Help with rear wheel removal

[T Bear Jackson]

Hiya All

Need to change the rear tyre on me 07 FXSTC this weekend but don't have any info on the torque settings etc. Got a service manual on back order but can't see it appearing before Sat

Ive just had her up on the lift and it looks an easy job but you never know!


Any info would be much appreciated

Can't help you with the torque settings but remember to grease the axle before replacing it.

This is the settings of my Road King should be the same I reckon????

My 2000 FXST Rear Axle Nut is : 60 to 65 Ft/Lbs. Not the same as BaZa's
I would make a 'phone call to a friendly Dealer and ask nicely.
Whatever you are told the Torque value is, Do Not Overtighten or you WILL knacker the wheel bearings.
Let us know...Pat.

Don't know what axle cone nut is but FLHR rear axle nut is 60-65.
Tighten to 60 then if needed tighten up to 65 to get the clip in.
DO NOT EXCEED 65 or bearings will be damaged.
