Hi All,

I got a clicking noise out of the rear of my car yesterday. A quick search in the Under the Hood forum let me know that I just need to tighten the rear spindle nuts. Apparently the torque specification changed a while back and most of the older cars might go through this. You can check it out here:

Note that the repercusions of not fixing this can include destroying your bearings and hubs .

If anyone in the Huntington Beach/OC/LA area has a 36mm socket and a high test torque wrench (at least 220 ft-lb), I'd be happy to swing by your place with a 6-pack of your favorite beer. I can bring everything else necessary for the job and get it done in about 15 min at your place. Other than loaning me the tools, the only other thing I ask is that you enjoy one of those cold, tasty beers that I'm bringing with me.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

 

I have one. I'm actually doing an informal tech day for some of the local guys tomorrow, albeit its Mother's Day. Shoot me a PM with your number.

 

Swing by, i have torque wrench, air compressor, impact gun, jack, jackstand, 36mm nuts, grease

I am doing mine soon(damn school), BUT i am in pasadena area, not sure it's too far from you.

 

Would you mind letting me know when you're going to do this as well? Beer/food/whatever can be provided I'm only a couple miles away

 

shoot me an im, I am thinking sometime this week, probably night time at weekend.

i have to go to a friend's place since my POS torque wrench only goes up to 150ftlb

but he lives like 10 minute away

 

Dood! Can I come?

mine goes up to 250lb.. but i thinks #### up.... newton @ 0 while ft/lb reads 25???.... would craftsman let you exchange on torque rachet?

 

Let's make it happen, IAM7HEAD Fix your nuts day

WEDS MAY 17 of THIS WEEK

around 4 o clock PM, swing by and have your NUT fixed.

Some of you guys might need a new set of nuts from Honda, so get those before time if you need those.

 

626 Tech Day at your house

 

Damn!!!!! No way I can make it to Pasadena this Wednesday. Having a day job can suck sometimes. Any other takers? Projekt, I haven't heard back from you. I would host a 714 Fix Your Nut(s) day, but there is a significant lack of parking around my place and I don't have the tools. Beer offer is now upped to a case. Come on, where my drinkers at!?!?!?
