Default Which nut s the Spindle nut

Hi guys,
The clicking is making me crazy and I need to address this issue NOW..... Do you guys have a picture/diagram of the spindle nut????? I tried looking in the manual but had no luck.....

Yogi, if you have one a special diagram, that would be super...

Thanks

It's that giant nut in the middle of the brake rotor.

And if you do it the nut is a 36mm...as the manual states the incorrect size.

I always just tighten that sucker on there as tight as I can with a 1/2dr breaker bar, and another breaker on top of that, then back it off an 1/8th of a turn.

The TSB for this by Honda has a revised torque of 220.

This was the common method when doing the rear wheel bearings on a FWD car. I'm not so sure this is applicable in the S2000.

I was changing my snow tires. If I ever put any part of my body under the car where I could get pinned to the floor, you can bet your sweet bippy there'll be a jackstand under there.
