Thanks guys for the advice. "really messy and uncomfortable and hard work"
doesn't sound like the kind of thing that I want to do myself.

This would be the first time I've ever sent this car to a mechanic. Any advice
where to take the car -- recommended Honda mechanics or service shops in the
Redwood City area?

Thanks again,

My old Honda Civic is making popping or cracking sounds when I give it gas
when the steering wheel is turned. I suspect this is the CV joints starting to
go bad.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether this sounds like a reasonable
diagnosis, and if so, how hard it is to replace the CV joints. Is it a few
hours, a full day, or a weekend job? Does it require special tools and
dexterous hands that can fit into tiny spaces, or is it pretty normal stuff?

Thanks,
