Dude, I followed every step of this video, and words can’t explain how happy I am that I actually did this.

Nicely done video. Just the right amount of talking and doing. Perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. Subscribed. My new axle just arrived and I'll be doing this today on my 2002 Accord 4-cyl, AT.

No hiccups. How rare is that on a car that old. Haha. Thanks for the upload. Happy Holidays!

About to do the same job on my '99 Acura CL, which is basically the same car. I pretty well know what I'm doing but it's always nice to see the operation done before getting started... excellent how-to vid!

I hardly subscribe to any videos but because of the right amount of talk and well done video i did subscribe 👍

Yep. Picked up the axle today. I'll be doing this after dinner tonight. Excellent video. all the other videos have the mechanic taking the suspension assembly apart at the top, which looks much harder.

Really like the way you edited this video, all the right info shown and concise. Mine was clicking and I believe it broke on the highway, had to get towed. Put it in gear and it is just grinding and not moving the car. I'll be doing this job soon.

Really excellent video, I echo all the good things said by other people. A bit of a caveat; these cars are almost 20 years old and if they have aged in the Northeast, some of these bolts will not be removable with a hand wrench. I recommend hitting all of them with some rust perpetrator and letting it sit a few minutes. The cotter pins will be impossible to remove, you'll have to cut them off and hope you can remove them after you unbolt. In my case the long bolt that goes through the knuckle could not be fully removed, even with air tools because the threads will have rusted away. I got it off by unbolting it, putting a lubricant on the threads and working the nut back and forth about 4 or 5 times gently to cut new threads in the bolt. Don't force it, of you'll break the bolt. Also, you'll need a slim rod to tap it out of the hole. A small scissors jack is helpful to push the lower control arm up if you're doing the job by yourself. When you're done, take some brake cleaner and clean off the rotors. Also, the grease gets everywhere. Put down a drop cloth.

Well done. I admire the way you did not completely remove the strut fork. I learned something today!

Thanks for this video. You did forget to add the part where you disconnect the bottom bolt out. I couldn't figure out why the axle wouldn't pop out as easy as it did for you. :) Also, my passenger side was wayyyy harder to do than the drivers side. I did the drivers side in the dark in 30 min after spending 4 hours doing the drivers side. The axle nut would not come off!! I went and bought an impact wrench, a low grade compressor. It didn't work. I suggest get one that can handle 250lbs. This one only did 120.. Could barley tighten the other bolts. I took it to my local mechanic and gave him $20 under the table to have him loosen the axle nut.. Thank again!! You saved me $900..

Very well done, concise, to the point, not the usual "hey guys, how you doing" long drawn out commentary! I'll subscribe!

Did the swap today. The only thing I would recommend is that you put both sides of the front of the car on jack stands. Otherwise, when you try to button it all back up, you'll be fighting with the sway bar to get the ball joint and strut fork back in. Thanks for this video again!

Extremely helpful, gave me the confidence to do this at home and save $50 to pay someone for labor

Well done, made it look as uncomplicated as possible and you didn't use a lift which is were most of the back yard mechanics are at-- good video/audio work👍🏼

Much easier process than others have shown. Thanks. I'll be doing this tomorrow and I found your video very helpful

I love this video. Perfect explanation and no unnecessary info, with great video, thank-you!

Sweet video dude. I bought coil overs for my 2013 Accord and went to put them in, but unbeknownst to me I need to remove the axle nut to drop the wheel hub low enough to remove the stock struts completely. I've never removed one before so I didn't want to mess with it without any knowledge. After watching this all I need it an impact gun to take it off and and put it back on. Thanks dude!

Thank you for the video. Very informative and straight forward. Would have liked a bit more explanation on certain things but otherwise followed your instructions and worked out good.

Excellent advice...we just completed a cv front right axle, new rotors and pads...but I am going to buy or rent an air tool kit for the next job...Thanks very much...Peter, Paul (and Mary who drives the car most of the time)

Great video thanks, I have to tackle this project myself on my 2002 Accord. This video is awesome straight to the point no extra fluff great job

very well explained. Thanks for the insight.

