Default big bolt/nut in an accord?

Can a 36mm axle nut socket be substitute with 1 7/16 inch socket?

Yeah I agree. If yours is on there half as tight as mine was your gonna need the right tools. Bring lots of WD-40 and be prepared for a fight.

1-7/16" = 36.5 mm

So it's sorta OK, but really... it's not that hard to find 36mm.

autozone does not sell 3/4 drive. Oh yeah i'm ready for a fight as u can see.

are there bolt/nuts bigger than 36mm in an accord? If so I might just buy a who set of big sockets.
