      So the axle popped out of the Trans-Axle?

        If all you did is popped out the axle out of the transmission then it can just be put back in. Verify that the seal for the transmission is not tore up and put the axle in, its going to be a little difficult because you have to line up the gears on the ax

              I do NOT recommend doing it that way as it separates the bearing and 8 times out of 10 it will come back needing a wheel bearing._x000D_

              I suspect you pulled the inner CV joint out of the cup, if you watch this video you’ll see how to get it back together, yo

                I wish the bearing would not break, i think it’s because the the car has 250K

                  Unfortunately that’s normal, a bigger hammer is your best friend.

                              You might have rolled the ‘C’ clip, if that’s the case you’ll have to replace it with a HONDA clip, the aftermarket clips are the wrong size and you’ll have the same problem

                                I took your advice from the video and didn’t replace the C clip, and i was very careful

                                  If you’re just having trouble putting it back in the trans try rotating the axle a quarter turn or so and try again, sometime you have to get the angle just right.

                                    Hello, finally an update.

                                    A friend of mine came to help me work on the car and when I was under the car
                                    he realized that the axle is on an angle.
                                    We jacked up the suspension and the axle went right in !
                                    Conclusion – The repair I did on the this axle with a axle boot kit was no good !
                                    From some reason the inner side didn’t have any angle slack.
                                    I got a rebuilt axle for around $60 and it works !!

                                    Thanks all for the help, till next time. banana:
