Follow the below steps to replace the CV Joints on Honda Accord:
1) Raise the vehicle up with a car jack and place a jack stand under the vehicle frame. Lower the car jack so that the vehicle is sitting on the jack stand. Do not place the jack stand under the axle, since you will need that axle to be free to work on.
2) Remove the tire and take the nut off of the axle at the hub with a socket wrench, then remove the ball joint nut from the bottom of the joint and move the spindle hub out of the way.
3) Slide the trans-axle out off the transmission by pulling it straight out. The trans-axle will come right out without having to remove any pins or bolts once the spindle is out of the way.
4) Slide the new trans-axle into the transmission and thread the end of the trans-axle into the spindle hub. Reattach the nuts to the top and bottom of the ball joint to secure the hub, then place the tire back on the Accord using a tire tool.
5) Lift the car with the car jack and remove the jack stand from under the vehicle. Lower the vehicle to the ground and remove the car jack.
