Mystery Nut--Anyone Identify?
Can anyone please identify the nut pictured at the following
site? http://home.earthlink.net/~honda.lioness/id16.html It's head is 12 mm across. It has some sort of locking mechanism. It sheared off its stud, presumably due to age and the vibrations that resulted while I was grinding off the lower inboard control arm bolt on the driver's side. Part of the stud appears in the photo. At the end of the day, I found it beneath the cardboard on which I lie to do this work. I will be inspecting the engine compartment to see if I can see a similar one. |

As blurry as this photograph is, it's most likely to remain a mystery, though I'd venture a wild guess at a nylon-self-locking nut. > It's head is 12 mm across.

Re: Mystery Nut--Anyone Identify?
You didn't say what model Honda you have. But it looks like a manifold nut
to me. On my '00 Accord both the intake and exhaust are 12mm.

Looks a bit taller though :-( Tip: On digital cameras that don't have a MACRO or close-up setting, you can hold a magnifying glass or Grandpa's reading glasses in front of the lens, and it works just fine.

Re: Mystery Nut--Anyone Identify?
Beg pardon. It's a 91 Honda Civic. Nasty, thanks for the
suggestion. My Chilton's does indeed show a bunch of exhaust and intake manifold nuts that seem to fit the bill. Majestic's online parts site confirms that the exhaust manifold has nine self-locking nuts. It's also certainly rusted enough that I would expect it to be either in a weather path or on the exhaust system somewhere. I'll take the shroud off tomorrow and confirm. Thank you! Curly, good tip. I know it's a lousy photo. RWM, it's some kind of self-locking nut and so is a little unique looking. I thought someone might recognize it before, ya know, I discover the hard way and my engine falls apart or something on the highway later today.
