Ok, so I think I got this bad boy all together, but I was wondering 2 things. There is no specification on what to torque the nut to, I bought the wrenches that come with it, and all, I'm guessing it should be somewhere close to the stocker after you spin the inside nut back, but I was wondering what yall torque 'em to.

 

Also, If I wanted to take the axle off the bike, how do you do that, with the c-clip installed on the sprocket side it looks like it would be a bitch and half to get it out from under the nut, and take the axle off the bike. As a;ways, thanks for the help, :beer:

I just gave tightened with a wrench by hand & that was that. Never had a prob. There's also an allen head screw to secure it! With Brake Disc side assembled, feed it thru the carrier & assemble thru the sprocket side. The posi locknut will cover that c clip, back it up to expose it and pop it off with a screwdriver. Remove it the same way you put it in!

Durablue recommends 15 to 40 ft./lbs. on the large locking nut, I have a G-Force axle and used their torque specs. because G-force didn't give no specs. on the large nut. I torqued mine to 40 ft./lbs., just make sure on your torque wrench you take into account the extended length of the adaptor.

After I put my axle on I used the stock axle nuts, came loose after every two rides no matter how much I torqued them down. I bought the lone star axle nut And have not once had any probs.

Thanks for the replies, got her all together last night. I can just see this thing being a bitch to get apart when I'm out on the trail and I break something. I'm not a big fan of those C-Clips.
