Hi all,

So, I was hoping to wait until a tech day to get this Axle Nut TSB done... but I'm feeling more worried as I drive the car more with the nicer weather lately and would like to get this some ASAP. So, I am hoping anyone with the tools is available to help out this weekend? I have a house with a space in a garage in Lynnwood (around 164th) where we can work on this and anyone else that would like to get this TSB done is more than welcome as well. Although I have only one spot in the garage at the time, we may have to go one at a time. Also a very important note is that the transition from the road to the driveway is not low car friendly... I'm at stock height as I still scrap if I don't go up the driveway carefully enough.

I know that this is kind of last minute for this weekend (5/9 or 5/10), but this should be pretty quick is bust out with the proper tools. So if anyone is interested let me know and/or PM me!

Thanks!
Oh and my name is Alex.

 

Is your car making any noise? For most later AP2s this is not actually necessary unless there is a direct problem. It's very easy, just get the right 3/4in socket along with breaker bar and cheater pipe. Make sure to stake the nut properly after you are done to prevent it backing out.

 

Actually, Billman250 claims that the later/newer model years are worse than the older models.

 

Actually, the proper way to do it is to re-check the torque and see if it was right in the first place.

 

i just did this.

i saw a really cool "nut staking punch" that id never seen before. it was kind of like an arrow head shape. pretty cool but like 65 bucks from snapon
