Hey Guys,
Yesterday I was working on finishing the rear axle rebuilt with new bearings.
As stated in the FSM, i went up to 43 lbs on the lock nut, then loosened untill it can be turned by hand.
The preload was very low, i think aroung 3.5 lbs, so kept on tightening, but i had to go over 43 lbs to reach 5.7 lbs on the fish scale. I also turned the hub with the rotor on 3 times each direction.
I got a new fish scale by the way, and tested it with 5 lb bummells, and it was right on.
Is ok to go above the 43lbs, as long as the preload is in spec ?
Just when I thought i was almost done !
