Title: Need Torque Value for Rear Axle Nut!!
Post by: Tourmeister on June 06, 2004, 06:24:17 PM
Howdy,

We are reinstalling the rear wheel on a friends GS500 but have no idea what the torque value is for the rear axle nut. Anyone have a shop manual that would mind looking it up for us? I'd sure appreciate it!  :thumb:

Adios,
