Re: [ST] Torque spec on RS rear wheel?



Geez Guys, 

All I needed was a torque spec, I didnt mean to start
a thread...

:-)

What I find interesting is the whole concept of
snapping bolts. Being the ham fisted brute that I am,
I have done this a few times on lesser things the size
of caliper bolts and such, but I cant imagine a human
being able to snap off the axle bolt on my RS...Maybe
I need to start eating Wheaties again....
