Just don't go banging on the end of the lower ball joint's stud with a hammer or you may have to replace it. If you do, there's a DIY for that on my civic page. Hell, 95% of what you're doing is in my signature below, but there's a **** ton of other stuff on that page, too.
I repeat do not do this....im talking from experience. Its sucks when you replaced both axles and everything is back on except the lower ball joint nuts and the DAMN thing wont screw on due to a hammer and a very fustrated DIY''er trying to remove the lower ball joint from teh lower control arm. Take your time when doing this step..it will be a lot easier and cheaper for you. $50+ each for a lower ball joint from Honda. GOOD LUCK
