Installing Axles
sup peeps. well on my 91 accord my axles are going bad. has anyone ever changed their axles? i have a haynes manual, but it's at home (i'm in a dorm) so can anyone tell me how hard it would be to install axles and what special tools i might need. and where can i get axles for both sides? how much would it cost also? and just to let you know i've done searches and came up with nothing. thanks!!!

Hi there. I ordered axles for my ’92 Accord hybrid (Prelude VTEC motor) from you last December. You recommended and sent a driver’s side axle from a ‘90~’93 Accord and a passenger side axle from a ‘93~’96 Prelude VTEC. The Prelude axle worked fine, but the Accord axle did not, it didn’t even have the right connection on the transmission side, so this axle is totally unused. Is it too late for me to return this axle and get a Prelude axle? I had totally forgotten about this predicament until I cleaned out my tool closet this weekend.
No sweat!

Re: Installing Axles (D21X)
Dave,
I think this has been a mix-up from the git-go.
My records say that you installed a Prelude h22a with the Prelude intermediate shaft.
You must have kept your old Accord Intermediate.
Then i assumed(uh oh ), this was a performance setup with the ABS disabled.
The HD.STRONGER outer joints are basically non abs units.

Oh, one more thing, my ABS has ceased to function (ABS code says front right ABS sensor, where the Raxle is) because the Raxle does not have an ABS sensor ring on it. Can you provide such a sensor ring to place around the end of the axle? Also, will the Prelude VTEC axle you swap have an ABS sensor ring on it?
Thanks again.

The Raxle bill came to $428 for two axles and shipping.

Re: Installing Axles (4doorH22)
That's funny Dave, I have accord axles on both sides of my car. I'm also using the accord intermediate shaft. From what I understand, the accord intermediate shaft has a female socket on the axle side and the prelude is male.
David,

Well, there was a slight mixup, but the Raxle axle is awsome. They are much beefier than stock. I can't wait to get both of them on!

Re: Installing Axles (weekendracer)
Whoa. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if I've pulled the driver's side axle to take a look at the connection. The Accord and Prelude both have a male end on the intermediate shaft, so the axle should have a female end. I am going to pull that axle...
