Default Replacing drive axles

G'day to all,

I am having to replace my drive axles on my '91 Civic DX, auto trans. I have read the excellent tutorial on how to do this, on this forum. However, I need help in identifying the number of splines so I can order the proper replacements. Some are listed as 23 splines and some as 26 splines. The car broke down 75 miles from where I live, and I have no way to determine the number of splines from where I am. I plan on replacing both axles. Is there a way to properly identify the number of splines without removing the old axles and counting the splines?

Any help, is greatly appreciated.
