taking the nut off the axle should be one of the FIRST things you do, on the ground, with the wheel on esp if you dont have a good impact, just pound that homo tab out of the way that you smash down so the nut wont turn and stick a huge breaker bar on that shyt

you can't take the spindle nut off with my rims on, it covers it up. I have an impact gun, but My friend who has the 1 1/4 socket is gone this weekend, and I alreay tried a non impact gun socket and craked it. I'll work on it next weekend.

thats what i do, and it works every time, then you can take the hole hub assembly off with the half-shaft connected.(if you remove the caliper)

or you could put it in gear and have someone hold the break, while you use a breaker bar to get it off. that nut should not be the hardest part of the install. the hardest part for me was getting the tranny back on, and finding a socket to fit the preasure plate.

BTW what act did you get??

I got the ACT clutch kit part# HC5-HD00
nothing too big or overkill, rated to hold up to 224 lbs torque, and I dont even have 200, so it should be good, so don't every one diss me for not getting some huge racing clutch, my civic isn't a freakin race car!

i had that clutch, i made around 160lbs of torque, and 6 thousand miles later it was burned to hell, full throttle shifts OWN weak clutches, so dont FTS it if you want it to last
