Axle Nut TSB - Sharing my Tools
I just got around to re-torquing the axel nuts https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/929...e-nut-tsb-diy/
I bought a 3/4" breaker bar and 36mm socket for the job (~$38 worth of tools) and not sure when I'll ever use those two things again lol
Using the handle from my jack also helped tremendously, it was so easy after I used that. Gotta love statics and M = F x d
So if anybody needs to still do this TSB then let me know and you can come over and do it. It takes less than 15 minutes for both wheels with the jack handle and saves you $38!

Thanks for offering and sharing the wealth, so to speak!
I may hit you up for this, Khang.
I did mine a couple years ago but the breaker bar I had (cheap from Harbor Freight) snapped right as I was getting the additional rotation added so I don't think I got it tight enough and now it seems to be clicking again.
And since we're going to be a few months before I have a garage again once we find a house, I won't have access to any of my tools.

I am not 100% on this, but I think there was an original tsb to increase the torque spec from 180ftlbs to 220ftlbs. This was in response to the original clicking issue. I think many people over time found the problem returning so that's what's prompted the new technique from billmam

Where did you see Billman estimated ft/lbs that high? Getting the stake point moved from a start point (12) to (2) has been adequate for most owners.

Is this for all years or limited to certain years? Did Honda ever issue a tech bulletin on this or is it something Billman just learned through experience?
