Hi there,
95 civic SI (canadian) 2-door coupe, manual trannie, no ABS. 150000kms.
Driveshafts are toast, since the guy drove around forever with busted boots. what a bozo.
Anyways, normally when I remove driveshafts, I don't have to worry about removing the damper fork. The reason for this is that usually I install the drive shaft in 2 pieces, and reassemble once I have inserted it through the damper fork. The inboard joint is too big to fit.
Anyways in the shop manual (Honda), it says that there is a 'self locking nut' M12x1.25.
Where is a good place to source a nut like this? Since if its 'self locking' I am assuming that means Nylon Locking, meaning that the nut will be toast once I remove it.
Any ideas? I am in Canada (winnipeg), and I have had problems sourcing metric nylon lock nuts in the past. I have seen a number of places on the net, but I think it would be better just to get one locally if possible.
