i had to make 3 trips to sears last week for that thing....my ACURA shop book has a typo and says 22, so i sent my friend for a 22 mm not even thinking about it...be prepared to buy a 1/2 inch breaker bar if you dont have one because i dont think a socket that big comes in 3/8.

the axle nuts were loose recently, so i hope they come off easily. if not, i'll just have to tow the car to my friends house which is where i changed axles the last time.

thanks for all the replies guys.

A cotter pin is an actual pin that goes through a hole. But there is no hole or pin. Just a notched area on the axle into which you pound the outer wall of the nut itself.

why would you pound your axle? remove one 14mm and one 17mm, pull the spindle out and the outer axle falls out.. no pounding.
