i've replaced my axles a couple of times before, and it's pretty simple. u can look up the instructions in autozone's website, if ur model/year is available there. at least for my 95 accord, i had to borrow a spindle nut socket from autozone, and everything else was straightforward. if ur replacement halfshaft is remanufactured (carquest, etc.) make sure the dimensions are correct (not just the length from end to end). i installed one before that popped out of my transaxle while i was driving.
