Hi there. Does anybody know what the proper torque setting is for the rear axle nuts ? FYI For the last 4 months I've been hearing a rattle in the left rear when at low speed. I finally took off the wheel to see what's up and found that it was the axle nut tumbling around in the hub cap. It was installed without a cotter pin !! The wheel could've come off at any time and I'd be DEAD.

Who did the PDI Ice ships it in a steel crate some one assembly it. I got 3 I put them together Put my rear axle nuts to 50 foot pounds. My wheel came off I didn't die it just fell on ground and dragged my axle broke clean off. Wheel came by me and sat in the grass waiting for me to get up and get it. It looked like axle was harder much to hard.But that was almost 3 years ago 7,000 miles ago. And yes wife and I are still riding then and enjoying them very much here in east TN.

Ha ! Good story. I'd guess you weren't on a highway at a high rate of speed. Thanks for the advice. Also enjoying mine up here in Canada.
