Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to remove the axles on a 94-01 Integra? Thanks.

 

It involves a socket set and a BFH (Big Freakin Hammer).

 

It's not too hard to do. You'll have to remove the intermediate shaft on the drive side, there should be 3 big bolts above it that hold it in. You just have to pull like a bitch or use a crowbar to pull them out of the tranny. Make sure you drain the tranny first though. I dont' have my helms manual with me, but just look around to see what else has to be unbolted on the wheel side of the axle, you should be able to figure it out.

 

get a helms, a ball joint separator from Autozone, a BFH, and practice your cursing

 

This is for and 88-91 Civic/90-93 Integra chassis....newer year may be similar.

Remove the axle nuts (32mm socket and impact driver/big breaker bar). . MAKE SURE you do this do, the axle nut will not come off otherwise. Take a hammer and a chisel and un-dimple the axle nut by driving the (chisel/flat blade screw diver) between the nut and the flat part in the end of the axle. Place a crow bar in between the lug nut studs; rotate until the crow bar binds again the ground. This will keep the nub from rotating while you break the axle nut loose…or break your tools, have fun!

~~ Once you’ve removed the axle nuts, you’ll need to be able to move the hub to get the axles out of the differential. Lets face it though do you really want to have to pop ball joints loose like the manual will tell you? NO. Do it this way, it’s MUCH easier.

a) Detach the sway bar from the end-link bushing (12mm nut)

b) Remove the 2(17mm) bolt holding the radius rod to the LCA (lower control arm)

c) Remove the lower shock fork bolt. (14mm)

d) Remove the pivot bolt at the rear of the LCA (12 or 14 mm)

e) Take a rubber mallet or block of wood a knock the axle loose from the hub/spindle.

f) Press in/wiggle the axle as you swing the hub toward the rear of the car


~~ Now that your axle are loose from the spindles slide under the car to the differential Use 2 prying objects (large flat blade screw drivers), place one on either side of the axle, b/t the axle and the housing. Pry firmly until you hear a pop/click or until the axle slides out a bit.
