Default 4th gen Axle/Driveshaft install??

does anyone have a write up on this?? my cv boot on my passenger side is ripped so I just bought a new axle and I am going to install it.. does anyone know the steps to do this?

its the passenger side non abs manual car..

Also i am assuming that I have to remove the axle nut.. does anyone know the size of socket required for this?

Also I think maybe the lowerball joint has to come off to do this right? is it pressed in?? do i need a ball joint fork to sepereate it, similar to an upper balljoint?

thanks

thanks for the write up sounds easy enough..

its a 36mm bolt on the axle by the way.

also I was talking to a buddy and he said you do not need to go through all the troubble of removing the ball joint.. he said since the honda upper control arms do not have that metal cross piece like say an integra control arm, that you can just unbolt it from uptop to get enough room and play to get the axle out its much easier..

I will let you guys know how this goes.. doesnt sound too tough.
