Review on 🏎️ Enhanced Performance and Durability with Cardone 66-4064 New CV Axle by Uriel Arocha

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for 96 Civic 1.6L Manual Transmission

Hello, Passenger axle fitted, ridden a few days, works great. Four stars because I don't have longevity. Great price, turned up in the morning on day 2, was able to install in the afternoon. It took a total of less than 2 hours to clean up Jack. First hang up was unscrewing the axle nut, it took some time, some small screwdrivers etc to bend. I used a Harbor Freight electric impact wrench to unscrew the axle nut, a 32mm head I believe. If you're using a regular brake switch on a manual transmission, have someone apply the brake so you don't roll the car off the jack/jack. The lower ball joint and the bolt of the suspension fork have a diameter of 17 mm. I was able to disconnect the ball joint from the arm with a cucumber fork AFTER the joint between the arm and spindle - it popped out. I used a cucumber fork (carefully) to get the axle out of the gearbox. The lever must be pushed down to move the axle rod past/around the fork to remove the axle. Apply a small amount of gear oil to the inside surfaces of the axle. Use it fully, squeezing it several times from the outside of the knuckle, like a reverse hammer. I used a breaker, one end on the chassis, to push the lever down to move the fork bolt back. I think the axle nut torque is 135 ft lbs, my son pressed the brake pedal while I tightened it. Don't forget to make a recess on the axle nut after tightening. Much luck.
