Changing tires
i am getting ready to put new tires on my 05 road glide. anyone know what size the rear axle nut is? also how much to torque it to? and what is the torque value for the front axle and the two nuts on the bottom of the right lower leg that clamp the axle? thank you in advance

I bought two of these Sears sockets that worked fine with the stock 12" SG shocks and (barely) 12½" Progressive 440's I installed later. At $8.79 each they won't break the bank.
When I installed 13¼" Ohlins a few months ago my easy-axle-removal days were suddenly over, and in the future I'll either need to remove both mufflers or just the left muffler and buy an adapter for the right (nut) side, as the socket will not clear the right muffler now. The 36mm box-end wrench included in my stock HD tool kit is inadequate for much of anything and you can't attach a torque wrench to it.
