Easy to replace inside / outside CV BOOTs for 93' Del Sol (auto) ?

the procedure is covered in the factory workshop manual for the 2000 civic. i seriously recommend you track that down and use it as its the most comprehensive description of what to do. i replaced the outer cv joint on a driveshaft recently and have some pics. i'll try to dig them up over the weekend and post them.

in summary though, you use a slide hammer to pull the cv joint off the outer end of the shaft, replace the boot, then replace the joint. but there's a circlip ring you need to be very careful of. the joint is a pig to get back on because of it, and if this is the factory driveshaft and the boot has been replaced before, it may not have been reassembled right rendering it impossible to get the cv joint off again and you'll need to buy a new one. [it's possible to slide the cv joint past the ring on reassembly. if this happens, the ring opens too wide past the end of the splines in the joint and the joint cannot be forced back past it again.]

if the cv joint is damaged, [makes a clacking noise as you turn] it's too late for that joint and it needs to be replaced. you can buy just the outer joint from honda, but it's not cheap. cheaper than a whole honda shaft though.

for after-market shafts, they're usually not maintainable - the cv joints are permanently fixed. but the boot outlasts the joint for those things, so it's not a problem!

when faced with boot replacement, most people simply replace the whole shaft as it's cheap [

here are the visuals on the cv joint replacement.

for the last one, these are the instructions that come with a new honda joint. note VERY CAREFULLY the diagram at the bottom and where the two slots need to align with the spring circlip between them. if this is done correctly, the shaft will disassemble again. if it's pushed too far, the spring opens up outside the end of the splines and is too large a circumference to come back out again.

when assembling the joint, use a jubilee clip to compress the circlip [just like you'd use a piston ring compressor] or you'll have the same problem assembling the joint as the disassembly problem outlined above.

again, the 2000 civic workshop manual describes the process [not all others do] and should be read before undertaking this job.
