Cv axle spindle nut size???

[j_fukin_t]

anyone know what size it would be on a 99-00 em1???

I use a 1 1/4" 1/2" drive socket for those nuts. i dont know what the correct metric conversion is. Once you get that big, it doesnt matter.

 

[j_fukin_t]

cool i searched but no cigar, if anyone knows metric lemme know

22mm prolly... But can't you just go find out what size it is by testing to see what socket fits?

 

[j_fukin_t]

yea i was seeing if anyone knew off hand so i can just go buy the socket ya know, i'll prob end up having to do that

22mm? MUCH too small. its between 31mm-35mm i believe. I use a 1 1/4" socket.

Can't do much on a Honda without at least a 10,12,17,19, or 22mm socket.

Isn't he talking about the lock nut on the end of the cv axles?

My bad I was thinking thread pitch 22x1.5, but to get the nut off its a 27mm.

^^^ B series axles in my civic (im pretty sure d series and b series are same nut size)

 

[Jay Jay]

its 32 mm

 

[j_fukin_t]

ok i've got answers so far of 32mm, 31mm or a 1 1/4 which one is it??? i know 22mm def isn't it, i have all the rest, i just don't feel like taking off my wheel in the dark w/ no light to find this out

 

[vandynamics]

well mathmaticaly 1 1/4" = 31.5mm so theres your answer. i believe jj nailed it on the head

 

[j_fukin_t]

then wouldn't 1 1/4 be too small??

i use 32 and everyone i know uses 32 this is a japanese car and they use the meteric system if it was a ford mustang then i would say things in inches :o)

actually, on the mid 80's up mustangs (and all american cars) most everything is metric.
because metric > sae

it was a joke i have no idea i would just assume american cars would measure things by inches since america does not follow the metric system but on another note if your used sae and theres a gap and your using a impact gun it could damage the socket. but i have done it befor

 

[vandynamics]

then wouldn't 1 1/4 be too small??
