Rear Axle Nut Size '15 RG
Good morning all!
First - how I could tell it was time to tighten the secondary belt/Drive belt. I recently upgraded my cams on my '15 RGS with 551 S & S. Great improvement between 2K and 4K... nothing above that.
Sorry I digress...
Anything over 4K under hard acceleration I would get a strong vibration... like you couldn't see the gauges anymore. Maybe the cams were off or something major is about to come flying through my leg??? Nope, the belt was 1/2" out of adjustment! I know...I know but my gauge for $18 from eBay just came in!
Anyways I thought at my age I had just about every tool I could need. Come to find out my largest socket, 1 1/4" was too small so I have to use a giant adjustable and an assistant.
I see other posts for earlier models but was unsure if it the same size. I couldn't find my Caliper to measure mine (thanks kids!).
