Finished replacing the input shaft bearing on my 96 CX this week. Thanks to Honda-Tech, and BauleyCivic for the tips!

- The Craftsman 3/8 technique for seperating the ball joints is GOLD! I don't know who figured that out, but it works awesome

- BauleyCivic's FAQ on input shaft bearing replacement was a huge help in giving me the confidence to do this, and getting me through without screwing anything up. I was thankful to learn from his experience and well written guide. I wouldn't have thought to replace the input shaft seal either!

Thanks all!
Cheers,
Craig

 

Way to suck up noob! J/K. I'm glad everything worked out for you!

Yes, to bauley and his info
to the ratchet knuckle pop method too (I think a couple people thought of it all at around the same time)

But...thread reported for having no tech

 

Well since I don't know what the hell you're talking about with the 3/8th thing, please add some tech by telling me what exactly you guys are talking about. I hate ball joints.

 

Glad that writeup was some help
