Does anyone know the torque specs for the rear axle nut and rear sprocket bolts? The rear axle nut is 20mm and rear sprocket bolts are 17mm. The only info I have is this chart I downloaded from the RD 350 manual. Just wanted to be sure before tightening them.
Thanks!
I don't know what they should be but you go by the thread size, not the head size.

This!
Also bump your specs down some if you use anti-seize. About 20% less is good.
I looked in the RD400C manual (closest match I can find to RD350).
Rear axle torque range is 87-130 foot-pounds.
Front sprocket 36-58 foot-pounds.
I didn't find the rear sprocket bolt torques and won't make a guess, except that the numbers will be much lower than the two posted above for the axle and front (transmission side) sprocket.
Thanks man! Illl keep them on the low side of those numbers and hope for the best. I ordered a manual but couldn't find anything either.
