Front axle nut 60-65 ft. lbs.
Axle holder nuts 132-180 in. lbs.
Front Brake Caliper screws 28-38 ft. lbs.

Before the manual ****'s get a hold of you, it is highly recommended to purchase/find a repair manual if you plan to do much wrenching on your bike. There are some good pointers in the manual that could save you from breaking something during the repair work.

Pay attention to your wheel spacers. The ones on my '07, if memory serves, are different widths and you need to put 'em back them same way you took 'em out. Also, anti-seize on the axle is never a bad idea.
