'03 XB9 front fork??

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

Couple questions on the XB front forks:

1.) The axle/caliper mounting brackets at the bottom of the lowers are held on with an allen-headed bolt up through the middle. Is there a torque rating for those when installed and tightened up?

2.) What size is the allen head? What size & length is the bolt?

3.) Will fork fluid leak out when the bolt and/or the bracket are removed from the lower leg?


Thanks is advance,

K.
