Rear axle nut torque spec on S4R? Help - Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

svjj · 04-28-2008, 08:11 PM

I just got a new rear tire and was putting the rear wheel back on the bike. Does anyone have the torque spec for the rear axle nut on a 2007 S4R?
I searched this but was unable to turn any info up. Can any of you help me?

Thanks,
JJ

I thought the same thing, but it's in the book twice.

I guess when the wheel is attached to the bike with one nut, that nut has to be on there really good.

Sorry that I didn't see this earlier, but all is well.

Yeah, that beeyotch is on there tight, but it is 46 mm!!

Yea it is a big a@! nut . I thought it was going to be tight but that was tighter than I thought. I am glad I asked. Thanks for the Help [thumbsup].

Definitely a tough nut to crack. Best advice I've gotten is to be sure your socket is good quality and keep plenty of pressure against wheel with the socket whether loosening or tightening it. Nut is quite shallow and easy to round-off or have the socket slip off.

This nut is why I "splurged" for a $10 (it was on "sale") electric impact wrench at Harbor Freight.
