matthend Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Need to tighten my chain. Cannot for the life of me remember the size of the rear axle nut on my 97. Anyone know off the top of their head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicholy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 If I recall, 27mm. But, that is on my 99. Crescent wrench works in a pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobicus Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 27mm, or 1.25 inches. Use a 6 sided socket, going from memory here the torque spec is 65 ft-lbs And the other side is a 22mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat830 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 69 ft lbs It just sticks in my mind for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthend Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 thanks all! I had actually tried the crescent wrench option, but could not get a good grip because of the lip that surrounds the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicholy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Can't believe Hobi missed the 69 ft./lb. My world is now collapsing around me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonslayer Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I do not own a 27 millimeter so I use a 1 1/8" , works fine for me. I just tighten until it feels just right:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have gone out to the garage and looked at the one I have. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
