    If you get a reman halfshaft for a 3 gen prelude or 1gen integra, does it not come with that long spline? Can it be used just like it is on this Accord?
    Nope they don't sell the intermediate shaft at any part stores. I went looking for one yesterday

    am I speaking some sort of foreign language? I never said intermediate shaft I said halfshaft, in other words the reman shaft with the two cv joints on it.
    If you have even read any of this thread you would already know you do not buy interemediate shafts at parts houses.

    I think that misunderstood and mistaken terminology is one of the biggest headaches of this particular swap.

    Why did'nt you place these side by side in the same direction they were, it would be a lot better for us to tell the difference..

    Re: B20A Intermediate shaft revealed

    regarding that picture of yours, it looks like the prelude axle is very close to a direct fit, why don't they? spline count on the hub side?
    If you would take a picture of them with both on hub side out, we could see how they look.
    I heard they pop out, like an inch or so different in length or something, maybe Carotman will come soon and reitterate.. lol

    Re: B20A Intermediate shaft revealed

    The two are really close but like Caotman said the splines on the prelude axle are slightly longer. Accord axle is at the top

    Re: B20A Intermediate shaft revealed

    As you can see, the prelude axle is a bit shorter. It could work but I didn't want to take any chances.

    The Accord axle will not go all the way in because the splines are only on half it's length. That's why I said you have to use the prelude inner joint with the Accord axle.

    Re: B20A Intermediate shaft revealed

    I found out also that my A20 exhaust has 2 holes for the intermediate shaft to mount. Does anyone think that Honda knew that this swap would be done?? Ha ha makes me wonder

    Re: B20A Intermediate shaft revealed

    So Carotman all I need to make this work is #3 from the picture with a prelude intermediate shaft and a accord passenger side axle with the prelude spline?

    Yes, all you really need from a JDM car is #3

    Usually you just need to pull on it

    Re: B20A Intermediate shaft revealed

    yeah all that exhaust bolt hole thing is for a bracket that bolts in betwen there and the block. yours has been removed, i also remove mine cause its a load of rubbish.

    bullard have you sorted out your half shaft? im pretty damn onto it when it comes to accord axles. i have ran two right hand side A20 axles on my b20a without problems. just have to swap the inners so the one with the long splines goes into the half shaft and the other one into the gear box. have you got a half shaft there?? AT or MT?

    Exactly! A18 had a hard time getting his off. Do you have one laying around?

    Re: B20A Intermediate shaft revealed

    if you want to separate the shaft from the bracket, you need to remove a circlip
