[QUOTE="Randy, post: 445482, member: 443"] Someone tell me if this is a stupid idea.... Get some type of marker or borrow the wifes finger nail polish while she isn't looking and draw a line (as fine as possible) from the front axle bolt to the fork leg. Loosen the front axle and, using a torque wrench, see how many ft/lbs it takes to get the lines to line up (shouldn't be more than 52 ft/lbs IIRC). If the Axle was too tight, it could also have detrimental effects on the bearing. [/QUOTE]
