How to I change the cv axle on my 1998 honda civic ex?

Get yourself a shop manual like a Chilton's or Haynes before attempting this. You will have to remove the large nut in the center of you hubs, VERY TIGHT, along with tie rod end, upper ball joint, brake caliper, and on some one side will require the removal of a center bearing on one of the axles. good luck

Go here http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...801f558b.jspIt described a Nissan, but the process is very similar faor all fwd cars. You need a decent air wrench (with air compressor) to get the hub nut off, then it's not all that hard from there.

remove the center bearing nut and diconnect the lower ball joint but the axle may be pressed in and in that case see a certified technition to do the job it should cost 250.00 to replace you axle good luck

Get a manual it can't be explained it's better to see what your doing, go to hondahookup and download a manual off their site you'll need to register 1st but well worth it if your getting a free manual.
