How To Replace Driver Side CV Axle [8th Gen Honda Civic]

Welcome back to Development Division. \\ A couple weeks ago, my driver's side CV Axle had experienced catastrophic failure. This has resulted in my vehicle being non-operational. Completely damaged and unusable, I must replace the damaged driver-side CV Axle with a new part. A CV Axle is what transfers power from the transmission, to the wheels. Constant-Velocity axles are also referred to as half-shafts. These types of driveshafts are very common with FWD vehicles. The design of the CV Joint allows for a large range of motion, while maintaining strength and minimal power loss. These characteristics make the CV axle perfect for wheels that are powered and also steer. In today's video, I take you step-by-step through the procedure, and teach you how to perform this process.
