts..use a torch and melt the Red LocTite first...that way you wont break anything..........................OR!...use Blu LocTite and forget it....but no matter what you do...do it your way.

RE: Rear pully bolt torque specs for 03 Dyna needed
After reading your last post I went out to the shop and removed one bolt on the pully from my 2003 Dyna. It came out using just a little force, and guess what color the MoCo used for thread locker. That's correct...RED. So, maybe the factory does not read what they write, but I will follow the manual(s) thank you.
