putting in an obx lsd to my b16 tranny. just wonder if i can use the stock bearing on the stock diff. or will it not fit? was planning to press out the bearing and put it on the obx.

 

you can..if you can get them off without breaking them..

 

which i cant, lol

 

its good to buy new ones anyways...you dont want one to go bad and make the diff wobble....if so oyu can say bye to your final drive and counter shaft....


make sure you measure the clearence with the case and use the proper shim if needed....

dont forget the final drive bolts are reverse thread and put on the speedo gear!!

 

will it be better to replace the tapered roller bearing
with the ball bearing? i have not open my del sol b16 yet, but does it come with tapered roller bearing or ball bearing?? if i replace the bearing with ball bearing will it still fit the tranny housing? what is a speedo gear?

gsrs are the only ones that have tapered roller bearings ... replace it with new factory bearings of the same kind....


you need to measure the bearing to case clearence and theres a speedo gear on the old diff that will need to be put on the lsd

 

so the b16 tranny already have ball bearing on them? what bearing to i use for my lsd? do i use the same type of factoy bearing that come with the stock diff.?

 

Hey let me know how the lsd is once you get it in.

 

is anyone have trouble getting there axles out anymore? i want to but one for my hatch cause 99hybrid_hatch has had his for a long time.is it still working good for you?

 

i got new bearings for mine. i would get them even if you can pry the old ones off.

platinum.

no, that problem was fixed.... obx forgot to bevel on side of the diff, thats why axles were getting stuck.
the new gen2's or wahtever have both sides beveled to get rid of the sticking problem

my obx diff has both sides beveled

 

sweet i guess ill be buying one soon then

 

good info. what else was fixed on the v2. im assuming i have v2 since my axles dont get stuck?

platinum.</TD></TR></TABLE>yea, i actually managed to pull mine apart by hand

the biggest bitch is going to be getting the final drive off of my old stock diff because i dont have a vice

 

can someone give me a parts #'s for bearings? obx lsd will be going into a b16 delso tranny.

 

i can call tomorrow and get you prices... BTW i get honda parts pretty cheap

 

what bearing do i need to used?

 

the ones that fit on the diff... whatever it came with stock, which im assuming are the taper roller bearings

i believe only gsrs have tapered roller bearings... the b16 and Ls use ball bearings similar to the itr and 2001 gsr but smaller

 

in one of the post above, someone said that only gsr came with taper roller bearing. so i would assume that b16 come with ball bearing??

 

heh, thats right... i should know becuase i have a b16 tranny downstairs lol

 

yeah my diff is still kicking ***!!

I will post pics of what I did to a final drive to show Iam not babying this sucka..

 

hey wantboost, let me know on the price of those bearing if u can, thanks

 

smooth as a babies ***? lol

i will, asap
