Default Torx setting 07 Fatboy

I'm planning on installing a rear sprocket cover tomorrow, does anybody have the torx settings for the spocket bolts. Any help would be appreciated on the procedure on removing rear tire. I have a jack is there anything else I would need for this job? I know I should have a shop manual but with work and everything going on I didn't have a chance to get to a HD dealership which is also a good distance from where I live.

55-65 ft-lbs along with 2 drops of Loctite threadlocker 262 (Red) per bolt. Hope this helps. I am assuming you meant torque values.

55-65 is correct, but I thought the shop manual said to use Loctite 271?

Sorry, my bad. Going by 2006 Softail manual. 07 must be different.

No the jack is the best tool and the only thing is you should have two people to put the rear tire back on it is a lot easier with two people instead of one. YOu can do it with one person but I found that with another it makes it go like butter
