front wheel reinstall

[Colorobo]

So do I torque the axel then pinch bolt or pinch bolts then axel? I think it is the first? Thanks Rob

[footgoose]

the axle bolt tightened puts everything where it belongs so it's first. the pinch bolts keep it there.

[Colorobo]

Does anybody know the troque specs for the axel bolt. I cant seem to find it in the manuals? thanks.

note Nm, is that different from foot pounds?

[Scud]

1 N/m is 0.74 lb/ft

 

I use an app on my phone called Converter+ so I can type in the spec in Nm and see it in lb/ft. I think I should just get a metric torque wrench.

[Kiwi_Roy]

66 Ib/ft seems like an awful lot, I just use an 8" wrench and don't reef on it.

For the pinch bolts using a short allen key turn it so it hurts your hand.

 

I haven't had a wheel fall off yet, touch wood

 

If you have a torque wrench use it to tighten a bolt then get a feel for it using a regular wrench as you would on the roadside.
