Bugger Bugger Bugger, whilst putting my front wheel back on, I have snapped one of the bolts off from the axle clamp, I have successfully removed offending bit and have found a replacement part off xr400 from another forum (have part# etc if anyone needs), also went and bought a torque wrench but can't find torque values forit (yes i have searched but didn't come up with anything). Has anyone got this info handy, I would really appreciate it.

Cheers
Chris.

 

9.8 nm or 87 in lbs

 

Hey Jsac, Thank You very much. I guess a service manual is on the to buy list.

do a search on this site.. theirs pdf's floatin around.

 

Don't forget to put antisieze grease on the axle clamp nuts as well as the axle bolt threads. A little goes a long way. Once you've got everything torqued, lgo back and oosen one of the nuts with a 10mm wrench to get the feel of what 87inlbs feels like. If you're out on a trail and have to pull the wheel you'll have an idea of how tight the nuts should be.

 

Good advice eas,

Cheers
Chris.
