First, I have a seroius question. When replacing the CV axle on a 1995 Accord, does one require the purchase (rental) of a special hub bolt removal socket? I know I did when I did the CV axle in my '93 Taurus some years back, but the '95's left axle is clicking so I'm going to be attempting this repair fairly soon. The right side was repaired just before I bought it.

My '91 Accord has been sitting ever since the front brake lockup incident, but I did make some progress on it today...progressing towards the day when I will be rid of the cursed thing. I FINNALY got the car dealership I bought it from (back in May)to admit that they 'lost' the title and file for a new one at their expense. So, in about two weeks, I'll actually have some legal paper work so I can get rid of it. I've given up on fixing it, every time I try to improve it, it takes another turn for the worst. Maybe the next owner will have better luck. I'm selling it with full disclosure of its known problems, just FYI. I'm not in the buisness of screwing people over by covering up defects...although if I were able to cover up a surge from 850 to 3500 RPMs without sinking any of my no-money into it, that'd be pretty damn cool.

Anyway, here are some pics of my Accords. Yes, my 1995 is wrecked on the other side, I'll post pics of the damage later. But, this will at least show you guys the cars I've been talking about on here.
