Default torque spec

Changed my rear tire on a 2010 ultra limited. My book says to torque axel nut to 15 to 20 foot pounds. Don't seem like much. Just want to make sure its not a misprint. Thanks

I believe this is what you need.

real axle cone nut (preliminary) 15-20 ft-lbs
real axle come nut (final) 95-105 ft-lbs

The manual can be confusing at times.....



The section on rear wheel removal refers you to the section on drive belt deflection.
