I'm putting on all new idler wheels on the Apex and would like to know how much to torque the nuts. Thanks in advance: Ronnie
 
Not to sound like a smart A$$ but I just tightend them up using a standard length 3/8" ratchet. Tighten till it feels tight. If you used the provided nuts they should have a metal tab or retainer. Similar to a nylock nut but can be removed and reused without effecting the locking ability as much if at all. It's pretty effective and is unlikely to come loose on you. Not sure which wheels you are installing but the tightness of the nut should not effect the wheels rotation or free wheeling.
 
Around 42 lbs is a good bet for the idlers
