wassup k20a.
in need in some help again. i have an k20a2 ek civic w/32mm 5 lug. im trying to change my passenger side axle but i cant to seem to remove the inbound joint that connect to the drive shaft or 1/2 shaft. im hammering away a it but its not budging so i just want to buy a new one.
so, may someone please tell me what this part is called, that is connected to the trans. the shaft in the middle of the cv axle and trans.
thanks.

***edit***new***
i bought 2 passenger side axles (1 type-s, 1 gsr). i removed the inbound of both axles, then placed the type-s inbound onto the GSR axle. did i do that right?

 

[hoojee]

the part number for the midshaft is 44500-SCV-A00. should hit up [email protected] for mad prices on OEM parts

I've heard of swapping inners with rsx 32mm and 36mm but you're doing it with a B-series axle? this is news to me.

if the lengths work out and there isn't any binding then go for it.

OP, you cant obtain a pair of OEM 32mm rsx base axles?

mr. kdes, what would you recommend? I'm leaning about this too. lol.

 

[Mr. KDes]

if you're 32mm, a couple options

1. OEM RSX base axle w/ swapped inners. DO NOT use aftermarket (advance auto, etc) as those have tripod bearings which make it a bit difficult to swap inners. its possible but messy

2. OEM RSX type s axles w/ swapped inners but you need the 32mm spline shaft end (part that goes into the hub) from either a B or D series axle. this can get messy, if you don't mind swapping cups, regreasing and reclamping, go for it

those two options I know for sure work, sup people said they used EP3 axles with no issues some said they have.

OP, just make sure the lengths on those B series axles are good to use. like I said this is the first time I heard of someone using b series axles with type s swapped inners.

So pretty much, he got it backwards? use the entire type s axle and swap the end that goes in the hub not the shaft?

 

[Mr. KDes]

yeap, backwards

just as you said but

- use the type s axles
- swap the inners on the type s axles
- use the outers (hub end) from the gsr axle on the type s axles

hope that makes sense

that makes sense. i just swapped the wrong end. do i need to change the bearings and everything in the inside of the boot as well? or can i just change the cup???

 

[Mr. KDes]

if both pairs of axles you have are OEM, I believe simply swapping the inners and the outers will be fine.

if you have aftermarket axles (like I experienced) not only will you have to swap the inners but the tripod bearings as well, that's on the inner side.

On the outer side (hub end) not sure what that entails as I have never tried it, I tried to keep things as simple as possible lol =p

 

[r_fkn_1]

just to be safe, since i swapped the wrong end. lol. i swap the cups thats on the white paper that goes to the hub right?

^yes you want to swap outside part as your car has smaller spline/hub

on side note i have been beating on base rsx axles from autozone for awhile with no issues, no swapping anything what so ever. go to autozone pay $120 for two axles, slap them in, beat on them till they break and exchange with lifetime warranty when they do. quite few others on here run same GSP advance/ autozone axles also. just dont tell autozone its a swapped car it will void warranty, just say you have a base rsx.

these are from auto zone. :frage: smh.lol. the type s is life time warranty and the gsr is refurbished. this whole time all i needed was rsx base? well lesson learned.

^^^how did i miss this??? so thats all i need is rsx base?

I've ran 32mm(base) and 36mm(type s) GSP axles with no problems.

 

[r_fkn_1]

what did I do wrong here? this is way harder than I thought it would be. So I took both axles to the shop to swap out the spline that goes into the hub and it wouldn't work because the type s axle is to big for the gsr to fit. please help. thanks

pm returned. just get a set of base model rsx axles and slap them in.

 

[MRJRY2598]

LOL........ Return those 2 axles and get BASE RSX AXLES.
