RXV brake torque

[PuttPutt]

Hello to all. Searching for the motor brake torque specs (2009 RXV)
found different answers. Which is correct?

53 - 71 In. lbs or 106 - 142 in lbs

Thanks

I don't have specs with me.
Use small (1/4') socket with short handle.
Compress lock washer then snug up.
Kinda like oil filters, just tighten so it is secure.

Make sure brake is engaged with lug on motor.
Do not use bolts to pull brake to motor.
Brake should slide on a clean, rust free motor lug
Flush to motor with ease.

Use wire brush on motor if mounting area or lug is dirty/rusty.

Tighten all bolts to the same torque
Tighten a little bit on all bolts before you
Completely tighten one so brake seats evenly.

Thanks HiTech, I read that method also, but your the first to say kinda like an oil filter. Now I have changed a bunch of oil filters so your talking my language. Scratch the small torque wrench off the shopping list.

Yeah Red has it right. Whenever (99.9% anyway) there is a lockwasher or high collar lockwasher, all you have to do is make sure you torque to a point that it is seated down and then maybe go another 1/4 turn. If it's an aluminum (or other soft metal housing) then maybe skip the extra 1/4 turn. Just snug it up and make sure the lock washer is set down.

Thanks Pinball, hope the new brake arrives today. These are the directions I'm following:

1) DO NOT over tighten bolts
2) CLEAN MOUNTING SURFACES and motor lug
3) Do not unplug or plug brake connector with key on or in "N" ( Key off while PLUG'n)
4) Brake should be ENERGIZED (cart in tow mode - key to "N" ) while brake bolts tightened.

Put the cart on flat ground, chock wheels (both of these are very important). Tow position, key off, leave batteries hooked up ( you will need power during re-install.) Unplug the brake, remove 3x 10mm bolts on brake. Remove brake. Clean mounting surface on motor. Hang new brake on armature, push cart just slightly to point plug towards top to line up holes. Start all three bolts (just barely). Plug brake in, put cart in neutral (this should unlock the brake, don't let the cart roll away).
Tighten bolts evenly to 10 n-13 INCH POUNDS, if you don't have a inch-torque wrench, tighten the bolts enough to fully compress the lock washers, not much more.. Turn key off, tow/run back to run, turn key on, test drive, celebrate with beer.

I know this is from a while ago, but just browsing

This is typo, no? the torque spec is as described below: 53-71 in/lbs

Set torque wrench between 53 to 65 in. lbs (6-8 Nm) and tighten screws be sure not to over tighten.

From the for-what’s-worth department:

I got my torque wrench from advance auto parts for about $15.00. It was a quarter inch drive, and would work inside the rear body of the cart.

You are a bit blind, however I figured out that half gauge deflection is pretty close to 50 in pounds.
