Default The Bad Book

So I got the 09' touring model service manual and under rear wheel removal 2.5 it gives a torque spec. of 15-20 ft lbs. for the cone nut before belt adjustment. Under the torque spec. section is says; cone nut 15-20 preliminary. Can ya help me out with the final torque on the cone (axle nut). Thanks, *****
Oh yeah, A little trick to remove the caliper; spread the pads out and she come right off.

As tight as you can get it without a wrench extension.

If you will reread the manual it gives that torque spec WITH a special adapter wrench set at 90 degrees to the torque wrench handle. I went back a few years and got a direct torque reading in an older manual and used it. It said 75 foot pounds for the axle nut. I used that spec on my 09 Ultra and have had no problems for the last 15K miles. If you want to use that, IT'S AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! The newer manual I have doesn't list a direct torque spec for the axle nut that I've found. Maybe Dog or another HD tech will chime in with a better answer.

If you use an adapter at 90 degrees it is the same torque as with no adapter, no correction needed.
