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. Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2012
