car is a 92 dx hatch. Motor is from a 95 cx.

passenger axle went in fine, smooth like butta.
drivers axle goes in motor side just fine, but wont fit through the hub/spindle side.

it seems like its too large, gets about 1/10th of the way in, and just flat out stops.

tried a ton of wd40, motor oil, penetrating oil.. you name it to lube it up, but that little bitch wont go in.

all the ''threads'' look fine, nothing is chewed up on either the hub/spindle or the end of the axle....

help ???

lol just make that sucker go in...try a different d-series axle if you can get one and see if that will work. if not there has to be somthing interfering in your hub or somthin. or just try cleanin out the spines real good too, good luck man

clean out the spines really well, and just force the fucker in there - they're a pain in the ass sometimes ... especially on an older car..... but it'll go. a deadblow hammer and some sheer force will do the trick ..... and sweet talking your tranny and caressing it in the right spots doesn't hurt either. Good luck!
