Good job girl, I have 4 daughters and I had have different kinds of cars, mostly rotary, right now I'm working on a 92 eg si hatch, I'm going to teach my daughter how to work on them, love your vid, keep up the good work. 😂😂😂
I told A Friend about you, he owns ek2 k20 type r and is a keeper like you. He isn't on youtube, soon i'l broadcast him btw he appreciated ur hard work nd loved ur Boosted 😈 Axled Ek. !!Cheers!!
Good video! Pro tip: You can lock your brake rotor by placing a thick screw driver inside the fin of the rotor and have press against the caliper to allow you remove the axel. Also, I noticed you didn’t pinch the axle nut to the axle once it’s install to prevent it from becoming loose. P.s. I thought you had air tools, and if you don’t get them. It’ll make life a lot easier, trust me!
i'm JGott thank you for your tips, I know that you can stick the screwdriver through the rotor or you could get someone to step on the brake pedal, personally I have used all of the methods. One time I did the screwdriver method and I lost balance and fell and sliced my ear on my car since the car was jacked up and it was higher off the ground, so that’s why I loosen the nut when it’s still on the ground now lol. And I actually prefer using hand tools. I have a air tools and cordless ratchet and impact drivers. But you have to be careful because you can strip bolts and break bolts with air tools and electric tools. With hand tools I can feel the tension.
Aisha Christian aka aisha_ladybuilt I feel you on the hand tools but I do both mostly now. Power to remove parts and hand tools to tighten, depending on what it is.
yea i prefer removing lug nuts on the ground too and also prefer to just use hand tool for my own car too. but for other ppls car, i'll use air tool and take that chance.
FLAT-PLANE CRANKSHAFT I don’t like to do that because my traction bar is so close to the jack-point that the jack cup can’t fit on the jack-point so then I have to jack it up on the traction bar, which I don’t like doing because I don’t want to mess up the traction bar. But I will do that if I’m pressed for time and need to jack the car up quickly.
great vid only thing one could add is to not use the ball joint fork ,because it destroys ur ball joints (should only be used as Las resort or if replacing bj) instead some blows on the side of the lca with a good size hammer and they come out easly
Thank you for your suggestion. I actually haven't broken any boots yet lol, but I get where you're coming from because I can see how it can destroy them.
@@Aisha_LadyBuilt, you're welcome, do awesome work, I used to modify imports myself once upon a time, but I left, thinking about returning since my brother-in-law is considering buying himself an Ecplipse, he wants to turbo it
Oh man! Great Vid! I'm John from Bklyn, NYC, I own + drive a 97 Civic coup, orig. owner, use lifetime replacement Auto Zone shafts, the boots dry out n clamps break sometimes, but I install em myself too and save some money. I just subscribed to you and you've inspired me to keep my ride rollin!
I hate this video so much... Very informative and well sorted but holy hell my axles REFUSED to come off and seeing how yours popped off infuriate me lol great video
How have these axles been working for you? Looks like this was a year ago wonder some feed back because I’m searching for new axles for my gsr turbo eg
@@Aisha_LadyBuilt ...and thank you for posting, will be liking and commenting in future vids and possibly to your previous content during my graveyard shifts (x.
There’s an easier and safer (for the BJ boot) to separate the lower ball joint from the LCA. It’s also easier to just unbolt the intermediate shaft rather than messing with slamming it back until it locks into the clip.
Not all axle nut are 32mm, jdm are 36mm. You can count the splines to know which ones you have if you did a 5 lug conversion. So 26 spline axle is 32mm and 28 spline axle is 36mm axles.
I was so excited when I found your channel. I go to school for mechanics, body work to be specific. It’s just wonderful to see another woman doing this.
I know this video is a few years old, but what was your overall experience with Insane Shafts? Did they have good communication, etc during buying process? I just bought some and they have been keeping me in the dark.
Aisha, I just bought 500hp rated axles for my K swap and thought same thing @ first that you did. Like they should look beefier or whatever. Did research and most have stronger center shafts (shaft in middle) and guts inside on ends are built stronger/tougher. Just thought you like to know.
Hella nice video. my quick question, difference between the manual and auto interminent shaft, the one bolted to the back of the block. I never pulled any maintence or disassemble on an auto. All my cars are/were DA9/DB1/DB2, one 2992 EG hatch in Germany that had a b18b1 ... car got stolen, someone forgot to what they agreed upon
Thank you for you suggestion. I've actually done it from the top before, and like I said in the video, everyone has their way. I prefer to do it this way lol.
Just remember the stock axles were the weak point and that why the snapped. Now that you replaced the axles you got rid of that weak point. There is going to be a next weak point hopefully it's not the transmission next. I much have rather just replace an axle because they are cheap and easier to replace then what will come next to break. Just shooting my two cents
Good question... I highly recommend getting an alignment after removing and installing/reinstalling any suspension parts, so yes, I would get an alignment after this job. Does everyone get their car aligned every time after touching suspension parts, probably not, but I personally like for my car to be going straight. 🧡
I keep braking axles on my lowered Tc first one lasted 20miles second one I installed lasted less than half mile . Bought my axle from autozone . Any advise on why it keeps braking ? Need help thanks
I hope that they were not the right axles and that the problem was that. But its like 2 new axles broke i dont understand. What brand would you recommend ? Do they make better axles for lowered cars ? My car is low but not too low i never had this issues before with any other of my low cars. Any tips or recommendations would help thanks.
Have you had any issues with these? I just picked some up and they look identical to the cheap Trakmotive / Surtrack axles that Auto Zone and O'reilly's sells, so I am a bit skeptical.
I believe the one was using is a 12 or an 18 inch pry bar. It depends on how high you have he car jacked up in the air. The longer the pry bar the more leverage you'll have.
Damn, the effort it took to go into this video is very appreciated! Good shieeeeeet Aisha!

