Nothing like having all the correct tool for the job. I have done this job with a spanner, screwdriver, hammer old paint brush. This looks much easier.

@daleschuls1020 2 месяца назад

For anyone curious, a cv boot expander is only around $70(US). The CV axle is only about $60-$90. Even with renting basic tools, you're still HUNDREDS of dollars less than a mechanic. I love youtube.

@adictiveadictive Месяц назад

Would you just replace the hole axle or buy the boot? I've replaced an axle before, in fact, a little over a year ago, and while inspecting my brakes a few weeks ago, I discovered grease flung everywhere due to a torn boot. My guess is it's from running something over on the highway ( I have a few times since the axle replacement), and my under-body panels have been off due to them gradually tearing apart. How long is too long for the book to be ripped?

@darkknight097 Месяц назад

You're doing basically 90% of the same work to replace the boot as you would to replace the axle. He could have just slid the axle out fully and just slapped a new one in and be done with it.

Sometimes it can be a pita especially if the shaft is on the car, if you don't have a mate handy you might be able to get zip ties round a resonance block or something to hold the shaft in, if you take it out you might need to top up your gear box oil some spill some don't so have a container underneath incase and then top up the same amount that came out or better yet drain and refill the transmission!

It wouldn't surprise me if the bolts were over-torqued since they were done up with a rattle gun and then only checked with a torque wrench. The bolts should have been spun up and then finally tightened with a torque wrench to the specified torque that would certainly have seen movement with the torque wrench. All that is shown here is that the bolts have been tightened to at least the specified torque and are probably tighter that may have gone beyond the bolts yield limit. Note also that the bolt threads have not been cleaned so that any torque applied will be inaccurate.

@olenaerhardt7725 6 месяцев назад

What else can be worn in the CV Axle besides the boot. I found that on line the following: The frequency of replacing CV axles depends on how often you drive your car and on the driving conditions that the car goes through on a regular basis1. Some vehicles don’t even require CV axle replacement until their tenth year. I've replace on our 2003 Chevy Cavalier PS CV Axle just bcs of the age and mileage (~110 K). With the DS I struggle, since very limited space around. I think maybe to leave that Axle, nothing wrong with it. But from another side it is old. I would appreciate any opinion on this question. Thank you for the great and detailed film. I saw that tool to put a boot on, but didn't know how to use it till this film.

@InTheVise 6 месяцев назад

Thanks😀 You can hear noise when you turn hard in slow speed if it is any play in the cv joint. As long as the boot is ok, and enough grease, they lasts forever. Many replace the hole axle and joints when the boot tears. And they replace it with cheap aftermarket Chinese parts that doesn’t hold up for a very long time. My old car, VW T4, ran almost 500000km (310.000 miles) with the stock cv joints. I only replaced the boots and grease a couple of times.

@olenaerhardt7725 6 месяцев назад

@@InTheVise Thank you for so quick replay. Our Chevy had a humming noise in the area of engine, so on the PS. But it came only when driving 15mph or more. The sound was like smth heavy and not centered started to rotate, and that uneven angular motion caused it. The was no sound at Idling, and the sound never changed when you shift gears at driving. After ~59mph it was almost the same, like automatic weapon. Sometimes turning left it could be heard whining sound, but not that typical knocking sound, which indicates bad CV Axle. How I know that sound, it was like that on another our car (2001 Saturn SL2, it had ~120K at that time). I replaced both CV Axles on Saturn and the problem gone. So I still hope that the hamming sound on Chevy related to some suspension problem and not the engine, like Connecting Rod(s). I have TRQ CV Axles, TRQ is pretty good company I think, I bought many parts from them, everything works fine. I've read somewhere that worn strut can make some noise. On Chevy there was only one leaking (on the rear DS), but I'm replacing all of them of course (just Front DS is left). And another thing, maybe you know, can a broken Radiator Cooling Fan make that type of hamming sound. I replaced radiator there and saw that the fan didn't work, so replaced the motor in it. Thank you again.

I bought the tool at Biltema (Scandinavian parts store) here in Norway about 10 years ago. The boot I use is designed to stretch over the joint. You can also use a cone if you don’t have the pneumatic spreader tool.

