Here's what i got so you have an idea about what im working with...the block is 94 jdm b16, trans is 99 usdm si b16 and the head...dont think it matters but is 00 si as well. Oh, and the car is 93 civic cx hatch.
I just got the car and after driving it home, 2 days later decided to go for a little drive just to warm the car up to do a compression test and I get 2 blocks from my house and I start hearing the clunk noise, so now i'm here, changing the axles, driver side first b/c thats where the noise is coming from.
Alright...first question is where do I take the axle out from? Do I pry it right from where it goes into the tranny? or from where the axle goes into the long metal rod? Is that metal rod part of the axle? I have included pictures for a better idea about whats going on:
All help is greatly appreciated...if u want more pics just ask...i'll take them..im trying to get this done so i can get the car on the road.
Also, what axles do I use when I replace these? I would assume that i can use the 99-00 si axles, but im not sure. The axles in there now are 92-95 del sol w/b16 axles, according to the previous owner. Do i have to use the del sol axles or can i use 99-00 si axles? Thank you again for any help.

It comes out at the tranny. The best way I've found is to pry on the bottom a little, rotate 1/4 turn, pry some more, and eventually it just pops the fuck out.

Oh and you have to undo the two bolts right below the oil filter.

Alright I got the axle out, now...
didn't realize you weren't going to be able to read what i wrote so
1. On the first arrow, on the left, it says that i bent the ring when i was trying to pry it out of the transmission and now it just kinda flops around...is that going to be a problem when i reinstall it?
2. The second arrow on the right...is that where i pry the axle from the intermediate shaft? Is that where the new axle goes in?
3. the axles in the car now are from 92-95 del sol w/b16, am i going to have to use the same axles if i wanna use that intermediate shaft or can i use 99-00 si axles?
