I put my rear fender back on after getting it powder coated and was tightening down the flange bolt with the washer that screws into the hex bolt holding the rear shock in place. It tightened down a little bit but never seem to fully tighten so i kept going and ended up snapping the bolt head off. We got the bolt out and have a new one but im wondering what the ft lbs are for that flange bolt, using a torque wrench. I tried looking all over but could only find where it says the hex bolt is 20 ft lbs but nothing ever said anything about the bolt that screws into that one. Also, is there a reason that bolt would feel like it wasnt getting any tighter but I still managed to snap the head off? Its only the second time I have ever loosened that bolt and it didnt look damaged the first time.
