Metal_man_Rob Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I even have the service manual and can’t find the torque spec.I just changed the wheel bearings in the front (obviously) and... 1: spacer on one side is snug, the other side moves freely inside the hub. Figure the one that is loose in there will tighten up once I torque the castle but back on. 2: can’t find the actual torque spec. I see a torque spec for the steering knuckle and castle but but not the spindle nut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seansy007 Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 the spacer on the inside of the 2 bearings? it should be snug between the 2 bearings not loose if its loose the bearings aren't pressed into the housing all the way in. or its worn. there's probably not a torque spec because its a castle nut with a cotter pin and at that torque spec the pin slot and holes may not line up. i usually give a few uggaduggas till the slots line up. you dont wanna give more than say 4 tho cuz thats too tight lmao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went and put a little more sack into it on the arbor press and now they are both snug. The bearing wasn't seated completely, Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"steering knuckle and castle nut". It says 61 FtLbs but wasn't sure if there is a castle nut somewhere on the steering stem that I didn't see or something. Haven't dug into the steering on this bike. Probable the only part of the bike that didn't need attention. Pretty solid. The rest of the bike was a disaster, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
