Rear Axle Torque? - JustPassinThru_imp - 06-16-2015
This has probably been noted before; but my search isn't finding it.
It's time to snug up the chain a little bit. It's all pretty straightforward - EXCEPT torquing the axle bolts down.
Since I have a poor feel, I use a torque wrench on EVERYTHING.
Thanks to one and all for input.

It's a 2014.
65 ft-lbs. Good.
Now, all I have to do is remember to loosen them before trying to adjust the chain with the positioners - or I'll strip them out like Pirsig did.
