If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications. This video shows you how to install one in your 1998-2002 Honda Accord.

On the internet the torque spec for the suspension wishbone bolt is 47ft lbs, not sure which one is correct but 119 for that little bolt seems excessive

Great video. Concise yet thorough. Came apart just as described. Ordered your axle today. Thanks!

[@ScottPerratti]

That was amazing!! Thanks. Wish it wud take as long as your video!! This was direct and to the point.

[@taylorholloway7283]

2:33 when you go to remove the inboard end of the axle, you make it look easy. I've been hammering away at mine and it won't budge more than the first 3 mm. If I pull on the outboard end, I'll probably just separate the inboard joint.

[@davidsinteggy]

Yeah but what socket did you used to take the axle nut off

[@lefty5000]

Looking under my 2000 2.3L accord where your saying to hit looks like the driver side CV axle? am i missing something here? cause mine doesn't look anything like this.

[@doktar.diagnosis6706]

[@stevehamil4083]

Thank you!

[@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979]

[@kizito8888]

[@del01k_]

My car jerks when I put it from park to drive. Will this replacement help that problem?

[@lobosolitario.1065]

Excellent video you straight to the point very helpful and no trash talk . appreciate that thank you so much..

[@unebonnevie]

Notice of the damage at 2:19 when he really hammered the thing???

[@saltycreole2673]

My 2001 Honda Accord passenger side ball joint failed/sheared and the drive shaft got chewed up enough to see the universal joint. Gonna fix it myself. The car isn't worth the cost of a mechanic. Thanks for the video.

The rust chips got me laughing mad hard bc my car old but dont look old

[@BOOMER9551]

So I snapped my passenger side cv axle. Ended up buying a advanced auto CV axle had a vibration and a pull to the right. Ended up buying an O’Reilly‘s CV axle same issue. Third time I bought Raxells cv axle no more vibration but I still have a hard pool to the right. Got the alignment done and it still pulls hard to the right. Took it to Honda for them to tell me they don’t see anything causing the pull to the right?? Nothing was installed incorrectly. I need help because this pull is driving me nuts and is eating my tire now. 

[@dresnuggs]

How did u snap it, and did u fix the pull to the right ?

[@FrostUpBrains]

it could possibly be your bearing going out, i have a similar issue but it doesnt pull to the right as hard for me i suggest replacing the bearings and wheel hub and the cv axle all together

[@dougie-thugie]

Would this work for a 98 passport?

+Doug "the thug" glatt This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@mandybaker8544]

[@TYLERVUESJJ]
