This video will show you how to replace the cv axles (driver and passenger side) on a 99' - 03' Acura TL. These shafts are also used on the 01' - 03' Acura CL and the 98' - 02' Honda Accord. The axle shaft nuts are torqued on at around 180 lbs and using a power impact driver tool to remove them is recommended; otherwise, a 3' or longer breaker bar tool would be needed to relieve the tension on these nuts. The passenger side axle does not connect directly to the transmission but to an intermediary shaft. This shaft runs from the transmission to a bracket and bearing mounted to the engine. This drive shaft concept is used in most front wheel drive cars in order to reduce torque steer by keeping the cv shaft lengths equal.
If the CV boot had recently split, you can consider replacing the boot with a new boot. A video link on that procedure is provided at the end of this video.
