I was gonna do my clutch, so I took out the big nut on the middle of the hub and then I hammer the axle and it won't pop out, I hammered it good too. I don't get it, on my civic hybrid w/ b18c, it pops out so easy, but on my DC2 Integra it just won't pop on both sides too do u know what could be the problem? Any input would be truly appreciated

 

I assume you are talking about popping it out of the tranny. Sorry, I had a hell of a time too. You just gotta keep trying and eventually it comes out. I also used a prybar too.

 

don't need to pull axels out of hubs to do clutch job.

Oh my god!

 

you did pull out the spindle first right?

 

Thanks in advance for all the help

yes I took out the spindle (I assume the bolt right below the disc brake with a safety pin on it) and Uhmm, what I meant was I couldn't get the axles off the front suspension. I just don't get it, this would be the same procedure as taking out the axles off an civic/b18c1 which I don't have a problem at all.

 

i've had your problem before.... actually, i took my steering knuckle assembly, with the axel in it, to a machine shop. 30 ton press couldn't get the DoEs AnYoNe KnOw WheRe I CaN GeT SoMe StRObE LiTEZ AnD LiGhT uP WiNdShiElD NoZzLeS??er out. dunno. i ended up rebuilding the axle, replacing hub.

I just did my first clutch job this weekend, and as D noted, the axles don't need to come out of the hubs. I just popped them off the tranny (sons of bitches), separated the lca, and then rotated/zip-tied the whole mess kinda out of the way. Hopefully this is an acceptable approach. Hammering on the end of the driveshaft did not look like it was going to produce favorable results. I didn't want to mess the whole farking thing.

 

Hey D, I think Pep Boys now carries those parts you requested info about in the above post
