:lol: Surprised the rear wheel could even turn with the swingarm pinching it like that!

I know your pain though, I've worked on a couple guys' bikes that just tighten everything down until they can't turn it with their 1/2" drive socket anymore. Freakin' fantastic for bolts that get super hot!

I tourque all my nuts down to 66 foot pounds, thats all I can tourque them down, but I could always use a manly man to cum over and tourqe them down some more for me

I'm thinking that someone is messing with NTS's account. :D

I'm hoping there was a cotter pin in there or something - talk about luck if that thing didn't spin loose :tremble::tremble:


I've been saying that all day but nobody has confirmed or denied :lol:

Bought a torque wrench yesterday while at Autozone picking up some other stuff.

Look closer, there are two NTS accounts....

holy crap, you're right :lol:

Nope, no cotter pin on my setup. This one has a locknut with two little pieces of steel that lock on the threads when tightened down. I don't recall ever seeing anything like this one before. ??? It's similar to a nylock, only there's no nylon. :D

Jesus, you're good man, damn good. I would have never noticed that. :whatwhat:


z06boy, little something that you may or may not know about tourqe wrenches. They work best when used above half of their max setting. In other words, get one that maxxes out not too far above what you will mostly be using it for. You don't want to use a 250 ft. lbs. wrench on a 30 ft. lbs. nut just because it will go down that far. That's my little contribution for the day. :D

Honestly I didn't know that but it makes perfect sense...thanks.



Oh wait this is the internet...of course I knew that :wtfru: !! :lol:
