how do i get the new axles on the passenger side back into the tranny? looks like a lock ring or some sort on the axle.

also how can i seperate this piece (3 bolt shaft piece that goes on the motor) on the driver side from the axle? i tried prying it but can't seem to get a good angle.

Hit the outboard joint with a hammer. Hit it away from the bearing support (the part that is attached to the 3 bolt piece. If you hit it long enough it will separate.

 

i will try that, as for getting the passenger side back in?

 

just shove it in till u hear it click in

 

For the passenger side just wiggle it around untill you hear it clip, there will be a little gap so dont worry...Here is a good link https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=382416

 

^^^good wirte up

but instead of hammering on the axle nut with an impact. or tightening it till its "snug". torque it to proper torque specs 136 ft lbs (maybe 134) i always go to 135. my torque wrench only goes in increments of 5

 

well said in the write up, my ball joint on the driver side will not come out, i posted this question before but i will try beating the lca with a hammer and see how it goes. tried prying, jacking it up and the bitch won't even move.

do not use a pickle fork to separate the balljoint!!!!!!!!!! it WILL ruin the boot

heres a good write up

not sure if its my comp or not, but the pics might be down. the video should still work

video


edit: hmm looks like it was deleted, i think i have it saved on my hard drive somewhere. ill see if i can find it

 

click it

thats a 1/2" ratchet in there

 

video not working, not sure of how this method works.

 

ok the second video worked, where is the ranchet being placed?

 

ok i just watched the video about 10 times and i will try that method. (ratchet just goes between?)

 

ive never tried it. i always have good luck with just smacking the lca with a hammer. sometimes i heat it up with a propane torch. works every time

 

use a "pitman Tie Rod Seperator" its like a fork that grap then there's a middle part that you turn and it'll push the ball joint out. This is better because you wont ruin your ball joint. and for the axles if its to hard get a jack, and jack it up to support the axles so its parralle(SP) to the tranny and use a piece of wood and place it between the axles and your hammer and start tapping it in.

 

just be careful when using this method. it can actually mushroom the threads on a ball joint
