Very nice tech article. Thanks for documenting this. I'll be hitting it in a few years as the miles roll up on my 2007.

Is there a way I can move this to the tech articles or can only a moderator do this? Just trying to help the guys who wanted it moved over.

Only a mod can do that, however copy and paste the link to the thread and send it to Kai. He will get it added for you.

Just removed the front end tonight. As I was about to remove the stem nut, I realized it was less than finger tight. Spun right off without any resistance. I know it should have a final torque of around 13 ft/lbs. Did I just catch/prevent a future catastrophe?

Spun right off


Parts add up fast


Guess I'm doing it right


Thanks Chris for the endless chat tonight! Appreciated your input!!!
