►Broken CV joints and ripped CV joint boots are a universal issue for modern vehicles. The joints are on either end of an axle, allowing significant wheel articulation while ensuring it retains drive from the engine. The CV joints and the rubber boots that cover them are thus under constant movement and will eventually wear out. Replacing a CV axle can be expensive, but luckily, you don't have to. The boots and joints are rebuildable with a little time and patience, and we're here to show you how.
In today's Tech Tip, Danny Krugeer, FCP Euro's Mercedes Expert, shows you how to rebuild a CV axle.

This is a really good video for CV repair/replace. I have used Raxles before (They were very good)...but I think I could go this route from now on. Thanks.

@noelelnolo9642 Год назад

Great video and this is not only a money saving technique, more importantly, it is a way to keep from throwing away working parts.

@Kielyn123 Год назад

Dang - that was outstanding. Thank you

@harrynazarian3184 Год назад

Bravo, bravo. Very good instruction!

@lemons4315 Год назад

Great quality video

@johnathonmcalister6645 Год назад

Excellent video - while I did my Porsche CV axles with entire units, it's great to see how the the joints are rebuilt. Excellent level of detail.

@mariopyzik1845 Год назад

Great video!! thank you.

Great video, but a key detail left out: on VW products where the inner axle bolts to a flange in the transmission, you're supposed to apply a thin bead of flange sealant to the end cap, and the inner boot flange, where the two accept bolts. Otherwise, you can have grease eject from this area, and leave you wondering why your new boots are leaking.

Can you link to such a product? I’m curious what its composition is.

@BryanChance 2 месяца назад

NIce! One of the great DIY videos!

@EmilioSpider Год назад

Eccellente. Just a pray for your videomaker: many of us are watching from foreign Countries and often need subtitles. Please consider it when filming and editing. Leave the space at the bottom, because especially on mobiles they overlap the items. Many thanks from Italy.😉

@cosmicallyderived 8 дней назад

Blame RU-vid for abandoning user contributed captions. They should have kept that feature around.

@richarddiaz8248 Год назад

Thank you

@ricktopwrench3270 Год назад

Should put a wrap of masking tape over splines so as not to score the inside of the boot sealing surface, then apply a thin wipe of grease so boot small end slides on with ease!👍

great video and got a thumbs up from me but get on with it!!!

@coreykowalczyk8716 Год назад

I’m working on a 1996 lexus es300 and I ordered a gsp cv axle from rock auto and when I got it the ball bearings were out of place so I removed the snap ring and put the ball bearings in the cage and greased it however now it won’t rotate. Is there a trick to getting the ball bearings to stay in place in the cage and have them still rotate?

@looplu 10 месяцев назад

I decided..to buy a new axel...shipped in 2 days..installed in 2 hours.

@ap5196 3 месяца назад

On the outer I didn’t see when you reinstalled the new c clip. Did I miss something ? I’m assuming install new c clip after cleaning and removing joint ? And during installation I am hammering until the joint seats again ?

@sounasamdy8303 6 месяцев назад

why do you always hide the most important one in the spare parts detachment.? how to detach the elbows from the axle? a good video must be detailed and clear

@edtorres9031 Год назад

Thank you for the video. Why did you not install both boots when you removed the first cv joint ?

@mrkhokhar4895 6 месяцев назад

Can be

@sergiutabirta7636 Год назад

great video, how do i know if the cv joint passed the C clip? i cant see the clip and i didnt feel if it passed over or not

@reallyhappenings5597 Год назад

Take notes. Take photos, lots of them. Then basically eyeball it.

@cdeprima1209 10 месяцев назад

You want all of that grease packed into the bearing, forget the boot, must pack the bearing well, you should all know that!! Otherwise, good job! :)

@mg8718 3 месяца назад

I want to try a cv build using Mobil 1 Synthetic grease. In my opinion that black moly grease sucks. What to i have to lose? Im going to experiment. I see way to many new OEM axles that fail just like any China made axle. Any thoughts?

