I am swapping trannys on my 1997 Acura 1.6 EL Manual Transmission. The following pictures are from my service manual.

The first and second picture show these "Special Bolts." I went to the dealership and the guy could not find a part number for these things. What have you guys done in the past for these bolts? Can they be reused (safely?) or are they a strongly recommended thing to replace?

And the third picture shows the spindle nut being 22mm. I have been reading on the website here that civics have a 32mm spindle nut??? The dealership located the part number and confirmed it was 22mm. I am just confused/curious about this one.

And I asked before, but any pointers and little tricks to make the tranny swap easier are greatly appreciated.

 

bump???

 

They are reusable. They just take a lot of abuse from holding up the transmission.

 

I haven't had a problem re-using those bolts, ther're pretty beefy.

The hub nut is without a doubt 32mm.

 

I am an idiot, it is a 22mm thread, 32mm socket to get it out.
