hey everyone. love this forum! Anyway, I'm about to do a front driver's side axle replacement. I purchased a new half axle for my 93 civic LX that was made for a civic equipped with ABS. Mine does NOT have ABS. The guy at the store said you can "pop off" or slide of the gear like mechanism that is attached with a screwdriver. I should probably just go return it and find a new one elsewhere, but I was curious if anyone has ever heard of doing this. thanks for any responses.
