Clutch shaft nut torque

[Brainfry]

Say that fast 10 times....

Anyway, I've searched through here and in the service cd, but can't seem to find the specs on the main inner nut that goes on the main shaft in the clutch. That, or I simply don't know what it's officially called. At any rate, I've heard everything from 170ft lbs to 100ft lbs. It's the 20mm x 1. I can't even find anything with a spec higher than 100ft lbs in that torque section. Puzzling.

Anybody got the right figure?

Thanks!

I have to assume it's a crankshaft gear fixing nut... 190nm...

That is what I was thinking as well. Just use common sense, if it is getting ridiculously hard, stop!

i did mine last week. i torqued her down with three quick blips of the trigger on the 1/2" impact. + or - a blip. seems like its still good after 600 miles

yeah, I'm trying to avoid that... I'm fine taking it off with an impact, just leary putting it back on.... I think I'm good at around 130 ft lbs with a torque wrench... and high strength loctite... we'll see come Sunday if it spins off on the track.

Thanks all,

THats good to hear, my impacts runs about 130lbs. But I don't recall if I used loctite on that one though..

I tightened mine to 170nm with a big ass torque wrench per the instructions that came with my slipper clutch.
