Getting ready to install a flush mount axle. The directions say to torque the front axle nut to 50 lbs, but the Manual says 60-65lbs. Any guesses?

 

Directions? What are those? LOL! Your best bet would be to go with the spec listed with the axle kit. Do they have a tech line you could call with your concern? Chances are it's a different material or hardness than stock which would require a different torque value. Just out of curiosity, what brand is it and do you like the quality? I'm looking to get one for mine to clean up the front till I decide on a different front end.

 

Can't remember the manufacturer. Found it on ebay made for Rockers. I'm waiting for new spacers before I put it in. I think Dragonslayer08 knows. I'm new to the forum and still haven't figured out how to ask him.

 

You can't go wrong by copying this to ebay search.

Good luck

 

Looks like the same one I bought and installed a couple of years ago. Followed their instructions and it's worked great since. Get the tapered spacers and it will really clean up the front end. When I need to change the tires I'm going for the HD chrome wheels. Reasonable too.

 

Bro I believe forum member, Puzzled is the guy selling the flush mount axles on Ebay. I think he will give you a discount too, since you're a HFD member.

 

Yea, I think it was Puzzled. Great guy to deal with.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out!

 

O.K. the torque is 60lbs. Looks good.

 

Nice looking axle. If I didn't already have Heartland covers on mine, I'd get one.
