Spindle Nut size wrong in book
I have a 1995 Honda Accord.
I was recently looking at the book on my car's parts measurements and it says multiple times that the Spindle Nut is 24mm x 1.5mm. But when I measured it with a ruler, it was 38mm. Why the discrepancy? |
You measured the outside of the nut
The numbers in the book are for the thread size -- ie the inside open area of the nut. 12mm is the width, 1.5 is the thread pitch |
Oh. Why would they give the inner dimensions of the part in a how-to guide to disassemble the wheel assembly?
Interesting. Thanks for the reply though. |

No. Actually I was trying to buy the socket so that i could remove the nut. Funny thing. When I went to the store to get the socket I kept asking for 24mm. But it was clearly too small. I sat there and looked hard at the 24mm socket I was holding and I knew that that was to small. but then I began second guessing. But I figured I'd go and stick a ruler against is and measure it.
No big deal. I'll just but the socket tomorrow. |
on my 97 I needed a 36 mm socket to take that nut off

Apparently, when I measured it with this triangle ruler, every side had a different measurement. I was positive that they were mm but apparently were not. I feel kind of stupid. But I found a standard MM ruler and discovered that it was indeed 36mm.
