Recently my passenger axle broke and I was thinking if I can replace an axle on a civic, then the LGT should be just as easy. Well it sure was.
I used the article below to help me (Thanks Inigo Montoya):

TIP:
To separate the lower ball joint from the suspension arm, use some kind of an extension or socket (5/8) to wedge between it and the arm, then drop the arm really fast from the jack and it will slowly but surely separate it.

The new axle looked different as it was missing the flat shields on both ends....still worked fine for me. I think it will leak a little bit of transmission fluid, but it is no biggie. I will periodically check and top off if needed.
