Excellent write up. :bigok:

I have a 94 civic and I replaced my transmission. When I went to put the axles back in, the passenger side went in fine and the drivers side went into the transmission fine but absolutely refuses to go into the knuckle hub.

I have tried it dry, greased, WD40'd. I have completely cleaned the splines on the axle and the teeth in the hub with a wire brush so they are silver and rust free but it just will NOT go in and I have no idea what to do. I can see that they are lined up but nothing can put the axle through. It acts like it's being caught right where the teeth meet the splines.

I have been screwing with it for 3 days now Somebody please help. Any tips are very much appreciated right now.

I originally tapped the axle out with a punch and it slid out smoothly. I have tried 2 different axles, both will go into the tranny fine but both refused to slide into the hub.
