• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2015 rtl rear axle

Does anyone happen to know the torque specs for the rear brake rotor and rear axle nut?
By the way, the cheap Harbor Freight disk brake set has a plate to fit the 2 holes in the rear caliper and the tool turned it back in with hardly any effort. Well worth the money spent.

I searched, came up with a few hundred threads for every word and couldn't find what I was looking for.

Thanks
 
I found this for the front, but nothing for the back yet.

Front caliper bolts are 35 lbf*ft 48 N*m
Front Wheel lugs are 77lbf*ft 105 N*m
 
Found this
rear brake rotor bolts 68 lbf FT
rear caliper bolts 77 lbf ft
rear axle nut 166 lbf ft

However it is showing the 2 piece rear wheel and hub like on the older RT and this is a 2015 manual. Mine has the incorporated hub like a 2016. Does nayone know if the torque specs are the same?

Thanks

They are the same.
 
The rear axle nut is really 177 ftlbs? How do you tighten the nut with the cotter pin? I have a 2013 RTL.

You remove the cotter pin, tighten and then replace with a new cotter pin. The cotter pin is only to hold the nut onto the axle in case it backs completely off.
