preface - i'm swaping axles on my 94 VX hatch.

The pics in the axle swaping guide appear to not be working and i'm having some issues getting the axle out of the transaxle. It sounds like its really in there, like a circlip or something. From what i've read though, they should just slide out.

Anyone have any tips?

 

There's a clip that kinda hold things in place.
Put a big flat head screwdriver or a small pry bar between the tranny casing and the axle. Should pop right out.

 

What he said above. Ive done several axles on hondas. You should have no problem if you pry in that location. Let us know how it goes.

 

bigger pry bar!

fixed it

Any tricks for getting the new shaft in??

 

Should just pop in with some pressure. But if it doesn't use a 2x4 or a rubber mallet and beat the end of it to get it to go.

 

clean the part that goes in as well as inside the differential(however the funk you spell that) then spray it down real good with wd40...should slide right in with a little wigglin'
