I guess the only thing I would comment on is for this part, is it
necessary to get OEM?

A new shaft for this car would run $411.52 and a remanufactured would
run $211.44, while a brand new Cardone new shaft is roughly $100 for
each side (with a lifetime warranty). When I had to replace them on my
95 Accord and 95 Integra I went with Cardone. They have been on the
car for 3 years now without any problems (knock on wood). The only
thing that I noticed is on the metal part of the shaft there is a
little rust vs. the painted surface on the OEM ones.

Our 99 Accord is coming up next for the replacement. Hopefully the
DeWalt that you have used will work like a charm at removing the
spindle nut.
