Ok, so I started tearing crap off yesterday for my new ACT clutch, everything is starting to come off easy, I"m like "this is a first", then I get to my drive shafts, and I CAN"T get my spindle nuts off for anything, so now I have to wait until next weekend to get a air ratched socket that won't crack on me, man I"m pissed. I havn't even had a change to take it out this year yet!, and after I get my clutch done, I'm going to Uberdata which might take another two weeks! sucks!!!

 

u dont need to remove ur axles
just pop off ur balljoints and twist it open
works fine

 

and theres a manual in the hybrid section (92-95civic) and it tells u step by step how to do it the right way

 

I have the 92-95 honda service manual, and it does tell step by step, but im not sure how exactly to just pop my blal joints off and twist the axles, explain.

 

I bought an entire set of metric Impact sockets for $20 from a local discount tool store. (like Harbor Freight) Just go buy a set and get your car done.

 

get a ball joint fork and split both upper and lower balljoints off the hub
one u release the ball joints u cant open the hub like a door and that makes enough clearance for u to remove the tranny with the axle still attached to the hub

 

Sometimes the ball joints are a bitch to get apart if you dont have the fork tool. So...Unbolt the lower control arm and strut from the arm. That too will give you plenty of clearence. I have found this to be the easiest and fastest way at the track. I even had to swap a tranny out between rounds. 1 hour 10 minutes full trans swap on my back with hand tools jack stands, a chain and a 2x4 supporting the engine lol!! (95 hatch)

 

yeah man definetly just pop off the lower ball joint and pull the hub back, you be able to slip it right out of there.


just get one of these---> and pound on that ****** till it breaks loose

 

Clutches are cake, If I remember right you can just pop the upper balljoint, undo the strut, and pull the spindle far enough to get the axle out
