36mm. I have never bothered to undo the tab- I ust take them off with an impact wrench. Never damaged an axle by doing so. Sorry, I don't know the correct torque.

thanks, do you re-use the nut and re-stake the tab with a drift?

No, It's not reccomended to reuse any stake nut. It's actually a poor locking device, But that's what Honda and most every other manufacturer uses.

No it was just a consensus for the guys with squeaks.

These was something issued by Honda about increasing the torque on them (Here).

Please post socket size and part number when you get a chance.

Honda has its own grease (urea type) that is recommended for its clutch replacement; it probably can be used in this application as well.
