Re: cv boot replacement? (jimmy o.)
Here's two guides on doing it (one is just shaft replacement, the other covers boot replacement)

Go to O'Reiley's and buy brand new, not rebuilt axles for $58.00 a piece and spare yourself the extra trouble and the money to buy boots, bands, and proper Cv inboard and outboard grease.
PLUS the axles carry a lifetime warranty.
BTW you can replace the boots, but kits from honda are like $40.00 a piece - see why my axle suggestion makes more sense?

Normally I'd never suggest O'Reiley's, Auto Zone, or the likes for Honda parts, but the O'Reiley's axles are actually really nice, cheap, and have a great warranty.
Specify ABS axles if you want to, but I think recently all they offer is ABS since you can run ABS axles with the ABS ring in non-ABS cars with no ill effects.
Call you local O'Reiley's and check the price - they might have to "order in" brand new ones, but it's worth the extra day to get new over remans IMO.
