Default how to change driver side axle 96 Integra

Here is a little step by step i put together on ( how to change the driver side axle shaft on a 1996 Integra GS-R) should be the same for GS/RS/LS models as well. I know for some this is easy to do, but others this might be a helpfull.
Thanks Enjoy.

Yep when I had my house built, I made sure I had my shop/garage factored in. hahaha. The wife gave me the thumbs up on it. As much as I mess around with cars I needed a lift and 20ft ceilings.

Good write up, but you didn't tell the torque spec for the axle nut.

Torque spec for axel nut= tighten it with the impact, then hit it once or twice more. If your really want to be exact then torque it. I did learn what the torque spec for an axel nut is though so to you for the info.

Should the new axle just slide right down into the half-shaft? I got a new one and I lined it up but it won't go down. I pushed it pretty good but it always comes out easy, it never grabs and slots down. Wondering if I have the wrong axle for my Teg.

Just heard it might be the c-clip interfering. Will try again tomorrow.

I've always been told that when you tighten any bolt going thru a bushing, like the lca bolts, you should have the weight of the car on the suspension first so the bushing is prpoerly clocked. If you don't it may cause the bushing to fail faster. Great writeup otherwise.
