Default replacing cv axle soon, 97 2.2L

Hey guys, I am replacing my driver's side cv axle soon in auto class tomorrow, wondering if there is anything to look out for in the process.

I replaced both axles in my 97 Accord earlier this year.

Did some research and bought EMPI axles online, which are very good quality.

The hardest part of the job was getting the 36mm axle nuts off, actually had to cut one side off with a metabo.

Once I got the nut off and popped the lower ball joint out, I removed the lower fork nut and was able to swing the rotor assembly out of the way and install the new axle.

Glad overall I did the job myself and saved a few $$$$$
