Great Video! I really needed this information so I don't have to figure it out as I go tomorrow. I'm guessing it will be very much like the 2014 CRV I will be doing. The details and clear views have given me an excellent preview of what is to come. Thank You!
I don’t know if you noticed, but the original OEM axel that you took out had a counter balance around the shaft and the aftermarket shaft you installed didn’t have one. I mention this because I have learned on a 2014 C-RV that it will most likely never balance out and ride smooth if you don’t use an OEM balanced axel’s.
Great video, what I always do, is I apply a lite coat of all-purpose grease to where friction or fittings are, to keep it from seizing for unforeseen future repairs, also to my lug nuts esle well thanks for sharing.
You don't need to separate the knuckle from the upper ball joint? In this video, looks like he only disconnects the lower ball joint. In other videos, both the upper ball joint and outer tie rod ball joint are separated. According to the manual, they indicate separating the lower ball joint and stabilizer link.
How do you know if the new axle is seated correctly? I installed one just like this but after installing the new axle I can pull it back out with my hand. Should it lock in?
How do I lock it in I put it in place it went in all the way the spindles lined up otherwise it wouldn’t go in I even hit it on the other end with a hammer to hammer and if I tug on it, it comes out.
Never hit a hardened steel surface with another hardened steel surface...you could get a steel splinter through your safety glasses , which I see you aren't wearing, and into your eye. Just a helpful safety tip .
Use cordless impact driver if u have one, if not go get one 😄, used one work just fine. Like Milwaukee M12, Makita, or Dewalt. Set on lowest setting, it will come off like butter.
Splines and keys are machinery components placed at the interface between shafts and hubs of power-transmitting elements. A spline (or key) is usually machined (or attached) onto the shaft of a power-transmitting pair, and the corresponding groove is cut into the hub.
So my 2014 Civic Si passenger side axle popped out so it was pushed back in but after driving I noticed afterwards it was loose so once I looked at the drive shaft I noticed the set ring looks like it was missing which I don't understand because the axle seemed locked firmly into place prior to it being pulled out accidentally. So my question is: Do I need to replace the ring? Or would I have to replace the entire driveshaft?
My 2012 Civic vibrates on right turns accelerating and from stop accelerating but seems be ok at high speed that I can tell you would that be the cv axle
My 2014 Honda civic would knock when making a left turn. No vibration in the steering wheel. It's in the shop getting the driver side axle replaced. At first I thought it was the motor.
I just bought a 2012 CRV with bad front AXLES and the messykan who sold me the lemon doesn’t want to fix them and lied that axles are not part of the powertrain, which should be under warranty for 3 months after the purchase. His “preferred insurance” said it will not cover the replacement. What to do?
Nice job! Remember to never smack two hammerheads together, they can chip a piece at you at bullet speed! You're not wearing goggles neither! Thanks for the video!
Because he got to display a wider variety of sp tools. This job is every mechanics dream, get paid to do demos on clean equipment indoors, sign me up!!
Not worth the hassle of shimmying the axle through that fork with everything hanging. Especially when it’s just one more bolt and a southern car where the parts just fall off.
@@CEASUSA Funny. I'm just saying, all you need to remove is the tie rod end, disconnect that abs sensor bracket, and the two strut bolts/nuts. You don't need to remove anything else.
@@PanditaP Oh a no it all here I'm a master ASE tech 40 years and I do think the guy was spot on doing the replacement of the shaft thats just how I do them.
