does anybody know any other honda that has the same cv joint and axle as a 88 honda accord??....and how do u get the spindle apart from the upper and lower control arm without using the actual fork thingy

 

car chics rule....

what are you trying to do? remove the axle right?

just remove the axle bolt from the rotor, undo the bolt on the bottom of the rotor, tap it with a hammer, then it should pop right out.

next youll want to undo the bolt on the "fork thingy", so you can pull it forward to take the axle out.

then just pop the axle out, careful not to pull the rubber boots apart. the bearings that are in there are covered in grease and a pain in the *** to get back together.

well hope this helps.....

 

thanks...about the car chics rule...and im not talking about the control arm im talking about the tool that your suppose to use to pull apart the lower control arm and spindle...i just need to know how to take apart the control arm and spindle without using the actual tool..or a easy way...i have all bolts out and cotter pins....and if you say the bearings are a pain to get back 2gether..you just need the hands of girl mechanic lol j/p

 

use a big ******* hammer (BFH) and hit the solid metal where the ball joint is and it will come loose .. it will take a few good hard whacks to get it but that is the best way to do it ... to get the axle out of the trans just use a big screw driver or a prybar and pry outwards and it will come loose

as far as what axles will fit on your car ... any accord from 86-89 will work ... but i recomend just buying rebiult ones ... if you were local i would get them for you at my shop discount ... 39.00 but you can get them at autozone for like 59.00

 

damn thanks its ******* hard when im not as strong as guys so it might take more than a couple of whacks for me! lol j/p