@philipcaseyacalloway204 Год назад

Thank you for the helpful video. Also you’re a brave man for messing with spring clips without eye pro. I’m a chicken with spring pressure and have fallen victim to a chipped tooth from an angry wheel bearing retainer 😂

@anthonyromano90 Год назад

Eye protection is a must with that unavoidable shot of brake clean in the face!

@jasonpierce1980 2 месяца назад

Why are some CV axle inner c clips flat and others round will it make a difference if I put the wrong one in my car?????????????

@economico2313 11 месяцев назад

hey my 2020 kia optima has cv axle vibration you think rebuilding it will correct the problem

@fcpeuro 11 месяцев назад

Hey there! It very likely will, if the issue is your CV Joint. Just double-check that your vibration isn't from something like a wheel bearing or bent wheel first!

@Paramount531 Год назад

I just checked your site, there is no CV axle rebuild kits for a 2013 Volvo XC70. Will these become available in the future?

@fcpeuro Год назад

We sure hope so!

@michaelmm94 12 дней назад

How difficult would this be to do on an F30 without removing the axel from the diff, going to attempt that next week.

@fcpeuro 11 дней назад

Hi Michael, the best way to do this is by removing the axle!

@mrkhokhar4895 6 месяцев назад

🎉 quality job and great explanation, learning

@fcpeuro 6 месяцев назад

Glad you liked it!

@cdh76 Год назад

What's the point of filling the boot with grease? Any excess sure but surely you want as much grease as possible on the actual cv joint?

@jamdc2000 Год назад

it rotates + it moves up and down, the grease will stick on the wall of the plastic/rubber boot because of the speed, if you do not put enough grease, soon you will be hearing annoying noises

@lauriedooker1031 10 месяцев назад

Can you do a Porsche 996 ish axil ? Outers are like ? WTF 👍🇦🇺

@mg8718 3 месяца назад

Had a light bearing sound passenger side. Shortly later it became a lour clunking, shortly later i bust down, 3 out of 6 lug nuts torn off. Replace lower arm/ball/rod end, new bearing, new hub, still clunking again! The sound is coming from near the rotor. Double checked brakes. Ok. This cv axle was replaced 1 year ago under a recall> I ordered a new cv axle made in China. (what do i have to lose)? Is my manual trans axle shot? I kinda dont think so but now im getting really scared. This is my only car. Its a little Honda FIT. PLEASE HELP ME.

@danny_playswithcars 3 месяца назад

Funnily enough, I actually also have a Honda fit. Make sure you check your motor mounts, as they do fail and can definitely add clunking. As you seem aware, there is a recall open on our axles...if yours was already replaced, especially with a quality one, it should still be good though. I'd double check to make sure everything is tight with all of that work done, and also consider the mounts (US passenger side one is up on top and is hydraulic. US driver side there are two, and the torque or lower mount fails super commonly. When it does, you get a pop or clunk).

@mg8718 3 месяца назад

My motor mounts have been noisy since the day i drove it off the lot! The clunking as tire rotates is coming from the brake/rotor area. Checked it and double checked it. My new CV axle from Rock auto just got here today. Waiting for the rain to stop.@@danny_playswithcars

What's the average cost for this job?

@toddpope2134 3 дня назад

On a BMW the Stealership will charge you about $1700 just to replace the outer boot!

I see someone promoting a Melye product, I'll turn the video off. Cause they don't really know what they're talking about.

I've been using Meyle products since 2018 without any issues, so what is your point?

Dude, start with Google and your car's OEM parts catalog.

@mhkmhk3164 2 месяца назад

i wish all the mechanics do the same. most of them will just say, replace it

@toddpope2134 3 дня назад

Yep! Most mechanics are nothing more than remove and replace techs always trying to up sell you. You would be hard pressed to find a real mechanic that know how to repair even the simplest thing.