Doesn't get better than this..... Appreciate you for taking time to help people like me ... Great Job>!!!!!

Thanks so much for the video! That axle shaft came out of the transmission quite easily. It must not have a C clip holding it inside the transmission like my Saturn did.

Good job man. You made it look easy

I SEE IT A LOT VIDEO..RELACING AXLE ..THIS IS THE BEST...FASTER AND EXCELLENT...............CONGRAT.

this is great! thanks I'm going to do this tomorrow

I might be 6 years late 😂 but getting a puller to remove that first nut on the suspension would have been the way to go

Nicely done video easy to understand thank you

I watched many videos before I replaced the half shafts on my 1999 Honda accord. Your video is the best I have seen and i use it for my main reference. I really like your camera technique, what camera did you use and how did you mount it? Thanks for making such a great video.

Great video short and sweet right to the point thank you sir

Nice instructional video but it's never super easy LOL. I've changed probably 50 Honda driveshafts in my life never had one "super" easy..

Awesome video! Right to the point! Thank you for taking the time to make it!

this is great I will do this some time next week, this guy killed me on my rear muffler by charging me $150 I could have done in only few bucks,

Thanks man. You saved me a lot of money!

im jealous as to how easily you got the hub to go on the new axle... for anyone judging him for using the hammer so forcefully, trust me you'll need it

Good video.

Thank you for the video, like your head mounted camera.

Great video much appreciated, I noticed you didn’t hammer in the CV axle, I’ve seen a lot of people do it with a rubber plastic mallet. How did you get around doing that? I just had to redo this job because my axle isn’t properly seated even though I’ve hammered the heck out of it it always has About 2 a millimeters of Clearanceclearance

Good Video man thanks!!

Very helpful video. Thank you!

easy as 123 nice vid.

Great Video Very in Detailed.

Sweet & to the point. GREAT!

Thank you

Thank you and easy to follow! Give me hope that I can do it!

Great video, thanks! How much torque should I put on that control arm stud/nut??

I beat and beat on that lower ball joint till I destroyed the castle nut! I can't get enough force on the bolt so I'm going to go get a ball joint joint seperator

Nailed it bro good job

just found out front right axel is busted what tools would I need if I don't have the air compressor gun to take off all the nuts and bolts? great video very helpful

Mine arrived yesterday... Will be easy cuz all my suspension is about a week old. 😆

great video. thank you

Brilliant!

Thank you for your video. I might have to change the RH CV Axle (passenger side) on my 02 Accord because I saw little oil leaking the CV Axle joining the transmission but the rubber boots are OK no damage. Is there an O ring or seal at the transmission ? If so, that would be the reason to cause oil leaking. Please advise. Thank you.

I have a 2001 Honda Accord and I can’t for the life of me get it to ride smooth any recommendations it shakes like crazy while driving especially when you hit 60 it has new tires

hi. you mentioned about the "Torque Value", is there any to tighten up the center bolt??? Awesome and very helpful vid 👍

Might as well do bushings and shocks /struts while it's all apart, it will feel like a new ride

Very helpful video Ty

Thanks for the video... Great info Did you use a hub puller at all in this repair or just take the knuckle-to-rotor assembly off?

nice video... didn't state if an alignment is required... advice?

I need to see what to do when replacing a 1/2 shaft back into the Jack shaft and does not want to go all the way in

Hahaha 😂😂😂 wow just wow. That axle nut just came off so easy. I have an impact too. No luck. Might need a torch smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

Thank you.

Thanks for this great video! I just want to make sure that when you say "If car clicks when turning right at low speed, inspect/replace left CV axle", since my car only makes noise when I turn right, so I only need to check and replace the driver side cv axle, is that right? Thanks!

