Default Re: Why did my axle break?

If I want to check the torque on those axle nuts, do I need to remove the wheel or can I just remove the hub cap? May be a stupid question, but I'm having trouble visualizing it.

Alexi_ There is a cotter pin to remove in order to check axle nut torque. It will be much easier to remove the wheel in order to get the cotter pin out and back in later. If there is no cotter pin in your axle, by all means install new cotter pins.
