Oops, Axle and Ball Joint Replacement

Sorry I missed you last week, I had this video half done and didn't get a chance to finish. Well we have our 1990 Accord again, I'm getting some mileage out of this one but I don't mind cause there are still quite a few of these on the road and a few of you have claimed ownership to one of these 4th generation Accords, so enjoy. A couple of things to note, I could do a video on taking out the wishbone bolt alone, I've run into a few problems here such as a rusted bolt that won't come out of it's bushing as one example, perhaps future videos will show how to overcome this problem. I thought this one went together well despite the fact that you might be getting sick of Honda Accords, I still have more from other makes that I haven't edited or posted yet. I have more to this video as well that may show up in DVD form at one point, YouTube only gives me 10min to work with but I think that is enough to get you started and not loose interest.

Perhaps you could help by submitting questions in the form of text responses or what I would really like is a video response to something I've put out there, that would be great.

[EricTheCarGuy]

@parales03 See the video I did on Jeep steering linkage repair.

[shssweetie90]

i cannot believe someone was actually driving that or is even paying for all that work i own an accord he should just go find a different one

[EricTheCarGuy]

@shssweetie90 It's not a perfect world and never will be. Thanks for the comment.

do you know if B13's nissan sentras can be changed like this?, y mean just pulling or pushing the axle to take it out

[EricTheCarGuy]

@SmopuiM Actually I think their ball joints are bolted to the lower control arm.

@shssweetie90 There is absolutely nothing wrong with that car really. I didn't see much rust at all underneath. Where I'm from we drive the cars till the frame rots out and isn't deemed safe anymore.

My Civic is in about the same condition. The wheel shakes, the axle is bad. I can't say you didn't warn me. =] almost 10,000 miles on it in that condition & still going faithful... Advice to include would be like how much the suspension repairs should cost or at least the total amount of labor to expect to be charged for for like a ball joint + axle repair.

1:54 "Doink!" 2:43 "Whoops" Heh. Don't want to hear that later one too many times when doing car repair. ;)

Hey Eric, i own a 2000 Honda Accord ex and the same exact thing happen to my car. I am planning on fixing it myself but before i start i wanted to know if i have to change the transmission oil too or do i just add oil?

[cotaman7]

@EricTheCarGuy hey eric i tryed to put a front wheel drive axle in the gearbox on the driver side but the axle went in but about 5mm was out and tryed very hard to put the rest in but the axle would not go in any further checked driveshaft is ok does that mean their is a problem with the gearbox.
