I want to replace the front axle on the drivers side with the cv boot and all. I am mechanically inclined, but know nothing about this and dont want general info. I am interested in A: Special tools one wouldnt have on hand and a simple this is how easy or hard it is! Thanks for the help, I think this is probally one of those things that one could do instead of paying someone. And im broke and can afford the parts but need to know if its its even worth f**king with?

 

Its pretty simple (atleast on a rsx it is and should be similar). The hardest part is getting a socket big enough to remove the axle nut. Air tools would be recommended. After that is pretty straight forward. All you need is a pry bar and basic tools although air tools really speed up the process. Another thing is getting a torque wrench to torque the axle nut properly. I know on the type-s its 181 ftlb and 134 on the base. IDK about the ep3 though
