I've been searching, I may be typing in the wrong thing but I can't find it. :P
So both of my inner boots split. My motor mounts are gone which I'm replacing, which leads me to the reason the cv's split..
Perfect timing eh? Blew my head gasket on my Eclipse. :P

I don't have a bunch of tools so I'll more than likely need to pick up a socket. Does anyone off the top of their head know how big the axle nut is?

From memory, 32mm

32mm will fit, but its a bit sloppy, 1 1/4 fits perfect, but if the cvs have already been replaced once before with after market, then go 32mm. so if I was you, get both

32 mm, definitely. Needs a breaker bar, they will be tight.
Don't over tighten new ones, otherwise it will stress the wheel bearings.

Alright, thank ya! Wouldnt happen to have the torque specs do ya? Almost everything's impossible to find here in the states for these cars. Except eBay.

I'd love a grandpa wing (rear solar visor?) and a strut brace, yeah good luck with those haha.
Even the motor mounts are gonna be 250 for all of them.
One said 3 total including tranny mount, the other said 4. But I'm sure I could find that with a search.

*edit*
Found that theres only 3, and that 250 honestly isnt that bad for them. Haha, well thanks again guys!

The torque for the axle nut is 200 - 260Nm.

You might need a conversion chart for ft/lbs.

Dang that's quite a bit, haha.
That's about 150-190 ft/lbs. (Mostly wrote that just to keep a note for myself and any other international members that may need that info :).
Perfect thank you again!

With a bit of maths, you can work out where you need to stand with your full body weight on a horizontal breaker bar when you do them up again.
Even though the torque required is 200 - 260 Nm it is actually easy to over tighten them.

Maths example:
I have a 30 cm 32 mm ring spanner on that nut, positioned horizontally.
If I stand on the end with all my weight (100 Kg) I exert a torque of:

100 Kg X 9.8 X .3 = 294 Nm.

So don't go standing on the end of a 1m long breaker bar and hope it is enough! It will be way too much. lol

(After doing it this way a few times, I bought a torque wrench which goes to 200 Nm. Max that out, then ring spanner to do a bit more to line up the split pin holes.)

A torque wrench is the only way to go.
That extra 60Nm of range is just so you can line up the castellations with the axle holes.

As per a previous post, I have a TR that had the nut rattled on by some butcher and as a consequence, the damn bearing is noisy.
What a waste of time and money.

Hah! I can better that! I had a TP that sheared off the threaded end from the driver's side drive shaft when I went to undo the nut to pull the shafts to do the boots. Obvious stretch signs in the threads where the nut sheared off. Some people . . . .

On my eclipse when me and my buddy did my axles, one side was so tough we literally made the pin holes disappear from trying to hit it out fat mushroom top on it haha.. I know this won't be the case with my Diamante, hopefully!
