[QUOTE="BkrK12, post: 998475, member: 2701"] Quote FordBoy33: 3.I followed the suggestion to torque the acorn nuts securing the pumpkin to the swing arm after installing the wheel. I may not do that again next time, as it was much harder to torque those nuts with the wheel in place. The top inside nut was darn near impossible to get torqued, and I finally ended up just using a wrench on it by hand. Is there a trick to this? I managed to get the bottom inside one by using a few extensions that placed the torque wrench forward of the tire. Next time, slide the axle through without the rear wheel on and snug up the axle bolt just a little and then torque the acorn nuts. The axle will keep everything aligned and the missing wheel will give you more clearance for the torque wrench. Dan [/QUOTE]
