I searched s2ki, as well as majestic honda's parts website but I could not figure out what category it belongs under


anyways. Anyone know what section to search under, or the part number of the axle nut?

DO I even have to get a new nut? Can I just retorque and then stake the old nut again?

 

I'm pretty sure you can reuse the nut and re stake as well.

(pretty sure - being the key not 100% - I have saw it re used and then others get new......see below LINK)

This may help, come to find out it was in teh FAQ's

 

Oh sweet link. Should have figured it could be under something like that

I still couldnt find the part though. I guess I'll just reuse it for now.

 

Definitely re-use it, this way you can tell if it's done right

The stake mark should move from 12 oclock to about 1:30-2 oclock if you do it right.

Of course, this is on an S2000 that has never been tampered with.

 

So I'm guessing I dont need a torque wrench?

220 ft/lbs is pretty ridiculous - I doubt i'd be able to buy one for a reasonable price...

If i just move it to about ... 1:45 it should be pretty correct right Bill?

 

No. you have to remove it first and grease the face of the nut.

I wouldn't guess. To tight is no good either.

 

I popped off my centercap last night - the stake mark was actually at the 10:00 position

this is probably a stupid question that I could figure out myself but... I'm bored at work and dont wanna wait


but does that piece rotate with the rotation of the wheel itself?

Am I supposed to rotate the wheel so that the stake mark is facing 12:00?

Thanks again Bill

just did mine today the passenger side was clicking a bit. Took care of it.

 

Just finished mine. Too lazy to go check if it worked

Re-staking the nut was a bit tough.
