Jason- Buell P/N's for the latest black seal bearings made by KBC are: E0005.02A8B Rear wheel bearings E0004.02A8B Front wheel bearings Front axle: frt axle 39-41 ft lbs, frt pinch bolts 20-22 ft lbs. Remember front axle is LEFT HAND THREAD (righty loosy, lefty tighty!). Some click type torque wrenches do not work "lefty". Rear axle: (from another post) "upon assembly, before reinstalling tensioner wheel assembly you should seat the belt by squeezing the belt together top to bottom. tighten axle bolt to 23-27 ft/lbs then back off two full turns, then torque to 48-52 ft/lbs. Tighten pinch bolt to 40-45ft/lbs." Note- many of us have omitted the step about removing and reinstalling the idler wheel without problems. | ||

I just did half of this when i replaced my rear tire and I did not remove the idler. Lower belt guard was all I removed besides the axle. Good luck! It is super easy with no adjustments needed. |
