I was in the process of getting my transmission back in the car and getting the axles snapped it place when the left CV came apart inside the boot
Has anyone had this happen? I looked it up in the helm and I'm getting more and more confused by the minute. It came apart right before the intermediate shaft. Can I take that boot off and just pop the splines back in or do I need to rebuild it?
Also....what size is the spindle nut? The book says 24mm but it looks much larger. Thanks in advance guys....
You might be able to get the CV joint to slip back together, but I would want to remove the boot just to make sure that there is no internal damage. Of course, once you do that, you might as well rebuild it!
The nut on the axle is 36mm. It's a 24mm shaft, but the nut is 36mm. How did you remove the nut without knowing what size it was!?!?!?
How old are the axels? You might want to rebuild them just as a preventative measure.

I didnt remove it yet. I plan to get the correct socket and remove the shafts completly tonight. Do you recomend rebuilding them myself or just buy rebuilt ones?

Yes I have a Helm but it looks confusing as **** looking at it in the book without seeing it for real! How much do you think new halves go for? Are rebuilds unreliable?
I am sure some rebuilds are good, I just don't trust people sometimes.
New drive axles run a bit over $200 each. I think rebuild kits go for about $100 for both sides, so it's cheaper to rebuild, but if the axles are quite worn, I would just buy new ones (money conerns also need to be taken into account!).
Where are you getting the tools from? Sears sells a 36mm 1/2" drive socket, but 1/2 drive is a little small to break torque on that nut. I used a 3/4" drive breaker bar, 3/4" drive extension, and a 3/4" to 1/2" adapter to get the nut off. You will have to drop the car back onto the ground to keep the wheel from turning when you try to break torque on the nut.

Thanks Billy. I got the nuts off with a 36mm 1/2" drive socket and an air gun. I also see what happened inside. The little rotor bearing things came out of their slots. I just lined them back up, added grease and popped it back together. We'll see tomorrow how it all works if I get everything back together.....Thanks for your help again!

I have an issue with my 94 prelude si, it cranks but wont start.. I've changed the distributor cap and rotor, as well as the coil, and still no spark, what could be the issue
Do you know anyone that makes an aftermarket fuel guage? I'm thinking about putting some guages behind the black glass on the right side. However I didn't want to mix aftermarket guages and stock guages. I was looking at the Apex-i EL2 guages since they're blue and will somewhat match the...
