CHEAPEST way to make K Swap CV Axles for EG Civic and DC2 Integra

- DC5 base axles are too short on the RH side (Drivers side here in Australia) and too long on the LH side. Swapping the inners means you increase the RH side by about 10mm and decrease the LH side by 10mm. If you don't do this you risk the axle coming out of the intermediate shaft and/or the LH side one binding up.
In this video we show you the cheap way to make swap axles for your EG Civic or DC2 Integra. There are lots of people confused about the steps to be taken but its really simple.
Key bit of info i missed in the video: these are DC5 Base axles which take the 32mm axle nut which are suited to the EG and DC hubs.
I can’t wait to try. Going to try and get this done in the coming weeks. Really happy I found this video
So the rusty one is not going in the car your using the shorter one ?
both are in the car - I just showed the process with one of them. You do the same with the other one.
Excuseme sir, i want to ask you about the k swap on civic, i have civic ek and i want to swap my engine to k series, i have the problem with the axles/drive shaft, can you suggest me what the drive shaft i have to use? From what the type of car, i'm from indonesian, cars with k20 is honda stream 2.0, crv gen 2, civic fd 2.0, any idea for the shaft?
Just saw this now, but i think we are already chatting in Instagram messenger :)
Sitting in the same boat. Which shafts did you use ?
Hi there. Nice, informative video. I have a RHD GE8 Fit / Jazz. Would this work in there? Been having issues with breaking outer cv joints on the passenger / left side. Using a Honda Civic FN2 / Euro Type R shaft with K-series inner and B-series outer cvs.
Swapping them like I did in this video gives you less length on the drivers side and more on the passenger side. So if your CV joins are breaking because they are bound up (too long) then i don't think this will help. I you are asking about rsx/dc5 axles in the GE8 - I'm sorry I do not know, but i suspect the GE8 is slightly wider? Sorry I cant help more, havent played with Jazz/Fit..... yet. hopefully soon!
@@teamaxlestands thank you for your response. I totally understand. Pity we're worlds apart hehe. Could offer mine as the guinea pig haha. Take care, bud.
What about if I'm using the accord euro 6 speed box, will this still work?
Yeah - as long as you use the short DC5/RSX half shaft then it will work
hi bro. can you give me idea about my civic2000 i swap b20b engine ang im using crv tranny 4×4 delete the transfercase ang my question what axle i need to my civic 2000
Sorry I dont know B series too well. I do know these (k series) will not work. I believe you'll be looking for some 1990-2000 Integra, Vtec DeSol or B powered EK (was it SI/EK9?) axles and intermediate shafts. If you have the CRV ones it might be worth seeing if they will work but my guess is they will be too long.
Does it have to be a manuel rsx or can it be the automatic one and what year?
I believe auto is good too. I've got a set of auto ones i nabbed from the local junkyard but im yet to try them. I believe part nos are the same for the axles. Note intermediate/halfshaft between manual and auto is different - I made that mistake :)
I take it these are b series axles that your swapping the inner joints so they will work with a k series swap in an eg or dc
these are DC5 Integra (RSX) manual Base model axels
@@teamaxlestands so you take base model rsx axles and swap the joints and they will fit a k series swap eg correct?
@@augiegonzales7025 thats right, mine is running the axles in this video without any issues.
@@teamaxlestands cool thanks for the info. Trying to go budget as much as I can
One more question, sorry, do they have to be for a manual trans or can they be for an auto s well
oh wow so no need to swap the tri bearings in side
Hi Matt, yeah I didn't, however if i did it again i would. Its just one circlip holding them on and its probably better to keep them matched with the cup. Cheers
Will this work for an ek civic
I am hoping someone else will confirm. Looking at aftermarket axles it seems they are the same if you have used an EG/DC Integra subframe for the swap. It would be good if someone who has done it can confirm though.
@@teamaxlestands worked well on my ek with eg subframe.
@@franks6844 legend, thanks for confirming!
I have that issue in my ek9 my axles the passenger side is to short and the go out of the bolt I use a eg sudframe so I can switch the end ?
Yeah it should work for that too. I"m not sure which way around it is and if you are running a B series or K. But basically it will make your intermediate shaft side longer and the other side shorter.
