s.g 0 Posted December 28, 2005 does any body know the correct torque for the rear nut that holds the disk on. i don't want to over tighten it and ruin my bearings , thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted December 28, 2005 There is no torque!!!!! You should tighten it so that the thick washer the nut bears on can just, just be moved with a screw driver flat blade side to side with some effort but not forced. Spin the disc while tightening up the nut to bed the bearing home until the washer is gripped but not locked. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as this will cause the bearing to fail. In the design, the castelated cap over the nut with split pin fitted stop the nut rotating. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RW1 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Exactly what have you done. Just tightened it or run with it tightened and for how long. The answer is how long is a piece of string? . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RW1 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Oh..... Slacken them off as above and see if they rotate silently. You may get away with not having to change them. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
