In this video, I replaced a broken front CV axle shaft on a 2007 Chevy Silverado. This process is similar on Sierra, Tahoe, and Suburban vehicles as well.
Torque specs used in the video:
Inner CV joint flange bolts w/ 15mm head (qty 6) - 58 ft/lbs or 79 Nm
Lower shock absorber bolt w/ 15mm head (qty 2) - 37 ft/lbs or 50 Nm
Upper shock absorber nuts w/ 18mm head (qty 3) - 37 ft/lbs or 50 Nm
Wheel lug nuts w/ 22mm head (qty 6) - 140 ft/lbs or 190 Nm
CV Axle shaft hub nut w/ 35mm or 36mm head (qty 1) - 177 ft/lbs or 240 Nm

Thanks for the bonus footage, was interesting

@AKJeeper 2 года назад

The last one I had to replace was because the axle shaft snapped right at the spines for the inner race. Stock truck, stock tires. Didn’t appear to have been abused or used in 4x4 on dry pavement.

Thank for the video bro much help

@Chevyguy287 Месяц назад

That is the best way to remove a cv axle/joint..just remove the strut and you have tons of room. And you don't have to worry about removing your upper ball joint on the control arm. Great job!!

@AKJeeper Месяц назад

It’s my preferred method on these trucks. I know there’s ways to do it without dropping the strut, but everyone has their preferences. Thanks for commenting!

@whitecastle3032 Месяц назад

I have a lifted 09 and am about to do the wheel hubs and the cvs on both sides. Do you think I can get the cvs out by just removing the sway bar link? I really don't want to remove the struts if I don't have to.

@radomark408 21 день назад

@@whitecastle3032 yes that should work. I am lifted as well and did the same on my front end overhaul 2 years ago.

@whitecastle3032 21 день назад

@radomark408 I did it already. I didn't have to remove anything on the passenger side and had plenty of room. On the drivers, I removed the sway bar link, and it was a lot tighter of a fit.on the Drivers side it was tough to get in the cv axle

@Spartan-Of-Truth 2 месяца назад

I’m breaking into my wheel well tomorrow to start collecting tools needed to get to the CV axle. Just gonna do it like that. I don’t have much.z

@gsmithy7995 Год назад

Curious I’m about to get out there and put this in but wondering if I’m going to have a problem there is a like metal splash guard or something near the hub

@mynes53 2 года назад

Dammit i needed that boot 🤣

@mintac3672 Год назад

Quick question....I have a 2008, do these years come with an ABS ring on the axle shaft that I have to knock off the old and place on the new?

@AKJeeper Год назад

The tone ring on these trucks is found inside the wheel bearing hub assembly. So there is no tone ring on the axle shafts on these trucks.

@ronneyg33 Год назад

Why isn't my strut coming off easy? Feel pressure going down

@gsmithy7995 Год назад

That Napa part lookin awfully shiny compared to what I was accidentally given instead of the 121$ warranty replacement I should have got at advanced instead when I called to see if the had one in before I dismantled the tank guy said I don’t have any anywhere local or warehouses but I can order you a factory oem no charge

@otakusnake1884 Год назад

What was the sound before I'm looking into possibly changing one and this bound up going down the road

@AKJeeper Год назад

Here's a link to a video on a different GM truck (in this case, a friend's truck if you're wondering about my commentary in the video). This truck also had a broken CV joint. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1fRcxq5a6Rg.html

@donovanmontgomery921 Год назад

my axel will spin, even with a breaker bar through the lugs, think its broken inside of the boot any advise ?

@AKJeeper Год назад

It is common for these trucks to break the joint inside the boot. Sounds like it is time for you to replace the axle on your truck.

@mikemulberry2296 2 месяца назад

So do you replace both at the same time or just as they go out !

@AKJeeper 2 месяца назад

On my personal rigs, I replace in pairs. On customer vehicles, I give them the option. Most elect to replace just the faulty ones.

@madman9833 Год назад

What happens if you don’t take off the shocks or struts?

@Nulldp2zy Год назад

Nothing. It wasn't necessary.

@TheArthrighteous 11 месяцев назад

Wondering this too. I’d rather not remove the struts and just shimmy the new cv axle in. Here’s to hoping…

@garycantrell2307 6 месяцев назад

Yea my problem on my 2007 someone put level kit on the bottom shaft won't drop down without removing the strut

@Amizori 8 месяцев назад

What are the specs for torque on everything ? TY in advance

@AKJeeper 8 месяцев назад

The torque specs are listed in the video description...but here they are in case it's somehow not showing up: Torque specs used in the video: Inner CV joint flange bolts w/ 15mm head (qty 6) - 58 ft/lbs or 79 Nm Lower shock absorber bolt w/ 15mm head (qty 2) - 37 ft/lbs or 50 Nm Upper shock absorber nuts w/ 18mm head (qty 3) - 37 ft/lbs or 50 Nm Wheel lug nuts w/ 22mm head (qty 6) - 140 ft/lbs or 190 Nm CV Axle shaft hub nut w/ 35mm or 36mm head (qty 1) - 177 ft/lbs or 240 Nm

@gsmithy7995 Год назад

Did you buy the 600$ oem version?

@AKJeeper Год назад

Negative. The owner wanted the truck back on the road ASAP, and it's an easy enough part to replace in the event there's an issue with the part. My local NAPA has taken good care of me over the years, on the few instances I've had issues with their parts.

@blackcatgitch6948 Год назад

@@AKJeeper I don’t blame you, I got one by accident I came in for a warranty part and I was told they would have to order it and upgrade to a part straight from the factory and I got a peak at the price as everyone tried not to give me the part when it arrived
