I am doing a GSR brake swap on my 97 civic h/b, using brakes off a 2000 GSR I believe...the rear's fit fine, but the front's, I cannot get the axle to go in...axle fits fine in the old one, but it seems to have a differant # of teeth?!? thats what it feels like to me, I have a D series in my civic, a y7...and cannot get them in for the life of me

is there something I need to do? will it not work with my D?

 

hmm not sure did you count the teeth?

 

nope, but that must be it, I thought I was doing something wrong, but I swapped knuckles again and my old ones, the axles just slipped in like nothing

I even tried cleaning it with wd-40 and a brush, to get any dirt out...and nothing...I've tried kicking it...hard, several times, it gets to where the 'tip' is barely pokign and refuses to go more, it has to be it

 

yea i bet it is count em and tell us

I will in the AM, any other ideas? do they have to be B series axles maybe?

 

b series axles wont fit in d series tranny numb nuts

 

I know, I mean in the sense that I need a B series motor, public hair sun chips pepsi bottle idiot

 

hahaha yea get a motor swap just so your new brakes will work. haha

Wait, are you trying to fit the gsr knuckles onto the y7 axles? Or are you trying to fit gsr axles into a y7 tranny?

I thought you were talking about swapping out your old knuckles for the new gsr ones for the brake upgrade.......... if you are, then ^^^^^ this guy is a no talent *** clown.

PS: Gsr knuckles should fit d-series axles, never heard of anyone having a problem with that.

 

are the auto axles diff then the 5speeds? cause I think these brakes came off an auto GSR

nono I am trying to fit GSR brakes on my 97 civic H/B with a d16y7 engine, I am just saying is it impossible...and do they need a B series...not saing I am gonna get one, just wondering

 

no man I am just saying...would I need a B series motor

 

b series axles fit in your gsr rotors and don't fit into your single cam trans. So your gonna have to get a nice gsr swap to go with your new front brakes. sorry.

 

VERIFIED. Your axle may be nicked or stuck, but the Integra axle end and civic Axle end are the same. MEANING, if you put a Integra HUB on a civic knuckle, or both the integra hub/bearing/knuckle on a civic, the axle WILL fit. so.....force it?

I can't get it on, and I've tried REAL hard

gonna swap hubs on monday, and hopefully that does the trick

 

your hub must be messed up because a friend way back in the day had 5 lug on his hatch and he stil had a sohc and it worked ! i dunno what to tell ya man !

 

Integra (minus itr) knuckle's hubs are the same as civics.
Check your integra hubs for damaged splines if your axle's splines are ok.

 

they are ok, I am sure of it...both sides don't fit...they are not the same size

I am gonna swap hubs on monday

yeah what he said...

 

let us know if it was the hubs if you get it figured out

 

here's what I ended up doing
I examined them both and htey look identical, so I scrathced my head some more and tried to figure it out...well

I had a spare d axle hanging around, I ripped it apart and tried to get it to fit...it would go a bit, but not much...so I actaully had to hammer it inside the knuckle...and oddly enough it worked..hammered the fawk out of it...then hammered it out, did that a few times, it got stretched good enough for me to fit my big greased up axle inside

so maral of the story...sometimes, it's good to hammer the living **** out of ****

 

second.

 

lol, you had to grease up your big rod so that it would fit in the tiny hole...sounds like what i did to my ex...

 

werd

sounds like what I did to your ex too

 

damn is that why that **** was all tore up when i got to it. Thanks a lot guys. :?
