Just as the topic says.

I am wondering what axles to use for a 6th gen accord to install an h22.

Would I just use the stock f series stuff.

Also does anyone have a factory manual for the 6th gen accord.

I have been searching. I just can't seem to find this information.

 

on the driver side you need a mixture of the H series and the F series, put the F on the wheel side and the H on the tranny side, you'll have to take the CV boot off of the F series axle on the side that connects to the intermidiate, take that side off and put the H CV in it's place, you might have to swap some of the internal parts around for a proper fit. buy one of those tie straps, put it back together, clean it up and the driver side is good to go.

The passenger side axle is going to be an F series axle.

Edit: Make sure you pack that CV boot with that axle grease the way you found it (if it's brand new) if it's used, I would suggest REPACKING the grease with some new stuff, especially if the grease looks a little light colored.

You shouldn't have to remove the CV boot completly, just where it connects to the tranny side, the axle itself can stay on, you'll just have to push the boot back to work on it.

also, intermediate is H I believe, that I'm not 100% on, I didn't do that portion of the swap.

just thought about it, the intermediate has to be H because the cavity is reversed for the F vs the H, and you have to rebuild that axle because the intermediate is an H.

Not sure why I didn't think of that before.

 

if I used an f series intermediate shaft would it just be stock parts then? I assume this because using a stock passengers side axle means the motor is in the same placement as the f.

I know when you do an h in a 5th gen you just use stock f axles and intermediate.

Can you show me where you got this information from? or point me in the direction.

I am not doubting you because I can see you have a 6th gen with an h22. If I had that car I would have a j series.

I am actually planning a j in my prelude. (never been done)

 

you can try it and see what happens, I would suggest measuring the length of both intermediates and the length of the axles, I believe the intermediate on the F is different then the H for that gen.

best bet is to measure.

the info I gave is how my swap is set up right now, of course if you get it to work the other way I'll be smacking my mechanic that helped me on the back of the head.

One thing I can tell you is that using a stock prelude axle on the driver side = thrown bearings and lot of axle grease.

 

yeah I think if you use the stock f series intermediate you can use the stock f axle. I defiantly could be wrong though.

I am actually trying to figure out what axles I should be using for the j series in a lude.

Basically I need to find out the difference in length between the axles used for the H in a 99 accord and the H in a lude. So the driver is going to be fine because I will just check the difference between the h and the f.

now the diver is going to be more difficult if what you are telling is true hopefully the F series axles will work with the f series intermediate. But There is no way for me to know.
