help axle spindle nut problemjimness 06-19-2003, 02:47 PM I'm doing a swap right now but I can't remove the axles from the project car or the front clip and I need to switch them. Whenever i try to get the 32mm nut off, the rotor and whole axles spins. any suggestion on how to get the nut loose? 94civic 06-19-2003, 05:27 PM if you haven't tried an impact wrench then try that. make sure you get a good one that puts out a lot of torque. that should get it off. candlaudio 06-19-2003, 05:33 PM well just to let you know i changed my axel this past weekend and Honda has a very dumb way to put them on..........ok first look at the nut and you will see that there is a groove in the end of the shaft and the rim around the nut is dented in that groove, that is to help keep the nut from backing off.....and i will tell you now if yours is like mine was. i had to take a torch to mine and cut the bolt and the end of the shaft off but you might get lucky and just be able to take a screw driver and a hammer and knock that rim back out of the slot............hope this helps ya Tofuboy 06-19-2003, 05:55 PM You suppose to use an impact gun with at least 400 fl/lb of torque to spain it off, but I guess it's too late. Good luck to your engine swap, hope you are not going to "modify" anything else before you realize that you need the part. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
