TSB 011201 Clicking Rear
Sup All,
My car has developed a clicking rear a couple days ago. I did some research and found that many others have had this problem as well and it is most likely the spindle nut getting loose. I called up a couple local dealers but i really dont want to get stuck with a 125 diagnostic bill + $ labor to tighten a nut. I tried to tighten it at home to 220 ft/lbs with a 250lb torque wrench and a 36mm socket with extension(it would hit the car otherwise) and the extension broke/flew off and cutt the shit out of me. All parts were craftsman. If anyone knows of a dealer who can help me please let me know.
Thanks,
Tony Yeung

Its not a TSB. If your car is a 2000 I doubt any dealer will cover this. I had it taken care of at Hopkins Honda while my car was still under warranty.

^ Im too mechanically inclined lol. Serious though, i dont mean it just broke off the the socket or wrench, i mean a piece of it literally broke off and that sharp sucker was out like a bullet.
Vu, you got PM!

I took mine to Livermore Honda since Vu and I couldnt get mine apart (too rusted from Hawaii weather). Anyway it cost me under $200 to clean up all the rust. So they have done at least one there. Or take it to Dublin Honda and ask for Kip. Have Rob take a look at it. He worked on my S2000 from time to time so he also knows whats up or take it to Vu.

Bring it over to my place and I'll torque it for you. I've got a 36 mm deep socket that works just fine.