I running k20a3 all motor with eg subframe with the rsx base motor oem axles type s halfshatf but still go out of the bolt but I going to do that
yeah this should solve your problem. If i had my time again i'd swap the cups as well (there is a single clip on the top of them holding them on. Just to keep the ball part and the cup the same (as they have worn together)
@@teamaxlestands okay so o Can swap the cups like swap the axles you told me to swap with the driver side swapping the cups is better I think because my axles driver side is in a good they look more long the de passenger side you have Instagram? Like that I can send pictures you can see how the look
yeah just give me a msg on teamaxlestands on instagram and i can
have a look
Hey man I oem a axle rebuild shop and if I heard correctly your using Rsx axles and just swapping the inner joints ?
Thats right - swapping the inner joints just gives it a bit more length which it needs for the RHS and shortens the LHS to a perfect length
Nice video...is it true auto and manual 32mm axles are the same ?
I believe they are but i'm not 100% sure, if they are not the same they are very very close. The axles sit about 5 mm closer to the firewall in the auto so the difference in the length would be that much.
thank you bro
Did these axels fit well? I saw another video where they swapped the bearings inside too. I’m not sure if it’s necessary to swap the bearings inside the boot.
I've got them in the car but have not yet driven on them. The Left hand one is perfect (drivers side in USA) the Right one is slightly short from ideal (10mm) but i dont think it will be an issue. As for swapping the bearings.... I'm pretty sure they were identical so you'd just be doing this to keep the bearing and cup as a pair not for length. I'm not sure this is necessary. Maybe if doing it again i'd swap them... its easy enough to do.
@@teamaxlestands Alright thank you for your feedback. I am going to try it.
@@diegotorres9179 you are welcome. Yeah if you are going to do it and have circlip pliers then i'd swap the bearings as well to be safe.... You've got me wondering now if i should pull them out and swap my bearings over :)
@@teamaxlestandsthose axles holding up?
@@h22eh6 still no issues at all. No binding or popping out and I've driven the car a fair bit. It isn't a daily but I've done enough kms now to flush out issues.
You did not tell us what was reason for swapping the ends of the driveshafts and which on was longer and which was shorter
DC5 base axles are too short on the RH side (Driver here in Australia) and too long on the LH side. Swapping the inners means you increase the RH side by about 10mm and decrease the LH side by 10mm. If you dont do this you risk the axle coming out of the intermediate shaft and/or the LH side one binding up.
@@teamaxlestands Thank you
@@teamaxlestands Hi Can i use an honda accord intermediate shaft on ek kswap with dc5 driveshafts
@@clint1388 I'd you mean Accord euro then no they are too long. Need RSX or ep3. Not sure on USA Accord but I think they are the long ones too
I have Ep3 intermediate shaft but it comes off an automatic transmission will this shaft work thanks
The way you used that screwdriver made me wince because of how many times I've stabbed myself doing the same thing.
Haha me too, you'd think I'd learn
I'm from Australia, by rsx base is that meaning the k20a3 motor or the k20z
Mine was from an a3 but as I understand they are both the same length so either should work.
This really works????
Hell yeah, save yourself some cash!
@@teamaxlestands they gotta be oem right? Not aftermarket
@@teamaxlestands they have to be oem not aftermarket
@h22eh6 I dont see why aftermarket wont work, but the OEM are stronger thats why I used them. Also much cheaper if you can source them from your local junkyard
Is it posible to swap the outer cv with 36mm for dc2 knuckle ?
yeah i dont see why not. Or even easier is use DC5 type S/R axles and then nothing to swap!
Awesome. Thank you sir
Most welcome, I've seen so many people confused about how to do this!
I have a question. Are those DC5 axles from a base model or Type S/R. I'm assuming base model since EG's are 32mm?
Oh yeah, thats kind of a critical bit of information i missed. Yes these are DC5 Base model axles. I think the same process would work if you had the 36mm nut hubs and used the Type S/R.
@@teamaxlestands thank you for confirming. Looking forward to your next video.
Cheers m8
Hey bro I’m doin kswap in a eg…using k20 euro r engine …using dc5 base axles 32mm…do I hav to do same as ds video o I sud b ok just as…as k24 n k20 has size difference?
I think you still need to swap the inners. You could check pretty easily by installing them and seeing - but i believe the gearbox sits in exactly the same spot and this makes the right hand side axle too short.
@@teamaxlestands thanks bro
Are these 32mm axles ?
yeah these are RSX Base model which use the 32mm sized nut on the end
