Hi guys,

Just installed a 39mm front end on my 84 fxrt - my previous 35 mm front end had an axle without a hole for a screwdriver in it, and also had these little caps on the bottom of both forks.

The new one I just got has an axle with a hole in it and one of the fork legs (left one facing the bike) a cinch bolt that needs to be tightened to hold down the axle.

My question is: What's the sequence in which I tighten all the bolts/nuts and to what torques?

Just wanna make sure i do this right. Thanks!!

Tighten the axle nut to load the wheel bearing first then the cap nuts to lock the axle in place and recheck the axle nut with a torque wrench. Don't remember the torque off hand sorry.
