Front axle clamp: 10 ft/lbs

I believe first gens and second gens have dif. torque settings.

According to my Gen 1 bible:

Front axle clamp: Upper 14 ftlb
Lower 22ftlb

Banjos: 22ftlb


rear axle: 80ftlb



Not dif. by much but whatever. One should always use brandnew bolts and washers every time anyway. Also, the torque settings will change with locktight, anti sieze, and oil. Once a bolt is torqued to its max, it has streched a percentage and will now require more torque to have the same holding power as it did before it was streched.

Sure, a bit of an overkill, but this is a cycle that I like to pound around on and dont want a caliper[/color] bolt shearing off as I brake hard into a corner.
