cv axle install
Imma get this section off to a start. Since I own the same year series, and have 5 years of experience working on the cars, feel free to ask me anything on the 5th gen civics.
This is for an axle install which I know will work for the 92-95 Civics (all trim levels). It is about as easy as it gets.
First of course remove lugs and wheel(s). Next, the hub nut in the middle of the rotor may have a notch hammered into it to prevent it from backing out. Use anything small enough to wedge in there and hammer it back out to be kind of round.
Next, you'll need a 32mm socket and either a strong impact gun or good breaker bar to remove the 32mm nut from the axle's end.
Next, you'll need to remove the castle nut at the bottom of the whole arm assembly. You may need some pliers to remove the cotter pin from the castle nut, and then a 17mm socket to remove the nut. After that, either simply hammer the hell out of the arm the stud slide into (NOT the stud the castle nut was threaded to) or, get a ball joint separater (looks like a giant tuning fork) and wedge that into the joint, and hammer the hell out of it.
Then, you should be able to swing the whole assembly around. You may need to just loosely thread the axle nut onto the end of the axle to hammer it out of the hub assembly. If you're not re-using this axle, then just hammer the axle itself.
Some of the Civics, the axle went through the fork in the suspension, in that case, remove the nut and bolt (SHOULD BE 17mm), and then you can pry the other end of the axle out.
Reverse that order for installation. I find it easier to slide the outter end of the axle into the hub first, and then hammer it into the tranny side second. Be careful with the axle though. Hammering directly on the axle could musrhoom the end of it, making for a good headache and burst of obscenities later. Just loosely thread the axle nut onto the axle and use it to hammer. Let me know if there's any quetions for this installation.
