Tutorial: Install drive axle on a 1995 Honda Accord

Tutorial on how to change your drive axle in a 95 Honda Accord. This tutorial will work for just about any Honda as well and will be similar for many other companies drive axles.

Note: If you are changing the passenger side axle, you'll have to change your tranny fluid as well. Link below is on a 98 Civic, but the install is exactly the same on the Accord.

Nice! Thanks bro. You knw how transmission oil it takes? My car (D16y8)

[nukem384]

@X4hunterx4 i always buy genuine honda fluids, so i dont know what weight it is. its just manual or auto tranny fluid.

Great video, but how did you pop out the driver side axle?, I tried a pry bar but their was nothing I could see to pry against?

[nukem384]

@CaptianAnthony for the drivers side, you have to do it where the axle connects to the intermediate shaft.

Hey, I got the first one out, but I took it to O'Reilly auto parts and spent about an hour just to find out that the biggest size they had for my specific car was a 38", but the one I pulled out of my car was a 40-41" (drivers side of a '95 honda accord 4 cyl.). Will the 38" one work??

[nukem384]

@tigerswimmer1213 i wouldnt try putting an axle in there thats 2-3" longer. you need to find the correct size or bad things will happen

[freddytiny]

hey maybe you can help me i working on a 94 accord i removed the axel (passenger side) and measured it to my new axel and they are the same size but my new axel wont come out threw the disc as if it was to short but they are the same size? any suggestions?

[coolriderman]

instead of prying out your old axle what you could do is wrap a chain around the end of it and tug on it, let it slack, tug again, and repeat til its out. just did it.

@CaptianAnthony if its like a 99 CRV I just worked on you need to use a hammer and long extension or metal bar as a chisel of sorts. IT also helps of you rotate the opposite wheel so you can hammer at both sides of the cv joint case. Good luck!

peace of cake im taking on this job tomorrow will let u kno how it go

[salvatoreqro]

I do this to my honda civic dx 96 and the clicking when i turn the weel is gonne,but now when i reach 70 miles per hour and up,my car vibrate a lot.... So what happened?

[tigerswimmer1213]

@nukem384 I have heard that people say they measure it while the joint is compressed when they measure the new ones, can I stretch it out or something to make sure it is the same as the old one?
