So I'm doing a B-series swap into a '90 Civic DX hatchback. The motor is in, and I'm using a 90-93 Integra intermediate shaft with 90-93 Integra non-ABS axles. The problem is, although they fit the intermediate shaft, the splines are too big for the hubs! I have seen over a dozen write-ups all telling you to use these axles and they don't fit. WTF?!?!?!?

So, now I have DA axles that don't fit and I have to figure out what to do. Can I use the outer cups from a stock Civic axle and use them on the DA axles? Can I use wheel bearings from a '91 Si (and will they fit in the DX)?

You've got HF or STD hubs. DX and Si will both take a B-series axle. Seeing as how you need to swap hubs anyway you might want to look into a set of '90 - '91 EX sedan knuckles, calipers and rotors for bigger front brakes.

it doesn't make much sense... i got this car totally stock from a school teacher (original owner). i couldn't see her changing spindles. did some dx models come with smaller spindles?

are u sure your car is a dx and not an std did your stock transmission have 4 or 5 forward gears.

i already figured it out. it was a 4-speed with A/C but it had to have been dealer installed. it has to be the std model

std models came with smaller hubs you have to get the larger si hub and then the axles will fit.
