Question Axel torque

Just put a new skin on the rear of my 2005 FatBoy. Can anyone give the torque specs for the rear axel? Thanks in advance for any help.

What Smug said, more specifically - torque to 60 ft lbs., then insert the retaining clip through the nut. If you can't put the clip through at 60, then torque higher but no higher than 65 ft lbs. in order to line the retaining clip hole up. Hope this helps.
