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.
