I need to replace half shafts on 92 accord (bad cv joints).it is stock 4 banger. any advice or special knowledge will be appreciated!

 

i am having mine done right now! $45 for a rebuilt one or $90 for a used one and $50 to install it! my repair guy is awesome.......if you can find a cheap/honest repair guy theni wouldn't hassle with it! good luck

 

Thanks shocar4!

I've done this job in the past on a 94 Camry and a 93 Altima. Not a bad job if you have the tools and time, but for $50 for labor... that sounds like a good deal. I just checked with NAPA locally and the shafts are $58 a piece for new. That sounds pretty good.

I was just looking for someone who has done this replace/repair to see if there is something you should know before tackling the job. Sometimes inside knowledge will save you a lot of time and effort along with some frustration!

 

No nothing really to tell i think they are really easy as long as they give you the right half shafts, but other then that its easy dont take long at all

 

I don't think sleeper has done a half shaft change, Best you get a impack socket to take the nut loose, takes approx 400 ft lbs. I used a 30 in snap on breaker with a 5 ft pipe to break the nut. also need a pry bar, and a phenelic (sp) wood to use on the trans side to not break the case when jerk push the half shaft out. Not as easy as it is said. Get a manual or watch someone do it first... lots of muscle and proper tools. or practice at a junk yard.

 

Hmmm i work in a shop all day and do those yeah but just because its hard for you dont mean its hard for me but yeah i dont know what hell im talking about, i take it your the type of guy that gets your ****ing HEADLIGHT fluid changed hu lol

 

my apology sleeper, did not mean to offend you. Just some of us (myself) try to assit others in a helpful way to those who have never done it. for a professional like yourself,fixing cars is abreeze. for myself I try hard to learn and pass on the experience. again my apology. no offense to you
