I know,.. I should have a service manual by now, but could someone please tell me the torque specs for both axles and the pinch bolts. 2006 xb9r if it makes a difference. I just installed my Pirelli Diablo Rossos and am anxious to test them out..
Thanks
Nate
 
FRONT
axle: 39-41 ft-lbs.
pinch bolts: 20-22 ft-lbs.

REAR
axle: tighten to 23-27 ft-lbs, back off two full turns, then torque to 48-52 ft-lbs.
pinch bolts: 40-45 ft-lbs.

Don't forget to anti-seize the axles.
 
Other folks installed your XB's wheels? Over-torque can reduce length of bearing spacer tube, destroying assembly:

Rear spacer tube length: 202.8 +/- 0.05 mm, 7.984 +/- 0.002 inch
Front spacer tube length: 107.9 +/- 0.05mm, 4.248 +/- 0.002 inch

Not for new-style three-bearing rear wheels.
