Re: rear axel nut torque
It's a lot more than that for the pointy. 100nm / 74lb-ft

Re: rear axel nut torque
Don't know about a pointy- Curvy is 65nm. Which is a bit more than hand tight with a big wrench.
Of course, tyre fitters often think it's about 100nm... |

Re: rear axel nut torque
Suzuki manual will tell you it's 100nm. Haynes says it's a lot less
I go with 100nm |

Re: rear axel nut torque
Yeah- zuki manual is 65nm - 47 ft lbs
Would it really be that different for a pointy? Darren- I was more having a general dig about tyre fitters overtightening. Normally with a pneumatic ratchet! |

Re: rear axel nut torque
Right I've just checked my Haynes manual which is for years 99 to 05
At the beginning of chapter 1 - Routine maintenance and servicing, it has a list of torque settings. For the rear axle nut it has 65 Nm. It does not specify between the different models BUT......... At the beginning of chapter 7 - Brakes, wheels and tyres, it also has a list of torque settings...... Rear wheel axle nut X, Y, K1 and K2 models ............65 Nm K3, K4 and K5 models ............100 Nm I don't know why one is called rear axle nut, and one is rear wheel axle nut, but it looks like they have made a mistake in chapter 1 by not specifying the different models. I wish they would make a manual for the curvy and one for the pointy to avoid confusion. |
