Guys, I ran into a bit of a problem. I cant get the axles off for the life of me. I tried everything and it doesnt work. Seems like its stuck on there really good. Is there any special trick to get these guys out?
Thanks
update: Head + cams should be shipped out next week.

hi gsrboy when you pulled the motor did you put the car up on stands and drop the motor from the bottom or just lift it from the top. and how did you remove tranny as well please.
If you mean getting axles removed from the tranny you have to use two pry bars to exert equal pressure at two points roughly 180 degrees apart. If you don't equalize pressure the snap ring won't allow the axle out.
I dropped it from the bottom and when I remove the tranny I had to push in the forks so it moves away from the release bearing then it would slide out.
I had the same problem. Mine have never been removed. Cody at Love Fab spent some time getting mine out for the Turbo Set-up he was installing. This is pretty commen if your car has some milage on it.
Spray on penetrating oil and try again in a day.
Oh, the axle is off the tranny already. It is stuck on to the hub as of now. And it wont budge.
thanks for the info guys. Ill try that out.
Hey guys! Good news! After getting the liquid wrench pentrating bottle i let it sit for a few minutes and it came right out. Thanks alot guys! I started on taking the axle off 6+ months ago and gave up but now its finally out. Thanks for all the help.
Another quick question about timing belt. Has anyone use the toda timing belt for their motor? Is it worth the extra money? I am stuck between at and oem but oem have never given me problems ever. I just never tried toda. Thanks

I used penetrating oil to get my harmonic balancer out. It was easy.
SOS has a power belt that is top of the line and is cheaper than a toda timing belt (oem is also a very good belt)
Thanks, I went ahead and ordered oem. I didnt want to deal with issues later down the road and oem is proven.
Any updates?
Heads shipped out from endyn today. UPS has it set for tuesday for delivery. Ill take some pics then. The transmission is done (jdm gears + nsxr r&p). Got the clutch, tensioner, and comptech cam gears.
When you get your camshafts, could you measure the VTEC lobes along the two axes in the picture?
I’ve only measured one set of camshafts, which I believe were from Science of Speed. The diameter of the VTEC intake cam’s base circle (the horizontal axis in the picture above) was 31.4 mm and at its thickest point it was 38.3 mm. So the cam had a lift of 6.9 mm, which when multiplied by the 1.55:1 rocker arm ratio (according to SoS) gives a lift of 10.7 mm at the valve. The VTEC lobes on the exhaust side had a base circle of 31.7 mm, a maximum thickness of 38.1 mm, so a lift of 6.4 mm at the cam and 9.9 mm at the valve.
Comptech advertise 11.4 mm of lift at the valve on the intake side and 10.9 mm on the exhaust side with their camshafts. Toda advertise 12.0 mm of lift at both the intake and exhaust valves with their Spec A camshafts.
It would be really interesting how much lift your custom camshafts have if they were designed to be as aggressive as possible.
Also, do you know what the diameter of the throttle plates in your ITBs is? Those things look sweet!

*drool* I love the ITBs! I wish that CA wasn't so harsh with their Smog laws cause this is how I would build my "X" Great build still, keep the updates coming!

got 3 boxes today!
Any updates?
endyn couldnt do the cams so I sent the cams out to bisimoto and I am waiting on them to finish it. I ended going with a custom grind more aggressive than the lvl 2 but not as aggressive as the 3's. Also the injectors should be here tuesday.

Do you plan to run the stock ECU?
I am going to go with aem.
