Tyler S Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 So i have a 1987 banshee with the old style stock carrier. I'm just using a pipe wrench, I tightened the first nut super tight then the second. After this the axe was very stiff and hard to turn. However, if I back off the first nut a tiny bit the axle is still solid and spins freely. Should I just tighten the first nut so the axle is solid and spins freely and then lock it with the second, or do I need a new spacer because the bearings and seals are brand new. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 First thing is get real nuts for it, or a locking nut (prefered) These "values" are off top of my head, but better than the ones you pulled out of your ass. Tighten inner nut to 30 ft/lb Hold inner, tighten outer to 170 ft/lb, make mark on both nuts Hold outer, back inner against outer 3mm More complete directions in Clymers manual, or if you can find the online manual on this site. 1 Quote
