""We will start with the Bottom intermediate shaft first, because it is the most common. It comes on most of the B16As and and all US 90-93 Integras. 95% of the time, the proper axle for this is the 90-93 Integra axles. For a good fit, the axles and car will have to be modified by removing the spacer in the hub and removing the dust seal on the outer joint. See the illustrations below.""

i am just having trouble seeing what they are talking about in this picture...
how do i get the dust seal off?


does this metal band need to come off? how do i do that? and if i do can i get it back on?

thanks guys....

 

From that pic it looks like its already gone. It sits right on that first lip of the hub if you go from the nut to the shaft.

what u are pointing at with the screw driver is the axel boot clip.. if u take that off the axel boot comes off
The dust seal is on the actualy hub it self. its a round disk that just pull off

 

i thought the spacer was in the hub and the dust seal was on the axle? maybe my axle didn't come with one?

 

bump cuz i don't get it, and i'd like to

 

Well, it's quite simple. The dust seal is on the inside of the hub, it goes around where the axle comes through. Simply take a screwdriver and jam it under. It should pop out. At least it did on my DX hub.

 

the dust seal is on the knuckle, it will pry right off.

see the axle nut, follow with your finger to the splines , now to where the splines meet the hub where it gets big, there is usually a grove there where a rubber axle seal sits, it meets up with your wheel bearing and spindle.. so if you look at your own pic take the screwdriver and move it to the right (if your looking at the comp screen)

 

ok so i only have to worry about the spacer thing on the hub then... i was going by what this hasport said about the dust seal being on the axle... but i don't see any dust seal so either i am totally retarded(good chance) or the dust seal on the axle is already off...

 

Your dust seal would be where the yellow arrow is, yours is gone.. the whole perpouse in removing the dust seal, is half on how it seats in the hub, and to allow it to sit deaper, which would alow the axle to stretch instead of being collapsed, and thats notorious on lowered cars, "binding axles" acting liek they are too long..

 

oh yeah, that clip you got on the screwdriver, its the tywrap for the CV boot.. don't take that off, it stays on.. you take that off, and its like busting your axel boot, you'll get grease everywhere, and just make a mess.. leave it alone.

 

I told you it wasnt there in my first post.

 

hey man, im just pointin **** out.. dont' get your panties in a bunch.. heh

 

thanks for your help guys.,.. sorry tbone i didn't relize u had said that mine was missing.. anyways thanks!

 

BTW the best way to get the best fitment on b16 swaps in ed's is to take a 87-89 integra outa hub and put it on the 90-93 inner hub. with the axle shaft from either axle. the reason being is the 87-89 integra hubs are smaller in length, therefore the dust sheild can stay there.

wow im a grave digger, my buddy linked me to this, and i had to post it up so peeps could get perfect fitment. hasport sells these axles i think.