You must not be must rust where you're at. Too easy. Lol. Great video though.

thank you really help

When you put the strut fork back on, do you torque to a specific spec? Or did you just say "good enough" with the impact? Also, is there a reason why you didn't load the suspension geometry before tightening the strut fork? I believe it's recommended you do so to avoid stressing the control arm bushings. In any case, great video - I will be using it as a guide for my own repair

Question, I replaced both CV axles on my 2001 Honda Accord, the drivers side won't seal up into the tranny. I have taken it out a few times and finally put in another one and still isn't setting (sealing) up. Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks

This video does tell the horror story I went through,lol

Really stupid question....i have 98 lx accord and i was wondering can i use an cv axle for a dx model in place of getting one specifically for an lx model??

Would you need to get an alignment after installing for both sides?

Rockauto > Amazon all day. Otherwise great vid.

will it be the same exact thing if it's a civic....dont know if there would be a difference

As "Jeff Yeo" ask you some time age and I ALSO WILL ASK why didn't you load the suspension geometry be for tightening the Strut Fork? I didn't see that in your video and Now I have a little wheel hop coming from the same side that the Axle was replaced from "right side". Need HELP, whats next

Thanks so Mach you help me gracias

Is it the same set-up for the driver side? Also my Accord is a 98 LX 2.3l is it still the same thing? Thanks

Do you need to do an alignment after doing CV joints?

Nice Video! I have a 98 Accord EX, w 5 Speed Manual Trans. 98 was first year for this bod style. HAVE NOT been able to find a Pass Side CV Axel of Correct Length !!!! those for 98 are 25" long compressed. Those for 97s are 24 7/16ths. Which is correct? Have Vin if needed. thanks.

What if it clicks while going from a stop and turning both ways?

my problem is im hearing a humming noise coming from the passenger side took the wheel off noticed the cv boot was ripped and dried out put im worried that if i replace it i will still hear the noise because the integrity of the half shaft might be ruined?

the video looked very helpful but would it be the same on a honda civic 2013? i need to change the control arm and axle on the passenger side. thankies again

Thx

thanks!!

Is it the same on both sides?

The information was useful, but the camera action made it hard for me to see what was going on is some cases - like removing the inner end of the axle (what were you prying against?) - not to mention the movement making me dizzy just watching. In my opinion stationary cameras work better.

Would you save on labor costs if the struts and brakes need replacing?

Hey there. I've just bought an Accord and I'm experiencing a lot of shaking while accelerating. When I lifted the car there's no play in the wheels in any direction, and the boots of the ball joints look healthy. I raised up the whole front and spun the wheels by hand, revealing that the whole axle has some wobble - but not just on one side - both axles wobble (passenger side more than the drivers). I assume from doing some searching around that it's the inner CV axle joint that has gone bad, but is there a possible underlying issue if both inner joints on both sides have gone bad? The flex pipe before the cat also has a rip. Motor mount? Bad transmission? Or just bad luck? Thanks!

You should of said it was for a 5 lug accord. I watched for a few minutes the realized it wasn't the same as my 99 accord. I have a 4 lug

hello I am replacing the axel PLUS the part that connects into the transmission is there a link that you have or can lead me to show that part as well?

what if the axles falling out of the half shaft on the driver side

thank you i had both sides done on my 1998 honda accord ex and now the transmission is slipping what did i do wrong?

I'm currently removing axle nut and was curious if there's a cotter pin of some sort because I do not see one but not sure if that's the reason I can't break the nut lose

Axles won't lock in on 99 honda civic what could be the problem

after doing both sides of my 1999 accord v6 my abs is now malfunctioning. you push the breaks and when the car comes to an almost stop the abs kicks in and you can hear/feel it..what went wrong?

Did you grease the new CV axle prior to installing?

is there any reason the control arm ball joint wont pop out with hammer? or do i just need to go get a ball joint separator ?

What would you charge for this ? I need to get it done

Does this also apply for the passenger side as well?

Please help me, my accord 2006 A/T the left front tire fell apart from the upper ball joint, now it’s really hard to move the knuckle in order to align it with the ball joint, I can feel the axle is shot inside, when i go through parking, reverse and drive it feels like the transmission is kicking and the axle moved itself forward, that’s why is really hard to align the knuckle with the upper ball joint. could be this the transmission or axle? Thank you

good NO BS

What about the axle seals on both sides? Replace or no?
