Experienced mechanics only?
Hi, I have a 95 accord ex. I need to replace the cv boots on the front axel and i found out I can order the parts I need for only 50 dollars while taking it to the honda repair shop they want to charge me $250 for both sides. I am experienced but I've never taken off the wheel hubs before. I've built turbo kits and installed stuff before so I dont thnk itll be that hard. Do you know a website that would give any instructions and do you have any tips? I also want to ditch the stock airbox and while using the same oem plastic intake pipe I want to hook up a free flowing cone filter with a 3" pipe, My engine has 194,000 miles(i know, its a shit load) would it be ok to push more air through?
Or should I just replace the whole drive axel?
Thanks guys, I know the obvious answer. But I'm a broke college student. Besides I love working on my own car.
CV axles are pretty easy if your mechanical.Just get a good manual and follow the steps.The first one will probably take you 1.5 hours but after that you will be doing them in less than 30 minutes. The common snags are the shaft may hang up in the transmission because of the expander clip.It just takes a little pull/prying to pop it out and when installing the shaft make sure it pops back in all the way.Be sure to scribe marks around where the big bolts hold the strut to the wheel assembly before you take it loose because this can affect the alignment if you reinstall a little bit off.As for the upgrades do lots and lots of reading up from different places before you get set to make any changes.
Yes the whole remanufactured axle is cheaper and quicker to do.Its your only choice if you do it at home.For the people who say take it to a shop,that's right if your not mechanically inclined and don't have sufficient tools but I thought this was a place to share knowledge and help people do things for themselves who WANT to.
