think the CV joint is bad. I've seen rebuilt axles for not much more so I might just do the whole thing. I actually don't know much but I've done all things like valve adjustments, distributor, and brakes by reading forums and guides. This however seems to be a bit more difficult

get the axle for that year lude with an H22, it might even be the same across the board, just make sure they are axles for the vtec engine. if you go with autozone or similar they come with a lifetime warranty

It's not difficult. You just need a 36mm socket (preferably an impact) for the axle nut. You can do it with a decent impact gun or a big breaker bar. Everything is pretty straight-forward.
