Title: Front motor mount torque spec
Post by: Garry in AZ on December 15, 2008, 01:36:04 PM
I have looked all over my shop manual, but I can't seem to find the torque spec for the long bolt that goes thru the middle of the front (rubber) motor mount on my 2000 FLHRI. I found all the specs for the bolts that attach the mount to the frame, and the bracket to the motor, but for some reason I can't find the torque spec for that long bolt. I assume too tight is as bad as too loose... so what do the resident experts say?

TIA,
Garry

I'm no expert, but I did stay at an Holiday Inn Express one night.  On my '03 the bolt should be torqued 35 - 45 ft. lbs.  Hope this helps.

I think it is 15-20ft-lbs at least according to the alignment tool instructions, that is.

Look under Vehicle Alignment Procedures for your model year.
My '02 Touring book states 35-45 ft=lbs.
