Hey, I have an 89 civic dx and I was wondering wut size of socket I would need to take off the driveshaft. Because I blew one of them so I need to replace it after I put my tranny back on.

i presume you are talking about your cv axles? should be 34mm i believe.

 

32MM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for sure!!!!!!

 

Agreed. He is right on the money once again.

 

good shit, I gotta get that socket then, are they always a bitch taking out?

nah just use a 2 foot breaker bar and it'll come right undone. make sure to open up the tab on the nut itself that is pushed in to keep the nut from unscrewing...you will have to put some ass into it when getting it off because it's torqued to like 80+ ft/lbs

 

How do I open up the tab? Special tool or something?

 

Is it possible to take out the driveshaft if it is not in the tranny? Cuz my tranny is out right now...
