Hey everyone, I am just finishing up a b18b swap into my 93 vx hatch. I have gotten the driver side axle in and am working on the passenger side, I have the axle seated in the spindle and it is almost completely in the tranny, It has maybe a quarter inch left to go, Im guessing it is the clip that needs to go in. I was wondering if any people on here have any tips or pointers on getting the axle in because I have put some muscle into it and still it doesn't move any more. Thanks.

 

Axle bolted to the hub yet??

 

nope, i just picked up new axle nuts today. I will torque them down and try it out. thanks

 

It doesnt have to be attched to the hub, i was just curious. But, I used the weight of the hub to press it in (plus my own weight). But, I believe you just use a rubber mallet to Get the snap ring past the opening.
