CV axle replacement

I got the Honda MTF, damn almost 30 bucks for 3 quarts. I'm gonna do the swap on it. That and make a diy also or at least try.

Its not THAT difficult w/ the right tools. But you don't necessarily need impact tools, although that would help a ton.

what you need:
-36mm axle nut socket
-2 ft. breaker bar and a long (3ft) pipe to slide over the breaker bar
-ball joint separator, not a pickle fork, those ruin your boots. Harbor freight has them for like 15 bucks
-jack
-prybar to slide axle out or a long/wide flathead screwdriver

that should be it, I've done it about 4 times now, since Checker axle boots rip prematurely, So i can do it in about an hour's time, including cleaning up all the CV grease.

If you can, buy either EMPI axles or Honda OEM. OEM is pricey but you'll most likely never have to replace it again, so think about that and all the time you could be saving buy going the OEM route.
