85 400 WRX axles and postioning

Sorry guys I really did search the forum for these topics, but I my search skills just suck.

So here I go - Need to know the torque values for both axle nuts and even before that how do I position the rear axle and know that it's straight. The old Jap bikes I've had, always had the small hash marks to count. Not the case on this old Husky. Do I measure the gap at the adjuster?

Is there a whole bike torque table on this site? There's gotta be right?
Thanks in advance.

Usually measure between the swing arm pivot & rear axle on both sides. Not sure on torque specs.

The hash marks aren't always correct or equal side to side. They offer a u shaped block with a binder bolt with a rod that runs parallel to the drive chain. It's like a c clamp with a rod extension, this clamps on the sprocket. The rod runs along side the chain.

I even seen streetbikes were the hash marks were off.

i use the motion pro tool, something like what big bill describes. do not go by bolt length of adjuster, visible gaps, etc.. etc..

Great looking tool. Just bought one myself.

It's adjusting the alignment to perfection.

Ok, got to get one of these on order... What about the torque values?

Tight enough!? That's my torque value

once the elbow gristle goes pop, its tight enough

tighten until it strips, then back out half a turn

There is always 1.....

Or maybe 2 in this case!

Can tell suprize is a young guy, before elbow pops use your foot to push down on the wrench then it's tight enough.
