Need some help with replacing axles,

I have a few problems,

1. what size socket do i need for the axle nut?
2. Haynes manuals suck ass and dont tell you what you need to torque bolts to or what size tools you need for the axles. Do you know where i can get an FSM online? Or maybe a write -up on how to replace axles?


Thanks,
Zach

 

It's either 32 mm or 36 mm. I could be mistaken but from what I've read, it depends on whether the car was made in North America (32mm) or Japan (36mm). At any rate, I am planning to buy a 36 mm so that I'll have both.

I have various write-ups for doing axles considering I've had to do them already. I have to do it again, too! Grrrrrrrr... However, I have a Civic. I'll email you what I have once I get it altogether (there are some additional sites for the Accord that I have at my disposal). I have the Civic Helms manual, though, so I'm mainly going to use that.

 

didnt you just fucking post this?

 

The original poster accidently posted the topic twice, the responder obviously didn't see the post that has responses.

 

For the accord it is a 36MM socket that you need. Also look in the front of the chapter for tq specs. The haynes won't tell you what size box end wrenchs or other tools that is for you to find out while you are working on it. Most common tool sets will have what you need
