A/C clutch nut replacement and size
Does anyone now what size/thread the nut is on the A/C compressor clutch?
Is this a special locking nut that needs to be replaced every time you take the clutch plate off, or can it be re-used (e.g. with blue loctite).
What is the required torque spec for this nut? Edit: I did find the torque spec in the shop manual. It is 13 lbf-ft
I searched for it on various Honda parts sites, but no luck finding a part number or any size information. Shop manual also doesn't show anything.
Edit: I did find that a 14mm socket will fit over the nut, but need to find a replacement nut of proper size (M10 maybe?) and thread-pitch (??). Please help.
Edit 7/21/2024: I searched for M10 nuts with a 14mm diameter and it appears that these are only available in JIS drive. This is what I found on Amazon:
However, the nut in this image appears to have a nylon insert at the top:

Anyone know the Honda part number for just the nut?
This is for a 2000 Honda Civic EX with Sanden compressor.
20240914: Updated: Nut is M8-1.25 with 14mm head size. It is a re-useable nut that has a spring clip at the top of the nut. No need to buy a new one if you still have yours.
Thx
