when it comes to ball joint/suspension etc. honda is the hardest to work on because everthing is pressed in, on my Audi the ball joints and tie rods are bolted on, vw,bmw,etc.

------- Ametuers. You guys make ---- way harder than it has to be, so that's why I;m here. ;)

First and foremost, always take out the axles. This does two things. One, it lets you lightly grease the splines that go into the hub which makes getting them out later, easier. And two, having no axles in the way makes it ten times easier to get the tranny back in. I always put the tranny on by myself, from the top. If you have the axles dangling around and poking the tranny from the driver's side, it just makes it a bitch.

Second, to get the axles out on honda's, the easiest way is to remove the upper control arms. On EKs you will have to remove the battery ::), but not the shocks. On DC's and EG's, you will have to remove the shocks, but not the battery. ---- TAKING OUT THE LOWER BALL JOINT. If you remove the upper control arms from the chassis, then you can pull the knuckles back far enough to remove the axles. Pop the axle out from the knuckle first, then pry it from the tranny.

Now you have all the bullshit out of the way and everything else is pie from there. :6

I just went and paid for 6 new pp bolts. They are at the local warehouse so they shouild be at the local dealership tomorrow. Local tool rental place has a tranny jack for 15$. Im gonna rent it tomorrow. $15 seems so worth it.

only an idiot would try to remove a tranny with axles still installed, makes life harder, especially on b series with the intermediate shaft still attached. do it the way I posted and you will be fine, it just take a little muscle.

tranny jacks might not help. since hte transmission never sits right on the jack. they're great for rwd cars though.

i cant get the tranny to sit even close to right on my standard jack. if i cant get the tranny jack tomorrow, ill definately get back to u rawr. This clutch install is such a pain in the ass

Actually you dont have to take off the upper control arm to get the axle out. You take off the strut fork that connects to teh lca. Beleive me, I've dropped my motor 3 times in teh last six months.
