Oops, Axle and Ball Joint Replacement
Sorry I missed you last week, I had this video half done and didn't get a chance to finish. Well we have our 1990 Accord again, I'm getting some mileage out of this one but I don't mind cause there are still quite a few of these on the road and a few of you have claimed ownership to one of these 4th generation Accords, so enjoy. A couple of things to note, I could do a video on taking out the wishbone bolt alone, I've run into a few problems here such as a rusted bolt that won't come out of it's bushing as one example, perhaps future videos will show how to overcome this problem. I thought this one went together well despite the fact that you might be getting sick of Honda Accords, I still have more from other makes that I haven't edited or posted yet. I have more to this video as well that may show up in DVD form at one point, KZfaq only gives me 10min to work with but I think that is enough to get you started and not lose interest.
Perhaps you could help by submitting questions in the form of text responses or what I would really like is a video response to something I've put out there, that would be great.

Replaced everything fairly easily. Watching ur vids along with others gave me the confidence to do it myself.

Not too expensive of a repair, you just gotta shop around for a reliable shop that takes into account the core of the old cv on your bill and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg for labor. On my 2004 Subaru Outback, it cost me $450 to get both lower ball joints changed, as well as both my front cv axles. (Central Michigan location)

Yeah.... You still would've saved yourself at least $300 by doing it yourself. If you only pay for parts and do the labor yourself than sure, you'll come out the other side sweaty and dirty, but you'll still have saved yourself sometimes an assload of money in the process. I get that it's not for everyone though.

If anyone feels that where you attach the wishbone needs to be in a neutral (on the ground) position here's what you do: Just use you jack under the lower control arm to bring it up to neutral. That bolt is much easier to tighten this way rather than when it's on the ground, that is, for guys like me who don't have a lift. Great video!

R&R on that front lower ball joint was one of the toughest tasks I've done so far on my 04 TL. The dealer service manual doesn't have a section for this, but it is a separate item & can be replaced. I used a 10-ton press to get the old one out, and as for the new one I applied GP grease on both contact surfaces. Kept hitting with a small hammer semi-gently (1.5 hours or so) it finally seated.

@GorgonTheMagicMan Yea, that is the preferred method. There was a time where I just replaced the bad joint but to be honest it's actually cheeper to replace the axle these days. Thanks for your comment.

I haven't found that one video, yet. Was that on Cruella's DeVille?

@96HondaEX5Speed Yes some you can pass through, some you can not, also sometimes you can't get the wishbone bolt out so you need to do it that way or remove the inner joint. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the advice on the wheel bearing gap issue. I'm doing the captive rotors next and would like to know if both of the axle nuts have one LH thread and one RH thread or if they're both the same.
