putting CV axle back...darn it!
Hi,
I am replacing a cv axle on a 92 accord. I got the old one out w/o problems, but I just cannot seem to manage to lock the new one back into the tranny. The splined end goes in 1/2 way and then seems to hit on something and not move any further. Is it a matter of pure "force" or is there some "trick" to get it into the tranny? Is a hammer necessary? Thanks! |

Also, sometimes the CV axle shafts are rebuilt without much quality
control. Check the splines and dress them up with a file if needed. Good Luck. |
