This was a very helpful thorough video, and it is much appreciated. But yes, the axles have to be flush to the transmission. I used a rubber mallet to get them in.
I just did this today on my beater. I couldnt agree more 🤣🤣 PB blaster and the biggest damn breaker bar i could afford were how i fought the rust from all the snow and salt and neglect.
I would have put the lug nuts onto the wheel studs to protect the threads before removing the wheel nut. Also, the Honda shop manual says to "Install hex nut on ball joint. Ensure nut is flush with ball joint pin end, or threaded section of ball joint pin might be damaged by ball joint remover."
The spindle nut gets punched every time you install it. To remove it you bend and deform the metal. The nut doesn't have the tension to stay on as tight anymore. Metal Fatigue. It'll be fine as a temporary measure to get to the store to buy a new one, but don't rely on an old nut long term.
if you dont have a tool set with all sizes of tools then you probably shouldnt be doing a job like this yourself. its extremely easy to figure out what size tool you need when the bolt/nut is infront of you. how entitled can a person be? be grateful that you have instructional videos like this at your disposal instead of being such a spoilt brat.
The best step by step... period

That's one clean civic

Wouldn’t the axle have to be pushed in almost touching the trans the same way you pulled out the old one
It's like watching what I read right out the Haynes manual lol
Excelente. 👍
Nice work...

Very good butcher Instructional Video
Why do you need a new spindle nut?

This video shows how poorly written Haynes manuals are doesn't even tell you what size the nuts are

I agree, the whole time watching the video, I was wondering when are they going to give us the nut sizes
