Some of the readers here may have experienced the same thing…


For some reason, once I started working on a specific part on one NSX, then the trend seems to follow for the following cars waiting to be serviced.


For a while, I was overhauling lots of brake callipers on many NSX for a few months.


Then, the trend changed to the timing belt service and now back to the drive shaft.



When the owner brought this NSX, it was raining but I put the car on the lift as soon as the owner left my place and applied the penetrating oil on suspension areas, spindle nut, crank pulley bolt, etc while the area was still warm.


Left it overnight….

As mentioned in my previous post, this NSX is still at very low mileage and it has been looked after very well.



Most of the bolts and nuts came off without any trouble and both drive shafts were removed.

On initial inspection, the trigger teeth on the Right drive shaft were just about OK level but lots of corrosion was observed.


Will try to remove them as much as possible and apply thin coat of silicone spray.



The RR wheel speed sensor was also showing sign of scratches due to the corrosion and debris at the trigger teeth but still OK level.
