TORQUEING REAR AXLE
Spitfire:
I'm with the tool kit spanner and foot brigade.
Cheers

Bryanj:
And just keep going till the pin hole lines up NOBODY EVER used shims
K2-K6:
Looks correct from calculations point of view.
I'd have gone 65 divided by 3 (36 inches equals 3 foot) gives 21.6 lb/ft with a 3ft lever or 1 yard in old money :)
I do like your inclusion of one fat b'stard as part of the calculations though, as I've got "one fat Pete the policeman" as a standard mate to help out with strenuous lifting etc.
Views on open ended spanner, a Bahco adjustable will easily do that job and torque rating if you want to buy something generally very useful. Very good quality.
The axle is more of a minimum torque rating to clamp the wheel sufficiently, with the upper limit highly unlikely to be breached mechanically by then aligning the split pin. If you use the method of reaching the minimum torque setting, then turn further to match the split pin, it's not going to give a problem.
Trigger:
You old boys worry too much.
As Bryan said, the holes never line up at the torque settings and that is the important bit ;)
Moorey:
65 ft Lbs = a bit of a grunt as you pull the spanner. :D
