[QUOTE="keithaba, post: 374824, member: 3720"] My FZ1's rear axle is 32 mm bolt and the book says 108 ft pounds of torque. I only torqued it to about 95, I think 108 is crazy for any bolt. Anyway, at the very end, I notice a very thin strip of metal about an inch long.... shit.... Is there a good way to determine if the axle or the bolt is compromised? It's on tight as hell, but I just don't know what to do. The rear axle is slightly important, especially considering there is no pinch bolt on an FZ1. [/QUOTE]
