Ef8 Hub Nut Size

[Dxs]

quick question

the nut on the hub that u need to press the metal into the little groove
what size is that

i thought 30mm.. but my 30mm socket is too small

??

[ECU-MAN]

32mm from memory

Ill go look at my socket and conform it for you

[Dxs]

dont worry about confirmation if it is any bother.. i should know for sure tomoz..

i thought it was 30mm from what i have read.. but that didnt fit.. then the ed workshop manual said 36 but that was too big.. and the EF supplement said something about a 35mm driver was needed.. but no size or info on the nut..

by visual it looks like 32mm in conparison to the 30mm..

always fun and games

[ECU-MAN]

it is 32 mm

ludes and accords 36mm

[Dxs]

the 32 has a bit of play.. like wobbles a little..
but my mate who works on lancia's said this should be fine

just wondering if this is the norm.. having a bit of play between the socket and nut

[ECU-MAN]

not unless yoru socket is thrashed,

should be a nice fit 1 to 2mm play is normal

it is ok to undo the hub nut if the drive shaft is out of the box?

it is really the hub and the wheel having most of the force yeah?

have been having fun and games.. many broken objects...

just need a big breaker bar and big tools and a lot of force to get this mofo off?

i think i might buy a new nut too.. is honda the only place to get them from.. and are they are a standard, like multiple models (do i just ask for a da teg one.. the same?)

[ECU-MAN]

if you cant seperate the hub from the shaft
then look for Pauls DIY on how to change the boots

if you have to change the joint you will have to undo the HUB nut

[Dxs]

i want this bastard off... it is a matter of principle now


so they are a standard thing.. the nut? da's?

[ECU-MAN]

if you dont have an air gun, it will be hard
you will have to put it in the car, get soem one to press the brake pedal and you put yoru braker bar and maybe a bar on that for leveage and stand on it, then bounce up and down up and down and on the down action try to use your body weight to undo that mofo

best of luck

[Dxs]

yeah cheers,
so you dont know if the nut is the same size as say a DA or ED crx?

[ECU-MAN]

yeah the nut is the same as ED9 crx

[Dxs]

thanks mate.. you have been a lot of help
