i recently got an axle from when i bought my motor and the nut size is different. the axle goes into the trans and hub fine its just that when i try to put my old nut (32 mm) its too big. I didnt know that different axles have different sizes. where would i get this size nut or do i just have the wrong axle (yet still fits into my car perfectly)?

 

Sounds like you may have the wrong axle or you aern't seating the axle nut correctly or something. The only "Civic" axles that are a different size are the JDM ITR 36mm units. Everything else is 32mm.

 

but the axle threaded part is too small....not too large. so wouldnt my nut need to be smaller?

 

hmm..seems to me that you have the wrong axle, but all b series axles are interchangeable..hmmm

edit: looking at your username, you do not have a b series. my bad.

 

oh yeah....sorry swapped in a d16z6. and axles are different.....arent ALL D series axles interchangeable? oh yeah....i'm for sure its a non abs model too.

 

so everything fits in perfectly, except for the nut?

When the axle is in the hub, do the little teeth thing line up right? or is the axle kind of loose in there?

Just playin bro. No the D15B still has the same 32mm axel nuts. There isn't any play at all between the splines on the axel and the ones on the hub? This is very strange...

 

i'll take pics right now.....brb

 

okay upon further inspection.....the axle on the side that doesnt fit is a little bit shorter. its weird though because it fits the hub totally perfect. just a little short coming out of the hub. now a new question.....can someone tell me what axle this is?
