I;ve tried the BFH and it wont come out of the half shaft. god i hate female axles lol. sucks im riding the car with the bad axle since its my daily.

Your picture doesn't show a female anything. Notice the splined part that goes into the transmission? Now look in your pants. Looks kinda like a dick, doesn't it? That makes it male, not female.

I'm not sure what the hell you were doing to get the old axle out, but it was wrong and you should be drowned like deformed puppies for doing it. Removing an axle is simple - put a small prybar between the inner axle end and the transmission casing and give it a sharp strike with a rubber mallet. The whole thing pops out and you can go about your business.

It looks like you just ****ing pulled on it until it came apart or did something else equally stupid.

Pop the stub out of the transmission and get on with life.

if the housing is still stuck in the half shaft then use a punch or chisel and hit it with a hammer on the housing it should pop out of the half shaft.

that is not my picture. it is just to show what is stuck in there. the axle actually broke inside and the boot just came off and the axle fell out on its own. if you have experience with honda's you will know what i am talking about THE DRIVERS SIDE AXLE IS A FEMALE. NOT A MALE. and that is the axle i am having a problem with. it connects to the half shaft.not transmission.

^^^that is the b16 drivers side axle. female. d series have a long driver side axle that goes directly to the transmission.therefore both are male.

This thread is full of lulz

WeakSauce92

well gee.. Why do they make it like that?? and is that all b series?

92 CiviC H.B

I have no idea. ask honda motor company lol. but no its not all b series. DA's,DC's have female half shafts and both male axles. I might just take the half shaft out and replace it with a female one and put a DA or DC male axle.

close thread. took off complete half shaft today and replaced my axle.
