Default cv axle

Can anyone tell me how to change my CV axle on my 91 Integra LS. Don't have the money to pay the shop down the street to fix it this time

You need to remove the wheel, undo the axle spindle nut with a big ass breaker bar, remove the suspension fork and the lower ball joint. Pull the hub back and pop the axle out of it. They use a screwdriver to pry the axle out of the tranny. Pop new one in and reverse the order of steps.

Oh, I forgot that you need to drain the tranny fluid beforehand.

because tranny fluid will leak out of the hole the axle goes into,...and it probably needs changed anyways
