I took the right hand side axle out from under my 1998 accord SiR-T, it has a torn outer boot. Long story short I couldn’t get the outer part of the axle appart and the inner boot was cracked up, so I decided to change that one as well and took the back end of the axle appart. When I slid off the inner end, I took off the bearings and cleaned everything up and put it all back together with new boots. The bearings were siting on rectangular spacers, I didn’t notice what side the were on (the bearings don’t sit in the middle of the spacers). I reassembled the axle without really thinking about the orientation of the bearings. Anyone have a diagram of these to help me make sure I didn’t put them in upside down?

I drew a rough picture of the bearings and the two possible ways of re-assembly. I hope some of this gibberish means something to you guys!

thanks for you help!


for your trouble here’s the car on prelude wheels with winter tires

 

Is the grey part in your drawing the roller bearing that has a base attached like a tophat? I think the orientation is the 4 o'clock orientation.

Google 44310-S3X-300 to see if the images are what you are asking about. I believe these spacers are for manual transmission CV joints.

 

a million thank you’s for the google search. With it I found this :
