Yes, the rear nut requires a 36mm socket. I think we've established that.

But there seems to be some doubt over the torque setting so I put up the pdf so people can look it up for themselves. It says 180 Nm (+-10%) (or 132 lbft if you're Rockhopper )

(scouse accent) Calm down, calm down.

I only know the socket size for sure cos I adjusted the chain last night.
As for the 180Nm, I personally employ a midget to come and hold the socket whilst I turn the bike.

Always been 180Nm from 03 to 06.

It also says in the manual that chain adjustment should be done by dealer.....OMG, Is my warranty void now?
