Default Street Glide rear axel

Does anyone no if i can turn the rear axle around on a 07 street glide so the nut is on the left side. we used to do this back in the old days so the exhaust would not have to be removed when pulling the axle. I want to do this to my FLHX it just makes sense to me that when i torque the nut if the axle moves a little it will tighten the belt not loosen it. I have checked the belt and torqed the axle to spec (105 ft lbs)a few times since replacing the tire and the axle keeps moving forward loosening the belt any suggestions?

welcome, we all have to learn how and where to post different questions at.
this forum is pretty big and has a section for most all areas. the touring section is the largest and I am sure You'll get Ur answer in that section...
On my Softy the nut is on the left side, On yours with duels I not sure or see how its makes a difference, seems like muffler would be there on either side...but I dont have duels!!!

From Indy.
