Tight plus a little more. I figure if the MoCo gave me a wrench to use,
I'd use it. I figger the keeper will keep it from falling off if it
loosens.

And THAT's how Harleys earned a rep for leaking oil all over the landscape.....

My rear axle is going to leak oil?

Ask Santa to bring you one a them H-D you-crank-it lifts, beats any kinda
bottle jack hands down. Wide footprint and stable... I use a tie-down
between the jugs wrapped around the lift to hold it snug to the bike. You
can get pretty aggressive yankin' things around to line up wheels n axles
without ending up with a motorcycle sittin' on top of yer gourd. Very
precise and worth every dollar I didn't spend on it :-) Thanks Santa!
