How hard is it to replace a CV joint?

Question

My 1990 Honda Accord has a torn CV boot, and makes some great, fun sounding noises when it turns. I bought a replacement part, so how hard is it to install one?

Answer 1

Depends more on if you have the tools to do it. Typically they aren't extremely hard to replace, but the front axle nut can be a pain to break loose if you don't have the proper tools.

Answer 2

It could be tough without the proper tools, I suggest if you aren't sure what you are doing then take it to a pro
