Good tip i read from another video! Lift the whole side of the car and no/minimal tranny fluid leaks out. I’m about to check mine to see if I was already low, so this isn’t written in stone.
fuuuuuuuuuuuck this lol way beyond my skills and tools lol
thank you!!! I got my old axle out and the new one in because of your help :D
hey if one wheel spins, shouldn’t the other wheel spin the opposite direction when u turn one? if this doesn’t happen, AND when the car is turned on and can go into all gears without the use of clutch, what does all this mean? this is my problem 🙁
did you drain the tranny before removing the axle or after?
Hey guys im hitting the bolt underneath and i cant undue the tamper. Any suggestion?
Fluid fill or drain? Whoops.
nice compressor tools made the work much easier definetly doing this tonight…
Thats helps
man you are awesome, like others you have definitely saved me money and given more motivation to work on my own stuff even the more difficult jobs such as this one
Hello Paul
Dude, this helped so much. I have a question, I own a 1994 Honda Prelude SI Manual. Would replacing the Axle on this be similar to replacing the Axle on the Civic?
Thank you..I do it tonight
Nice thanks man
Is this same process for replacing the cv boot? It would seem alot of work just to replace a boot.
thank.s for the video .i am gona save me same money an du it my self
watch the video
watch the video
According to napaonline an axle for a 1.5L and a 1.4L in a 1997 Civic both have the same part number: 956167. The re-manufactured price is listed at 50 dollars and the core charge is 11 dollars. That price is from the Napa nearest my house.
Hello Paul,
My axle got broken in the middle.
I have the 1,5i LS civic Hatchback 3 doors. A new axle costs approx 800$ here in sweden. And I haven’t found any used one yet.
Can I use the Axle from a Civic 1,4i?
Is the length. Splines and thickness of the shaft the same?
how much the axel cost
Thank you. Awesome help.
Top video! Thanks
Excellent video !!Thanks for your help. watching it made the job alot easier. we did both sides of car in about 2.5 hours. keep them videos coming. great job too!!ar
How long did this take to do?
Great video saved me a lot of trial and error thanks
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Sorry for the delayed response. The axle nut torch is 134 Ft-lbs. It shows this at 8:30 in the video.
No, there is no need for an alignment after the axle change. None of the parts that are coming apart are adjustable so it does not change any of the alignment.Yes things like the tie rod ends have adjustments, but this job does not change any of those type adjusters. Good luck.
Thank you Paul, very good video! I needed to see this because I have the same car in 96′ model and the joints are all messed up with torn boots. One question I have is that did you take your Civic in for front alignment after the repairs?
Wow by far your the best mechanic in youtube! you really saved me some $, thank you 🙂
I’m about replace my axles and this video just helped out tremendously. Good stuff!
I also plan on replacing the lower ball joints, and it looks like I’ll be able to get to them during this, and use a gear puller to press it out.
what torque
Thanks for the tutorial helped alot worked for my 1992 honda civic EG SI!!
Good video i like
Where exactly did you lift it up when you put the jack in front of the car?
i have a 95 honda civic manual transmission..and after i followed all the step of your video and test drive it. it doesn’t move forward or backward. i just want to know what i did wrong
ive done it on a 97 civic ex and did not have to remove the 17mm bolt
Forgot to add a 32mm or 1 1/4 in socket in your tools need info panel at start of vid
CV Joints can last a long time, even after the boots crack, tear, or wear out and dirt and debris gets in them. But 7 years is a long time, I would replace them.
honda recomends lowering the car before tightening any suspension arms to avoid damaging the bushings
THANK YOU! made life so much easier with the vid than reading
I just need to replace the seal, not even the arm. Great vid. 97 civic EX.
