That sounds right, but it should be pointed to the rear, AWAY from 
the air cleaner. You have to reach down with an open end 10mm 
wrench to loosen it. The wrench just fits, between the fan housing 
and a rod which is the shaft for the air cooling flaps, to reach that 
nut. Don't overtighten the nut, it only has to be snug. It is easy to 
overtighten and distort the clamp.
