Anyone have the torque specs schematics for the lever axles on the primary. I can’t find the torque specs. And red or blue loctite?

Likely blue, and what part exactly ? The pin that holds the arms and rollers in place ?

These are the ones I was trying to describe. I went to our dealer and got the schematic

Well I doubled checked, and found the same that you posted, I must have skipped over that, or didnt zoom in enough to see the bolts.

However the page that I did posts states 24nm or 18 ft lbs, which call them lever screws... more than once.

I would definitely go with the lesser torque. 18 ft lbs seems like a lot for an M6 bolt, personally I've never torqued those just a couple ugaduggas with my little impact and they stay put, no loctite either. 20210115_211227.jpg 20210115_211240.jpg 20210115_211302.jpg

08 would have been the TRA 5 I believe ?
800 Etec runs the TRA 7..

Found an interesting thing out last week when a buddy brought his 2015 XM in with the primary locked, he broke one of those levers/arms... I knew I had a set from a TRA 3... And much to my surprise they had the same damn part number on them.. 20210115_211708.jpg
