my 01 has this clicking noise. is this something i can fix on my own pretty easily?

 

Yes very easy to fix:


1. Take off wheel caps
2. Unstake hub nut, that means to get a screwdriver or something that you can bend out the part of the nut that is bent in to hold the nut in place.
3. Get a 36 mm socket and a breaker bar and take of the nuts.
4. clean the nuts and add some new grease use a good amount.
5. Get a tourque wrench and retourque the hub nuts to 220 ft lbs.
6. restake nuts, and put caps back on and your clicking is gone.

 

sweet. thanks man!

 

I did this, noise went away for two weeks. Then I read here somewhere to torque up to 240 ft lbs. Can anybody tell me if that's too much? I did retorque yesterday, the noise is gone again, but now I see the reason for new nuts. The tapered end of the nut which is used for staking now has the piece broken, so it's not going to lock properly. I'm on the way to the dealer to pick up two new nuts, going to 230 or 240 unless somebody here can tell me that's not okay. By the way, my dealer is City Honda in St. John's, Newfoundland. I can only say they are the nicest people to deal with! Every last one of them! It's a pity they're so far away from all you folks that seem to encounter some bad dealers. The owner has an S as well.
Please and thank you.

 

I believe i tq'd mine to 220 ft lbs a couple years ago and havn't had problem since.

 

ok i worked for honda there is a tsb and ur car does apply ,it was in service news as well but an easy fix ,
