A wire coat hanger works fine, just cut off a piece of rubber tubing

Same thing from the Swing Arm bolt for the older Models.

Hi there

What torque setting is correct for the main spindle nut, do they vary on the models at all?

Cheers

2003 FXST is 65 ft lbs max. FWIW and its wheel bearings can seize if that's exceeded.
Pretty certain this varies from model to model, and as it's safety critical, it's a good idea to invest in the factory manual. Not cheap, but neither is getting it wrong...

If you want to work on your bike, most would agree you need the Factory Manual, or a Clymer as a minimum... 2007 might be too recent for a Clymer - latest I can find is 2005.

Good advice, thanks.
