Not CV axles, that is why I thought best to ask those with experience. As to differential gear boxes, I know that very well
CV axles seem to be a pretty easy thing to do basic maintenance on

The axles are back together now and I will be installing them back into the car next week. I'm almost finished with the Version 2 PuddyMod rear cooling cover The first PM cooling cover had a larger heat sink than stock the V2 will have the large heat sink along with a larger oil capacity

^^^ Looking good w/ that fresh paint on there too.

Now you can add axle rebuilds to your resume.

Yes it is, just be sure to put the rollers back where you got each one from, that is why you see the blue and white dye. The tripod can only go on one way so you do not need to worry about inverting it by mistake.
Honda sells a rebuild kit as well if you find anything damaged, it has a new cup, boot, bands, tripod, rollers, and grease.

Thank you, used DuplaColor low gloss black engine paint, dries quick and is very forgiving to novice spray painters
