How do I replace cv joints on a 1991 Honda Accord?

Answer 1

Try calling your local auto parts dealer and see if they have a rebuild kit. Generly though you have to replace the entire shaft. If that's the case just make sure you get the right one with the corect spline leangth on the transmission side. If you get the new one its just a matter of removing the tire, then the calipur, then the pitman arm for the stearing, then remove the pin that holds the wheel nut on and take that off as well, then losten the top ball joint nut and remove the lower one. Using a pickle for pop the lower ball joint out being carefull not to pop the grease boot if its a self lubeing bearing. Then just swing the disc and all out of the way. You will also want to make sure that you remove the brake line bracket and don't let the calipur fall or you will have a huge mess and job ahead of you witht the brakes. Knock the old shat out using a hammer and flat non sharpend chisle or punch. Once the old one is out put the new one in carefully lining up the splines and then push or knock it all the way into place by hand or with a rubber mallet. Then just put it all back the way you took it a part and take it for a short road test. Best thing to do as well is get the book for your vehicle.
