Default Axle play?

I have the rear clicking syndrome, seems this is very commin but the honda stealer ship i just recently took it to denys any TSB.... so i just guess ill have to print it up and how em, and as for the Axle play. I had a local tuner look into the clicking noise and he says i need new axles cause they have too much play? I think ill go with vipers suggestion to get the hub and bearings fixed first

There is no TSB on the Axle nut "clicking"

There is a Service news article covering the revised torque setting and clicking noise.

This is a good starting place to resolve your situation. Too much "play" in the axles is a matter of interpretation and may be a function of worn CV joints or too much wear in the rear diff. If it were the CV joints, you should be feeling some vibration upon moderate acceleration. If it were the rear diff, you should be hearing some odd whining.

ps. It's a shame that the customer must print off TSBs for the dealer just to get them to live up to their responsibilities.

Definitely got alittle vibration upon acceleration, my tuner bud says axles are the best way to go, but another thing.... should a dealer really be lifting the car by the pumpkin?
