Accord L4-2156cc 2.2L SOHC (1991)
Replace the noisy outboard driveshaft joint.
1.
Remove the driveshaft as described in Section 16 of the appropriate service manual.
2.
Cut the two boot bands and the outboard joint boot, then remove them from the driveshaft.
3.
Wipe off the grease to expose the outboard joint. Measure and record distance "A" (from the splined end of the driveshaft to the inner race) as a
reference for reassembly.
4.
Carefully clamp the driveshaft in a vise with the outboard joint facing down. Clamp the driveshaft tight enough to prevent it from moving but not
so tight as to damage or distort it.
5.
Position a trash can underneath the driveshaft to catch the outboard joint.
6.
Place the head of a brass mallet on the inner race of the outboard joint. Using a large steel ball peen hammer, strike the head of the brass mallet
sharply two or three times.
