I believe I've seen an updated torque value list of various items here. I've used the search function , without success. Anyone have the link bookmarked? I need specifically the axle torques. My manual says 28 and 45# for front and rear as low figures.

What year and model? My shop manual for 2008 XT has 38 - 42 ft lbs for the front and 48 -52 for the rear. The low figure is an initial torque to seat the assembly manual then says to back off a couple of turns and torque to correct value.

The low figure is the lower end of the final torque value. The figure for the initial torque value is 1/2 of the final torque value. For example on the rear I tighten mine to 25 ft lb, back off two turns and then retorque to 50 ft lbs.

Woops!, by the low figure I did mean the initial value (just used to seat / align everything). The 48-52 ft lbs would be the range of the final torque value (anywhere between and including those numbers is an acceptable value). I normally use a 'click' style wrench and set the rear to 50 ft lbs (between the high and low values).

Torque your rear axle to 25 ft lbs.
Back it off two full turns.
Re-torque to 50 ft lbs.
