Not that it's impossible, but I'd probably dislocate my arms or something trying to generate 100nm through the standard tool, even with its extension (which is a fiddle)

This is why I own 2 2-foot torque wrenches and a breaker

One to do accurate torque settings, one to use as a big wrench. No effort involved at all with the right tools, not to mention that you're not left guessing how tight it should be. I'd sooner have a good 6-point socket in a ratchet than a 6-point box spanner tbh, easier to use (though bulkier)

You are supposed to use two sockets or spanners anyway. One to hold the spindle end and one to undo the nut. Stand behind the bike, put round ended spanner on the spindle end and use a long bar and socket on the actual nut, turn the nut with the long bar till it comes loose then you should be able to take off the spanner on the spindle end and undo the nut with your fingers on the socket.

Hope this helps.

and you need spell check!!

The rear wheel nut is only 65nm. No need for scaffold poles. Just a spanner on the right, spanner on the left, job done.

Ah, cant see the photo. Yes Mk1 SV's is 65nM

northwind · 08-01-07, 11:16 AM

Yup, mk1 is, that's why I'm asking if pointy's the same

I've a feeling it's way higher, from some old thread where I confused the hell out of someone

Pointy's 100NM.

Feels way too tight for me but don't fancy riding with an under-torqued rear axle nut.

Rich · 08-01-07, 08:22 PM

It is 100nm's then, i set my torque wrench to that and it felt way too tight so i didn't go all the way. Think i best go back and give it a tweek!!

Ohyeh and sorry for confusing people with the text lingo, i'll try hard to speak proper in future

OK so there's nothing wrong with my nuts or the bike design. It's just a shame that Suzuki get your hopes up in vain, putting the correct sized spanners in the tool kit (but not the right length

). Might be better if they just put 22 & 24mm sockets in and let you source your own handle.

Well, if you were bigger you could probably do it
