i need to take my motor out, again, to change my transmission, is there possibly a way to putt it and not have to totally take the axles out of the hubs???

also where on the intermediate shaft if it marked what kind it is, i need it to be y1 and im not sure if it is just before i go out in this bitter cold would like to get an idea of where im lookin. and if you have a y1 intermediate shaft for sale pm me please...

 

disconnecting the lower and upper balljoint, might give you enough clearence to remove the axles without having to pull them from the hubs. but it would be more work, just go buy a socket and loosen that axle nut. or take it to a shop so they can loosen it for you.

 

well i have the socket just didnt know if there would be an easier way to do it maybe save a little time and what not...

 

remove the castenut and seperate the lower ball joint,then swing the hub assembly out while prying (not pulling) the axles out the tranny,now the axles are just hanging,swing the hub back around and put the ball joint back on and tighten the castenut .

lower balljoint ,,axle nut . both are bitches so either way you're going to be cursing

 

ya guess i was just hoping there was a secret out there that made it a little easier, i guess we will see what way i want to do it when the day arrives. haha thanks though.


anyone have any insight on where on the intermediate shaft is it marked?? or how to identidy it?

can you measure your driverside axle? if it has a 90-93 integra halfshaft the driverside axle should be around ~23 inches..if its not close to that you have the sir1 halfshaft..

i get confused by this y1,ys1,j1 bullshit...so do you want the 90-93 integra setup or civic/crx sir1 setup on your car?

 

i actually have the hasport axles which i know are an inch and a half longer then the 90-93 integra axles i believe is what i measured when i changed them out

 

you have the Y1 (sir1) halfshaft.

is there something wrong with your halfshaft?

 

well actually im not sure what my intermediate shaft is i need to check on what it is but where on i does is it labeled???

 

get this and you won't regret it...

1/2" electric impact wrench - $50.00

i got mine like a year and a half ago for about the same price and it's been shearing hub bolts off like none other.

most motor parts stores will rent you the 32mm socket for only the price of a completely refundable deposit.
