only the driver side will click into place, the passenger side slides into place and is bolted on at the center bearing bracket.

I usually put the nut onto the axle end and bang it into place with a mallet. I also recommend taking the clip from the old axle and put it onto the new one. back when I had my crx I had issue with axle popping out so i made it a habbit to use the old factory clip..
