In another question about drum brakes the answer stated you need to spike the new axle spindle nut How do you spike the nut Also how tight does the nut need to be?

The nut has a raised collar which can be deformed so that it acts like a loacknut. I usually use a hammer and drift punch. As to how tight, assuming you cleaned and regreased the outer bearing, I tighten the nut while spinning the drum until the drum stops rotating, then back off 1/4 to 1/2 turn, ensuring that the drum spins freely, but has no play (grab the drum both sides and rock it back and forth; if there is no free play then the nut is adjusted correctly) Cheers Malcolm

How to remove a rear disk drum on a 1999 Honda Civic XL?

Rear Drum Brake Removal / 99 Honda Civic LXRemoving the drum on an LX is totally different from the SE. An axle nut holds the drum on. To remove this nut, get a flat head screwdriver and a hammer. Pry off the gold hubcover in the the center of the lugstuds. This will reveal a gold axle nut. Use the flat head screwdriver to remove the crimp on the nut so you can turn it. The nut is very large so be prepared with an 1" to an 1" 1/2 socket for removal. Once it's removed, it's smooth sailing.
