I don't have one that goes that high either. I just did the math and figured that with my 175lbs at the end of a 1.5' breaker bar, would be 262ft/lb, and then figured out exactly what part of the bar I had to put my weight on to get the correct torque. I think I over tightened it slightly considering how many people on the forum recently said they've had that nut come loose. I know the XB torque rating got upped to something closer to 250-260ft/lb, but I heard the tubers weren't the same because they didn't have the same bearings and wouldn't do well with that much torque on them. Best if you don't have to remove those at all.
If you didn't order the replacement shift shaft seal, but really gentle with that when you reinstall the cover. |

From the files of don't ask me how I know. On that crankshaft nut, in addition to the torque specs, make sure to use Red Loctite after cleaning off any oil on the threads. My crankshaft nut came loose. I torqued it down and within 800 miles it came loose again. Had to go back in with the Loctite and it has been fine for 10,000 miles since. Missing such a simple thing--2 minutes worth of work time--required a lot of work to open up the primary again. |

nothing says suck like havin to do a job over once you thought you were done. I'm trying to get away with not removing/disturbing that nut whilst replacing starter gasket. |

I cleaned off the crankshaft well, but I am having second thoughts about how well I did cleaning off the threads of the nut itself. Hopefully it holds. |
