No clue Ron. I have to assume it had a flaw that after a few installs and untold miles finally gave up when being given 100 ft pds and 45 degrees (probably plus a little). Without an x-ray or other inspection that I'll never do won't know. I had another one in the parts cabinet so it didn't even slow up the reassembly.
Once I stumbled up to the bike last night and saw what had happened I was... well... mildly disconsolate with the part. Yeah, we'll go with that. So I stepped out the garage door and threw the bitch as far as I could. There's live water on that side of the house (normally dry bed but it's been raining) so no telling how far the damn thing sailed downstream.
iski:
Damn.
fastfreddy:
sorry to hear about your cracked nut
J.D.:
When I work on the primary on my '02 I just torque that nut to the torque spec in the service manual and do not do the torque plus angle. I vaguely recall a change bulletin from the MoCo on this but never had an issue using loctite red and torquing to spec per the service manual.
