OK, first, I apologize for the old school star wars allusion.
Down to business. During normal acceleration from a standstill, I am hearing a slight click from the rear of the car as it first begins to move. Almost as if something was stuck, and it breaks free as the wheels start to move. I have no clue if this is coming from the dif, a part of the axle, or wheel/brake area. My first guess would be the dif I suppose. - MY01 with 45k mi - happens in both first gear and reverese - when I say "normal" acceleration, I mean "normal." (not launching hard) I apologize if this has been addressed before, or if it is a somewhat common occurrence If anyone has any ideas let me know. |

I'll give this a shot this weekend. |

You will need a bigger torque wrench. I think the spec is 200 lbs, or something close to that.
It was the main reason I brought it in to get it done (which I HATE to do). Better than buying a monster torque wrench for a one-time thing. That should do it though.

36MM, or 1 7/16 works great also. You'll also need a punch shaped to un-stake the nut, and another blunt chisel to re-stake it.
As of now, I've got two guys who may have bad bearings from leaving it unattended. We'll see how it goes after Saturday. -------------------- Billman250 S2000 Repair DaveOnLI....RIP till we come together again....

This may be a stupid question, but where is the axle nut? What does it look like?
I have this same clicking noise when starting to move, too. -------------------- |

OT: Could this same symptom be seen/heard in a 95 Accord (from the front wheels, obviously)? I've got a click as I let my clutch out, but I was thinking it was something with the clutch or tranny, because it doesn't just occur when I first start out, it does it pretty much any time I let the clutch out. Plus, I have some hella bad clutch chatter sometimes (though the clutch never slips).
Factory clutch, 172K miles. Used to be my parents' car... they said the chatter has occurred as long as they can remember. Never asked 'em about the click, because I assumed it's related. |

Great picture of it here (as well as the procedure for loosening/tightening it). It's referred to as the spindle nut in that thread. http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=223599 |

Update....the bearing is ok, but the hub is shot. Leaving the nut loose for a prolonged time has allowed the inner bearing race to spin on the hub. The hub has worn down about .008 and the once press fit race is now sloping around on the hub.
I'd urge all s2k owners to tend to the alxe nuts now  |
