Front axle nut torque

maylar · May 11, 2020

Is there a torque spec for the front axle nut? Can't find it in the books.

FYI Old Britts site has a list of torque specs for Commandos - they call for 60 ft/lbs on spindle nut

I have always found the torque settings in shop manual odd.... it specifies zenor diode mounting nut & oil feed banjo bolt torque, but not figures for safety critical fittings like wheel spindle nuts?...

the correct torque is a good firm but not a hard beast

If the zenor come adrift it's no big deal... the front wheel is somewhat more of a buttock clenching event
