hi guys, here's my problem the Axle is not going in!!!! it's the Battery side smaller axle. weird but I can't seem to put it in. also it's a D-series motor. I'm not a complete moron w/ engine swaps + i've had 3 of my friends come on over to check it out, and they can't seem to put it in as well, it goes in BUT not all the way maybe like 2 to 4 mm off, i can't get it to sit flush in there. worse comes to worse i'm gonna have to take out the tranny and figure it from there, but i wanted to ask you guys first.

thanx in advance guys

 

lube it up and put it in as far as you can. hit the other end with a hammer. dont be affrad to hit it hard. it will go in

platinum.

 

same thing happin to me..and then i wacked the **** out of it with a big hammer..and pop..it went right in.

 

Whack it. Make sure the ring clip is on there good.

I usually put a block of wood in front of it, and beat the **** out of it til it pops in..you will get it.

What I ended up doing the last time. 2x4 and a hammer is all I needed.

 

oic, so just pound it in there, I'm not sure but are the axles different from si to non si model? or abs/ non abs physical difference that is, cuz it almost seems like it can't go in all the way, the metal in the tranny is almost in it's way it seems, but i'll give the 2x4 and a hammer a try

 

only difference between ABS and non-ABS is the ribbed metal ring that goes around the outside of the axle. Those ribs get picked up by sensors on your hub assembly. When those sensors detect lack of movement the ABS part of your braking system kicks in and unlocks the wheel giving you that pulsating feeling when you're braking hard.

 

thanks guys, 2x4 here i come

 

god why didnt i read this before i drove 20 miles w/o tranny fluid.

i never used a hammer still, im not sure my axle is even in there, i think im gonna whack it. thanks for the info since im going to do my passenger side axle now

 

What the expletive? Why are you people having to hit your axle with a hammer to get it to go in? Jesus.. That's a bad idea.. I've changed my axles a good 10 times and have never had to hit one of them with a hammer to get it to go back in.. Just get down there and put some elbo grease into it. Grab the axle with your hand behind the inner boot and push it till you get it to go in properly..

Hitting it with a hammer could damage the splines on either side of the axle..

 

I usually us the inner joint as a slide hammer and make sure to not pull back to far.
The shaft acts as a hammer and pushes the inner joint into the tranny.
do you have the old axle?
make sure the part that goes in the tranny is the same lenght as the new one.

 

yea i used my hands to push the axle in, didnt work, so effing stupid me used a screwdriver, went right through the axle boot....learned my lesson.

I would just put some kinda padding after the 2x4,

 

well, thanx honda-tech, but for some reason it didn't want to go in yesterday (and that's after 30 minutes of trying) 10 minutes per guy, i had 3 of my friends help, and for some reason today after another 15 minutes it finally went in, with no hammer.

 

i just swear if there not going my way. and they usually go in.
