Words of advice in relation to this topic:
Axle bolts on most fox forks are only 2nm
Use a torq wrench when possible! Or at least to get the idea of how much 2nm is.

There's only about 2 threads holding it, any over tightening WILL strip it. Trust me haha

I use a Bontager 5nm torque tool on every 4mm bolt I ever tighten

Even ones that quote a max torque lower than that?

I always torque set nuts and bolts to manufacturers specs. They wouldn't do torque settings for the fun of it. HALFORDS do a low cost torque wrench, only about £12-15, looks flimsy ,but their not. As long as you don't try to undo nuts and bolts with them their pretty good. I always say if you look after your bike your bike will look after you.
