I told a friend of mine I'd look at replacing the driver's side axle on her 87 Civic Si.

I've never done an axle replacement, though I'm fairly handy with the tools. What are the steps to changing the axle? Any caveats I should know about? (IE: I've read the axle nut needs to be chaned... etc)

Also, what are some good replacement brands for axles?

Thanks a bunch!
