This was the nut I had siezed onto my LCA to Trailing arm bolt. Since I cant find this nut online what size or what other Honda nut will fit.

PS no ace hardware here.

 

Try looking through Majestic Honda's online catalog. Identify the bolt size and thread pitch. I'm wanting to say M12x1.25? Maybe M10. Go to auto store and get replacements.

Or just take one of those bolts to the auto store, size it, and by replacements. Pick up some anti-seize when you go.

well thats the bolt at least any old nut that fits will do

 

The nuts that hold the front shocks to the frame (ie., the shock tower) are a perfect fit. And the cost is pretty much free at any old junkyard.

PS. I thought those were a weldnut on your trailing arm?

 

There is. I had to hack mine off when the bolt seized in it.

 

There is a weld nut on the outside and on the inside is this nut that threads onto the screw

 

Wait, so there is a weld nut AND that thing? That makes no sense to me. I can't figure out its purpose.

 

Puzzling. Maybe it was used as a spacer?

 

OP, is the weld nut on the TA still intact? Have the LCAs / TAs ever been serviced before?

 

On the driver side of the car the Traling arm had no welded nut so I cut the bolt. Now on my passenger side there is a welded but that I probably have to drill the bolt out of now since the head broke off Dont know what the previous owners did before. There is not enough room to fit an angle grinder into the space to shave the weld nut off! How good are Dremels for shaving down things that thick?

 

You will be there for a long time using a Dremel or even a drill.

 

Time I have, there is no room for an angle grinder of even the smallest size, and the small bits I need to extract the bolt are not long enough to reach it so Dremel seems to be my only choice. The splash guard is in the way of most tools.

 

The bolt is frozen in the welded nut. I had to knock that welded nut off to get the bolt out. I used one of these, a drill and a reciprocating saw to do it.

 

The welded nut also needs to be shaved smoothly down to the trailing arm so that my new bolt can get through and fit snuggly and be fitted with a washer and a nut, thats another reason I was gonna go with a Dremel.

 

That's what I had to do.

 

That is an interesting tool but it seems it would be a one time use. My plan of action was a cutting wheel to get as close to the arm as possible and then sand the rest down with a bit. I've never used a dremel so I dont know what it can and cant do but it seems like it would be able to complete this task just some time. If there was room I would hack saw it.

 

One time use? Hardly. I used it just the other day with the same metal blade I used on the welded nut. I don't have the money to waste on one use tools.

You won't get a hacksaw or a grinder in there. Doubtful you will get a regular Dremel in there either. Get a reciprocating saw with a few metal blades. Then use the Dremel tool on any bolts bit stuck to the surface if you feel needed it. That was my plan of attack and it worked out just fine.

 

Would I need to use a reciprocating saw with the Oscillating tool as well or not? It can fit a sander bit in there?

 

I used the saw to cut the bulk of the nut/bolt off. I then used the Dremel Multimax to cut the rest of the bits off to be flush so I could use a nut and lock washer. Never used a sander.
