In my DX hatch Ive got a obdo b16a. My clutch is gone and I bought a new one today.

Ive pulled motors before only d16's and ive never tried to pull a tranny alone.

Ive never seen axles like are on my car, I guess they call them 1/2 shafts or something? How are they removed? What is necessary to come out?

Easiest quieckest way of doing this alone? Have to do it in my driveway without a tranny jack or anything

Id love any walkthrough help or suggestions

Thanks guys

There's a walkthrough on here somewhere, but I think it's for the D series. The B-series motors use equal length halfshafts to avoid torque steer, so you have two axles and then an intermediate shaft as well. The passenger's side halfshaft mounts directly into the transmission, the driver's side mounts into the intermediate shaft which has a bearing bolted to the block and is mounted into the other side of the transmission.

Removal is pretty easy. Wheels off, remove axle nut, seperate lower ball joint, remove damper fork from lower arm, pry passenger's axle out of transmission, pry driver's axle out of intermediate shaft, but don't remove the intermediate shaft from trans. Installation is reverse.

 

So after I get both axles off, I should unbolt the internediate shaft from the block?

He's illiterate?

 

I guess the starter and shift linkage gotta come off to right? I just used a full can of penetrating lube on some of the suspension and main bigger bolts, hopefully there nice and freed up by the morning

Any specialty tools needed? I think I need some 12 points dont i?
