My dx needs new, quieter front driver's side wheel bearing. First I need to remove 32 mm nut holding assembly. Having trouble removing this nut even clearing key way. Is nut right or left thread? Any other suggestions for replacing bearing?

An impact should take the nut off, its normal thread so left to get it off. If it doesnt come lose with the impact you will have to add some heat to it. From a pic i looked up, it looks like its a press in style bearing. Umm if you dont have a press you will have to bring it somewhere to get it pressed in and out. Youd bring them the whole knuckle.

Sweet, let us know how it goes, the last time I did the CV is my prot, I had to use the torch and cut the bolt off, just wouldnt come lose, even with a 1" impact gun.
