I am about to change my drive-axle and wanted to know if the 36MM axle nut needs to be torqued? If so, what are the specs?

Its supposed to be hella tight man....like 180 lbs...I looked in my CL manual and would you know they mention nothing of it...they say "Refer to the 2.3 manual"

?

Thanks. Sounds like where's! If the manual doesn't have it, then where can one find it?

Found the torque spec. I called Acura and they said it was 181lbs :beerchug:

Impact gun. Then stake the nut. Done.

The axle nut torque spec is critical. It's 181lbs. Preload on the bearing is important. If not done proper, bearing damage can occur.
