RE: [ST] Front Wheel Installation

["Alan Bretschneider" <abretsch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let me ask you this, do you cinch the axle bolt by feel or do you torque
the axle as stated in the book?
If I back off the axle bolt a little the tire will spin with little
effort. 
I'm trying to follow the book and use the recommended torque settings
but maybe this should be done by "feel"?

Thanks again for your help

Alan...

Alan,

Something sounds wrong.  Loosen axle  and see if resistance goes away.  
There should only be a very slight resistance and wheel should spin
rather freely with the calipers removed.  Ensure speedo drive is engaged
properly and the positioning is correct.
