I've been collecting information on doing the exact thing (but then on
a 95 integra). The following is not from actually doing it, but just
reading about it:

Apparently, the C-clip that sits at the end of the axle tends to drop
where it gets into the way. The suggestion is to hold it in place with
a little dab of grease, just long enough so you can seat it properly.

Again, have never done this on a Honda, so am just collecting info at
the moment. Perhaps others have other suggestions.
