Arrow Torque adjustment procedures 2008

Does someone have the rear axle torque procedures and alignment for 2008 FLH models.

I have 08 swingarm going on my 98 so want to make sure the ears will be in correct position and I do everything correctly.

Thanks

You will probley need an 08 axle, nut and cams. The 08 axle has fixed cams to adjust belt tension (1 welded to axle and 1 fit on flat of axle)Tighten axle nut to 20 ft.lb. and turn axle till the top of belt aligns with the mark in the belt guard window with 10lb. pressure, then torque axle nut to 95 ft.lb. don't forget to replace the spring clip when you finish.
