Default Just took out my axles**

Man its way easy just disconnect all the ball joints the foork the bar thats attahced to the fron of the car and the caliper then you just pull it out. I would recomend pulling off the spindle nut first cause its a bitch i got to go have mine taken off by a shop cause its on so tight.:madfawk: :thumbup:

when the carson the ground, undo the spindle nut. just take a 32 mm i believe socket and a long ass breaker bar. then undo the castle nut on the bottom of the knuckle, take the brake pads off, and pull everythign to the side, and slide the axel out.

Just took off my drivers side axle on my 95 honda civic B16a2 swap...

Lose spindle nut of course, remove lower control arm and then the fork..... no need to remove any of the brake system as far as I know... Didn't have to on mine... Then, if you have a half shaft, remove where the CV joint connects to the half shaft, remove axle... Reverse to re-install.... Make sure axle pops onto half shaft....

If you have half shafts, there will be no need to drain tranny fluid, but will have to on passenger side...
