Bend the nut back out.
87 4dr LX "It was FREE"
91 CRX Si it was only $500 hehe
gonna have to raise the tab, might try using a chisel to beat it up out of the groove
or you can use impact wrench.

You are supposed to do bend the hubnut in with a flathead and a hammer so it does not come off over time. That is a non reusable part. Mine was frozen in place. The dealship mechanic hooked me up, he had to use an assetling torch and an impact wrench to get that bitch off. You can try putting a pipe over the end of the wrench. I managed to break four craftsmen 1/2 drive wrenches that way. It worked on the other side though.

According to the Honda Factory manual they should be replaced. I usually follow what the manufacturer reccomends.Originally posted by NXRacer
