Front tire change
Had to change the tire on the front of wide glide. Is there a tourqe value for the front axle nut and the two nuts on the bottom clamp of the slider?

Re: Front tire change
You probably won't be able to get an exact torque value on the axle nut, since you have to make sure the castellations line up with the hole in the axle, so you can put the cotter pin in.
And on the the bottom cap, remember that thos are 5/16 studs threaded into aluminum, so don't go too crazy on them!
