Axle Help.

[Smooth_Imports]

I've never needed to take the axle off the half shaft, but as they say theres a first for everythign. I fucked the thread on the axle and can't get the 32mm nut back on so i'm just going to replace the axle. My questions are
1. Do i need any specail tools to seperate the two.
2. Do i need to take th half shaft out of the tranny
3. How to they pull apart?


thats it for now i'm leaving wrok in 20 min and will be starting the project in like an hour. Let me know any helpful hints you may have.,

You don't need to remove the half shaft. You don't need any special tools. All you do is shove a big flathead screwdriver in between the 2, and whack on it with a deadblow hammer...it'll pop loose.

what we do is use one of the little red craftsman pry bars and just hit it real quick on the handle to pop it out...i would never recommend beating straight up onto the inside where the axle goes in..you could damage something, there is a bearing there.

That's what I meant, hit the handle laterally to pop the axle loose...not directly up into it...should have clarified, but it was in my brain and made sense to me lol...

lol i got what you were saying i just thought i should clarify too

[dubcac]

I thought it was pretty self explanatory with the way the axle comes out...but you never know what some people will try...lol

well that wasn't the problem. The car is still making a fucked up rotational noise. I'm done with this shit. The civic is now for sale.

did you check the wheel bearing in the hub? maybe the bearing is bad.. if so you want to sell the whole damn car cause of a clicking freaking wheel bearing???!?!?!
