How tight

[patches85]

How tight do you tighten the nut on the axle after installing a new bearing carrier?:confused:

[Unverfehrt400ex]

I put mine as tight as i could get it. Dont know if your supposed to but its still doin find after a year

[h400exrydr]

that is wat i did too....and now it still comes loose everyonce in a whiel :ermm:

[Unverfehrt400ex]

yeh mine tends to come loose i have to retighten it every few months

[Chino886]

I tighten mine, then go ride on it for a short time, then tighten it again, and it usually stays tight....

[dirtdigger71]

i wrap mine with duct tape from the rotor hub to the axle and it never comes loose(poor mans locking nut)

That's for the hub nuts. I think the original question is about the axle lock nut. The Inner nut is 94 ft-lbs and the outer is 65 ft-lbs. I belive a special tool is required to apply accurate torque.

That kind of sheet really pisses me off. Everybody doesn't have alot of money to throw around, but you still try to have fun. Then you have some jackass like that that rips you off, then you don't have any trust for anyone else on here, where as most guys on here are probably basicaly honest guys.

[Chino886]

yeah, I know what you mean, then he gets ticked off when I post negative feedback about it....I mean what the heck....

[weekendracer91]

if it has tw0 then tighten the nut closest to the sprocket hand tight and the outer one to 130lbs

my dads has two

[400exc]
