Default axle problem

I know this thread has been started before. I searched for a little, but to no avail. I apologize in advance, I'm a little impatient.

I have a '90 civic dx with a b18c swap. I'm still running the factory GSR intermediate shaft. I ordered some axles from HAsport a long time ago, but they won't fit through the hubs. I'm thinking that possibly the axles they sent me were for a ABS configuration.

I also have a DA intermediate shaft, but no DA seals.. I suppose that I could get DA axles, but I know it's going to be a bitch to change it without pulling the motor. I'm trying to avoid removing the GSR intermediate shaft for that very reason.

Assuming that hasport doesn't allow me to return these axles.. ( I ordered them around six months ago) .. what axles will work with the GSR int. shaft?

One thing that I thought of today.. Is there a bigger hub that the axles would fit through that I could use?

are you sure they sent you the right axles? count the splines make sure the count is correct.
short story--i was at the track one day an snapped a axle an a buddy loaned me an extra that was from a GSR, it popped right in an i went out for another run. i was using 94 LS hubs.

Does anyone know the diameter of the holes in the STD model compared to the DX model?

And, I will check the splines first thing in the morning.

Thanks for the help, guys

the std and hf models have smaller hubs so no other axles will fit in them. you need any other ef hubs or ones from a DA for the axles to fit

So is your car running with Integra axle at the moment? If not, like what everyone mention, you have the STD hatch with smaller hub.
