Rear axle nut torque
I have just been on the phone to three different HD dealerships and none of them agree on the rear axle nut torque for a 2009 softail. The first one i rang said 140NM which i thought sounded a bit too much so, i rang the second dealer who told me 60 to 65 ft lb or 81 NM which was right for my 06 softy but i wasn't sure it was right for an 09 so i rang the third dealer, and he told me 90 to 95 ft lb ???? Has anyone got a workshop manual that has the correct info for an 09 softy ??

I have, but it hasn't arrived yet. If by jerking the dealers around you mean "asking them a simple question" then i am forever sorry. Sounds like 2 out of 3 dealers need to be asked more questions to me. If they can't get the torque setting for your back wheel correct, what happens when you need an engine re-build.
