I'm in the middle of my GSR swap, motors in and I'm trying to hook up the driveshafts. The tranny is a hydro Y80 w/ LSD. I got cutom axles from Hasport for this specific application in my 91 SI.

Problem is, the axles seem like they don't want to go in. I push as hard as I can and there's still a gap. I've searched, and the mojority of the answers are just "push it in really hard". I've used a dead blow hammer on the other side to get more leverage, but still no luck. Below is a pic of how the axles looked when they came from Hasport:


Do I have to remove clips? And what are dust seals? Is there something I'm missing? Or do I just need to go Hulk style and keep pushing till they snap in flush?

 

probably gota use more muscle if it goes in a little then its gona fit. dont take off the c clip thats what holds it in. and the dust seals are on the outer part of the axle where it goes to the hub. i took the seals off mine. and those look like abs axles.

 

they do look like abs axles...

is that going to be a problem?

 

the ABS rings wont affect anything, and the dust seals arent a problem on hasport axles.

are you sure you put them in on the correct side??

yeah, I def am putting them on the right sides. I guess I'll just have to use more muscle.

 

try puttin like grease or oil on the axel splines and on thetranny splines and see if that helps

 

yeah try some lithium (white) grease, its soo much easier to take them out later on as well...but yea keep pushing should go in.

 

WHy would you use a hammer??? You want to make sure they seat right.
Always push on the black part. Not the shaft or boots. Does the axle go in and lock in place?? Are you putting grease on the ends before installing it?

Post pics of them installed with that space you speak of
