Bearing Retainer Torque (rear wheel)

Post by fatslob »



Hello, I'm still working on my 77 naked Goldwing, parts at chromer, rims having tires mounted. I do have a question, I replaced the rear bearings, and wanted to know what the torque is for the retainer before I stake it. Hopefully I'll have a completion photo soon. Hope everyone is enjoying the riding season, I'm really jealous!

Thanks, Bob Papin (Fatslob)

I have never seen a spec for the torque on the retainer. Even my Honda manual just says to "tighten and peen. If I remember correctly all you have to do is snug it up to keep the bearing from moving outward.

Thanks for the info. I'll snug and stake it.
