Rear axle nut question

[vestril]

I had a bracket made to relocate my license plate and it fits under rear axle nut. My question is if I take off just one side will it throw anything out of balance? Also I don't have a torque wrench how critical is the torque spec? I know its important but will it cause damage?

Thanks in Advance

Removing that nut won't affect belt tension or anything else as you will not be turning the belt adjusting screws. While torque is very important, few use a torque wrench on that nut I suspect. I use a 12" shifting spanner and do it 'fairly tight' ie as tight as it felt to loosen plus a 'a little bit extra' (technical term).

I have two torque wrench's. Haven't used them since the 70's, Till i got the Spyder, I use them on the front sprocket nut , And the rear axle nut.
Two very important items that you don't want to come lose.
