• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE610ie Back wheelnut torque?

Manual says 104 ft/lb, I got to 70 and my "feel" said more could mean trouble?

Anyone bother to try this:excuseme:
 
Were you able to finger-spin the nut all the way to the point where it bottomed out before you started torquing it? If not, then you probably have some "running torque" value that you need to add to the 70 you used. Torque specs are for clean, dry threads; any contaminants will skew the values.

Thx Yoss.

Everything clean and I always put a light coat of grease on the axle bolt and threads.

Have you torqued yours 104?
 
If you use any kind of grease on the nut you need to reduce the torque value (about 20% for regular mineral oil based grease). If you use anti seize on the threads you need to significantly reduce the torque value (possibly as much as 40% depending on the type of anti seize used). In you're case if you are using regular grease with out a friction modifier like moly or teflon then 70-80 ft. lbs. sounds about right.
 
I'd worry less about that nut loosening or falling off and more about being able to get it off with the tools you carry. My foot is my torque wrench on that nut.
