Once again, time to work on the drive shaft. Although both spindle nut were very tight, managed to remove them by soaking them in the penetrating oil over night. However, at least the right side one looked to be never removed from the hub in the past. It is super tight and won’t move at all even using the hydraulic puller. I think I need to ...
While finishing the other NSX, started to work on another one. This one is the very early model so I knew I’m going to have fun with lots of rusty/seized bolts and nuts. I’ll be carrying out another TB/WP/Valve service, cooling system, Driveshaft, Brake OH and so on.

I was planning to return this NSX to the owner this Sunday and I wanted to take off both drive shaft and even paint them by the end of last night. So, started to disassemble the suspension area. I always use torque wrench to loosen the bolt at the toe control arm where it connects to the rear cross beam. I learnt this from my master when working on the NSX kept close to the seacoast in Japan. ...
