My recommendations:

1) Raise the locking tab of the axle spindle nut, and then remove the 32-mm bolt with a breaker bar.

2) Pop out the lower ball joint using a Pitman tool while protecting the threads of the ball joint by installing a hex nut on the end.

Be careful -- don't damage differential seal while removing and inserting axle into transmission.

Rent a 32-mm socket and Pitman tool from your local auto parts store (free rental at many stores).

heres a great tutorial https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=382416
and just make sure you support the car real well as you'll be pulling and pushing a bit if you don't have access to air tools . I just did one yesterday morning in my driveway took me about an hour .

If you can't afford some tools, rent them from your local auto parts chain store.
