does anyone know how to tighten the rear spindle nut? I would be so grateful...I hate going to the idiots at the local honda dealership.

Please have someone else confirm this , but it looks like it calls for 181 Ft. Pounds of torque before the nut is "staked".

You cannot re-use the old spindle nuts. Go buy new ones, get the proper sized socket, then torque it down to 181 ft/lbs. To hold the hub from spinning, use the e-brake. Do NOT put it in gear. You can also use the small cut outs in the rotor and put a piece of strong metal as well to keep the stress on the e-brake cables down and because the e-brake might not be enough to hold 181 ft/lbs. Most shops have a long metal screw driver and put it on the lug bolts themselves but this damages them. After you get it tightened down, if there was originally a pin in there, put a new pin inside. Lower the e-brake, put on the wheels, go drive around.

Mechanics at the honda dealership get paid $15 an hour and do a lot of work. You can get paid more anywhere else basically. Would you really wanna do your best if you had no incentive to do so?

Plus a lot of them juggle work and school together. Which is why they work at honda since the schedules are so flexable. You get pretty tired and depressed after a while.
