$170 is a good deal if you have no goddamn clue what you're doing. If you want to do it, download a Honda factory manual. You'll need a good pair of Vise-Grips and a big f'ing cold chisel if its an inner tie rod.

Do you happen to have a URL for factory manuals?

no... the posting of downloadable manuals is against forum policy. The manuals are copy-written. If you want a factory manual, go to Helm Inc. and order one for your car. They are worth the money.
