Just a quick video showing how I replaced the driver’s side CV Shaft or CV Axle on a 2011 Acura MDX. The boot had been torn and was leaking grease. It was making some popping or clicking noises when turning sharply left. The noise is gone now and it drives nice and smooth.
The instructions that came with our aftermarket axle said to put some grease on the end of the inner shaft to help center the C-clip and that worked great and I was able to push that end into the transmission easily.
I put a very light coat of copper anti-seize on the outside axle shaft splines to help prevent it from getting stuck in the future.

The Torque Specs I found online:
80 ft lbs for the ball joint nuts and bolt
181 ft lbs for the axle nut

Tools needed:
Large Pry Bars
Pliers or diagonals
19mm wrench
22mm Socket for lug nuts
36mm Socket
1/2 Inch Impact wrench or breaker bar
Flare Nut Crows Foot 19mm to torque ball joint castle nut
Torque Wrenches
Rubber Mallet
Punch and Hammer to stake the flange nut

Thanks for watching!
