Default cv axle

I have a 95 del sol my boots cracked, i replaced one right away but the other has been open for awhile so i am looking to either replace it myself or just take it in, is it worth paying 60 for the cv axle and do the labor myself or should i take it in?

They'll probably charge you about $150 with parts and labor. You decide.

You can totally do it yourself.

Here is an awesome method for the lower ball joint too: https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/popping-front-lower-balljoints-other-random-observations-887859/

I use it everytime.

That is a very good write up! Changing an axle is very easy if you are even slightly mechanically inclined.