@@InTheVise I see, I didn't realize you are in Norway. I've checked on Amazon, unfortunately that company (Biltema) is not present on site. The most expensive here in US is Dorman tool (and less negative reviews). On many the reviews state that the boot doesn't spread even at 150 psi, and then unexpectedly gets torn. The cone I think (from the film I saw) requires certain physical abilities. Well I don't need it right now, in the future I'll just try Dorman. Thank you very much for all the explanations.

what do i do if i don’t have that machine to expand the boot?

@InTheVise Год назад

You can use a cone as well. Or you can just remove the cv joint from the axle, then you don’t need any special tools.

@craigcrushme 6 месяцев назад

Remove & refit the joint but assess the type of circlip (ie Are circlip-pliers needed or does it operate a 'click-fit'?) before taking even a hammer to the joint, and preferably a soft-hammer.

@dannynica7480 9 месяцев назад

I have seen some videos like this, but those boots look more of a cheap quality, I am sure they are neoprene material. Neoprene I dont think you can expand it like that

@InTheVise 9 месяцев назад

I doubt it is neoprene. The boots are usually made of rubber or thermoplastic material.

@craigcrushme 6 месяцев назад

Some say that non/low-stretch rubber, if heated, can be forced over the large-dia' joint but don't quote me.

Spend £200 on a CV boot expander and £150 on an air compressor... or.... spend 2 minutes dismantling the CV joint. Tough call.

@InTheVise 6 месяцев назад

Your choice 🤷‍♂️

@craigcrushme 6 месяцев назад

Yeah! One would really need to umbe using the tool/s on a regular basis to justify the cost.

@joshuatran3667 5 месяцев назад

2 minutes dismantling the joint?

@garymills7494 5 месяцев назад

Hi, yes, these joints come apart with one touch of a hammer. They go back together with one more touch of a hammer. I used to design them for a living.

@truthseeker7794 4 месяца назад

Yep it's only held on by a circlip and you don't need to hack the old boot to pieces to get it off. Also easier to clean, inspect and re pack the joint when it's off.

@johnlandry1393 6 месяцев назад

If you have that tool it’s easy! You went to all that trouble why not just remove the axle then the joint ? That’s easy as well!

@InTheVise 6 месяцев назад

The gear oil will start draining if you remove the axle from the gear box. And sometimes the joint can be hard to remove for the axle.

@truthseeker7794 4 месяца назад

Easy to remove the joint and leave axle on. The joint is only held on by a circlip. You can do the job just as quickly without this special tool.

De kan sitte ganske godt. Og vanskelig å komme til når akslingen er på bilen. På noen biler begynner giroljen å renne ut hvis du tar av akslingen på girkassen. Og man kan risikere å skade simmerringen. Men det er absolutt en fordel å ta av drivknuten, og bruke en mansjett som er av høyere kvalitet. Som holder lenger enn de man utvider så mye. Spesielt her i Norge med kalde temperaturer. Også enklere å rense og legge nytt fett. Det finnes spesielle avdragere for å ta av drivknuten. Jeg skulle egentlig gjøre det på bilen min. Kjøpte avdrager på Biltema. Men den er akkurat litt for smal til drivknutene på VW T5, som i videoen.

@roysrollsbryggeri5654 3 месяца назад

@@InTheVise bare å nappe ut hele akselen. Sett noe under som giroljen kan dryppe oppi. Og fyll tilbake etterpå. Putt den pent inn igjen. simmeringen tar ikke skade av det.

Once you take out the drive you have to replace the oil seal drive shaft or else transmission oil will leak. Original oil seal is expensive

It´s absolute bullshit to stretch the boot this way. The drive shaft joint is only mounted with a snap ring. You simply can dissassemble and reassemble it.👎

@InTheVise 6 месяцев назад

This type of boot I use in the video is meant to stretch over the cv joint. You also get a manual cone for this task, if you don’t have the pneumatic tool. Sometimes the joint can be hard to get off the axle (especially when mounted on the car). But if You want to take the joint off, it is ok for me. Your car, your choice. Cheers🍻

Unfortunately, you do NOT know how to use the torque wrench. the final tightenings you do are invalid. you have tightened much more beforehand. this in itself invalidates the use of the torque wrench.
