Seems like a Code25 has appeared for some riders as well as a Code26. Might be worth adding Code25?Please let me know if there are things that we could be adding to this listing to help keep the site in order.

MrSled, I think under "clutching" where it reads "Do not rotate CCW..." it should read "Always rotate CCW...", right?Please let me know if there are things that we could be adding to this listing to help keep the site in order.

It should read - Do not rotate CW or Always rotate CCW

I am looking for skid torque specs mainly rear axel torque. I am installing a four wheel kit. Thanks.

As you can see they differ for no reason at all. Rear axle is something you may have to do on trail if track stretches etc. I usually just make them tight. Loctite everything.
