Front driver side CV Axle Problems

[payne4200]

I got a 01 Honda Civic LX MT non vtech, and no abs, but took my front driver side wheel hub off and put it back on, now my CV axle doesn't want to go into the hub, I have used WD-40, and grease. What else can I do, is there a trick to it...

The transmission side has a clip and the hub side doesn't have one. I remembered it was very smooth going in. Look up the service manual for details.

Here is a pic of my wheel hub, doesn't look damaged or anything, been through 2 remanufactured axles already that go in transmission fine but not the wheel hub.this time I bought a brand new one, will try to get that one in when the rain moves out.

I bought the CV axle from AutoZone for 40 bucks, remanufactured not new, it wouldn't fit into the hub, and looked like crap but had new boots on it, took it back and swapped it out with another one, same thing, so took it back and bought a new one from advance for 75 bucks and haven't tried putting it in yet cause of the weather. I heard a lot of people that buy AutoZone parts for Honda have problems with the parts not fitting right.

New axle did the trick, now on to the oil pan, and oil pump, when I put my water pump on do I need to use some teflon tape on bolts, or what should I use.

My feedback is buy a new CV axle, and I appreciate any advice from anyone, I'm doing all this by myself and sorry for not stopping and taking pics. Just on a time frame to get it all done, the splines on the new axle were smaller and deeper, the only difference I could see, the reman axles were alot shallower and the tips of the splines were rounded off a lil bit. My first time experiencing these problems but I will be happy to give any advice or help to anyone that runs into the same problems I had. Thanks so much for any help someone gives me.

So were the 2 reman labled wrong or were the spindles/hubs changed at some point? Dont make sence..

Hey civtech, I think that's what happened, but 2 of them, from 2 different stores, lol I guess it happens, you get what you pay for I guess. I wasn't offended just wanted people to know I'm willing to help out with my experience.
