Does anyone know the size and torque settings for the rear axle nuts (both sides)? And are the nuts reverse threaded?
Thanks.

Don't go 'Godzilla on it, but two cresent wrenches will do nicely, tighten to very well snuged, or about 3/4 to 1 turn past snug. Sure this not technichal, but it's not a tough thing to do. Use 12" cresents and tighten till it stops and you'v put some grunt into it, watch the knuckles, and go ride

The FSM says: Tighten axle nut (metric) to 66-73 ft-lbs (89.5-98.9 Nm) and verify that belt deflection is correct.

Regards.

I always put a dot of nail polish at the top of the nut after putting the axle back on, so I can verify at a glance, even while riding, that the nut is not loosening or backing off. Just a little peace of mind.
