Ok guys i've searched and cant seem to find a deffinitive answer. im in the process of doing a b16a swap into my 1990 crx si. ok now my problem is my hub on the passenger side keeps locking up completely when i torque my axel nut down. like it wont even budge a little bit. but if i take the nut off and tap the axel in just a hair the hub will spin freely. i used to have the motor in an identical crx and it worked just fine same axels tranny etc... can anyone help me figure out why it locks up when i tighten down the axel nut?

also on a side note how do i post images on this site? i have pictures of it but it just looks like every other crx hub assembly.

 

is there a seal in there? to post pics you go to a host like photobucket.com then theres a link on there to post it here or copy the link to the pic and click the little mountains pic its yellow and this will happen when you click it [IMG][/IMG] copy and paste the link inbetween those to img things. if that makes sence.

 

a seal in where? between the cv joint and the hub assembly? also thanks for the pics info

 

make sure the dust seal is removed

what and where is the dust seal? is it in the hub?

 

btw i never removed any seal from the driver side and its spins just fine.

 

come on anyone? no one else has had this problem?

 

dude take the hub loose and look at the back side where the axle goes in. there is a dust seal. it is a thin piece of metal. pry that out and put the axle back in...done.

 

I was under the impression it was called a dust SHIELD. But seal, shield same butthole.
