Anyone know the torque for the bottom bolts under the lower legs? The 10mm nut with the plastic crush washer.

It's an aluminium nut on an aluminium thread so don't want to over tighten them. They wern't very tight when I removed them.

Thanks

Should have the info in there somewhere, maybe under seal replacement or any procedure that involves removing the lowers. What fork do you have?

May be slightly old chart, but Bottom nut torque 5-6 n/m seems pretty standard and corresponds with my 'snug, not pissing oil out' guideline.

^ I'd agree with that. 50 inch pounds / 5.65Nm appears to be pretty standard
