Hey guys, I just bought the spousal unit an 08 Fatboy and had to pull the rear wheel, the seat bolt plate fell out and didn't have enough room to get it back in, and all is back together. Now I'm waiting on her service manual but I need the torque spec for the axle nut.. thanks in advance
My 07 Softail Custom manual says 60-65 ft lbs. Not sure if it is lower maybe because it is a 3/4" axle? I believe the 08 Fat boy is 1". I know one thing, when I tightened mine to 65 ft lbs, it was tight as hell and not going anywhere, especially with the pin in place.
Don't mention it. I just hope you have a socket for your torque wrench big enough to fit that nut. I could barely find a crescent wrench big enough at it's widest setting, so mine's just "good'n'tight". LOL.
