OK i was doing a USDM integra swap into a civic that already had a JDM GSR swap. When I was removing castle nuts on the hub the one on the right came off pretty easily with some wacks. The driver side took quite few more wacks and i had to pry it off with a ball joint remover or whatever. Once I got it to break loser it was pretty easy to slide off.

Now after the swap I can't get the damn thing to line up with the lower control arm, it seems as if it won't move in. heres a pic, anyone know what i need to do? Maybe I bent something but i really don't think i used that much force?
Here's a pic.. PLEASE HELP.

 

sounds like your axles is not all the way in the hub/tranny.

and if it is make sure the axle didnt pull apart inside the boot..

so how can you tell if they pulled apart, do they easily do this? I have been trying at this for the last 3 hours and its making me go crazy, honestly. Can there be anything else that may be throw it off?? could the mounts cause this to be off, all the mounts are lined up and everything but maybe it is shifted to the left or something? I really don't understand whats wrong, is there anything needed differently if you use a usdm gsr instead of a jdm gsr?? all the mounts and everything are the same...

if the boot looks all twisted and distorted then most likely you pulled it out of position..if so just mess with it a lil bit, you have to manipulate the axle back together..could get tricky sometimes with oem axles since the bearings are built differently

It is that most likely. Its a little hard to get it in, but you'll get it. Have nice time wit it.