I usually jack the front ek with a stock frame, cus I could do everything with both wheels off the ground at the sametime quickly.

The beautiful thing about those civics is that parts even performance parts are relatively inexpensive for those vehicles
Literally step by step. Thank you so much! 👍
A good tech tip for next time is, use anti seize on the axle splines , it makes it easier to remove and install.

I have not had any issue with the axles at all. I have not had to deal with their customer service so I cannot comment on the aspect.

sos una crackk chabona segui asi saludo desde argentima
Try dropping the upper ball joint instead of the bottom next time. Them forks rip the lower ball joint. And its easier from up top
Thank you for you suggestion. I've actually done it from the top before, and like I said in the video, everyone has their way. I prefer to do it this way lol.
Hey whatever works 😁😁 keep the videos coming 💥💥👍👍💪💪
LOL... Thank you!
big ups🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮
Yess-ii
The difference lies within the axles. The Bearing and Bearing cup. Should be much larger.
Nice job. The new one axle appears thicker. Is it? When are you racing Johanna Gonzalez?
Debating if I should get stock for my ek b series swap or the insane shafts

Did u notice a difference i size from oen?,the pass side was 2inches shorter in the dc5 its weird
No, they were both the same. That's strange!

I'm thinking 11.8 but I know you have a 10 sec car but with a very good tune. I see the way you drive you can do it.
Torque Wrench? Use a Torque Wrench on all the suspension nuts, especially the AXLE Nut.
How do you keep your hair clean? I always found myself putting a hat on.
Do you need an allignment after this job?

Does everyone get their car aligned every time after touching suspension parts, probably not, but I personally like for my car to be going straight. 🧡
Btw, love ur videos and knowlegde on cars. Its awesome:)
What are the torque specs for the fork bolts, the axle nut and the lower control arm ball joint... ? Torque specs for those 3 things wasn't need it?
Can you do a video on that wiper cowl thing? I want someting similar Also, stake your axle nut?
Forget to show dimpling the axel nut this is very important step and hopefully you did it
It's called staking the axle nut. It's not important. What's important is the proper torque specs. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@MrSims-ky2ne umm ok buddy whatever you say, that's like saying you don't need a cotter pin.
I keep braking axles on my lowered Tc first one lasted 20miles second one I installed lasted less than half mile . Bought my axle from autozone . Any advise on why it keeps braking ? Need help thanks

No, I have not had any issues, and I've been down the drag strip multiple times with them.
Good job girlfriend have a blessed weekend
Aisha where did you place the jack stands, under the frame?
I usually put them at the compliance bushing bracket for the front.
Finally!!! Lol
Ricky Gomez lol 😂
What stock brand is the one that you had before you put on the insane shafts
Damn
You forgot to indent the lock nut for the axle. Not doing this will allow the nut to loosen up over time.
Wow Is Good To See A Pretty Girl With A Nice HatchBack
Any updates on how the axles held up?
They're holding strong! I built a new motor that is now making 593hp, and I went to the drag strip a couple months ago and they were fine!
I know this is 3 years old but what’s the caliper set up?
They're Wilwood direct bolt on calipers with rotors for EX Civic
How have these axles held up? Have you had a lot of launches on them since you installed them?
I haven't made it back out to the track to test them out on my Mickey's, but I hope to soon.
No power tools! Putting those to Shame who use power tools! Lol
