@scottykilmer 12 лет назад

often, you remove the axle shaft from the inner cv joint, then get a puller to yank the joint out of the transmission. I use a slide hammer and a puller adaptor in such cases. It always works with a little modification and grinding if necessary to make em fit on.

I'm glad it was edited to under 5 mins for the whole thing. Anyone planning on doing this should be somewhat experienced anyway. If not, this shouldn't be your first project.

@davidcraig9540 5 лет назад

Hahaha it took me hours and I broke multiple sockets

@RzVids 4 года назад

Betty Duncan I’d rather see 20 minutes of struggle than to see it loosened up so I know exactly what to expect when I do it myself especially if it’s not the same car... and no one is forcing you to watch it/watch the entire thing. If you are somewhat experienced, simply skip throughout the video, but this is a very poorly informed instructional repair. What happens if you can’t get the axle nut off? You’re stuck. What happens if you tighten the axle nut like the way Scotty did? Those axle nuts are anywhere from 100-300 ft of torque...

@scottykilmer 11 лет назад

yes, I often remove lower ball joints to get room to remove an axle

@jonasgrumby1093 6 лет назад

I have learned not to trust the person behind the counter. Show us how to assure the correct part is purchased. Also how to research a part correctly. Different engine options in the same care can be confusing. Also how to tell if a part will fit many different years of a model. Stuff like that. The people watching your videos more than likely dont k ow this stuff if they dont k ow how to change the parts you are showing. Thanks scotty love ya sir!!!

@FluffyMI6 5 лет назад

Im actually kind of jealous how easy everything came apart for him. A CV axle nut in minnesota takes a breaker bar AND a extension, then maybe you might get the nut off. If your using anything less then a 3/4 inch drive and socket, you'll most likely break your drive. Sucks.

Love ya Scotty, But NO NO NO, you don't have to take the two strut bolts out. Just remove the lower ball joint. Doing it your way requires you to go get a front end alignment, that adds another $120.00 dollars to the cost of the job. Heck you don't even have to remove the outer tie rod nut, it just swings out when you remove the lower ball joint Nut. Thanks for the post anyways. Best Wishes n Blessings Keith

@DIYREN1 7 лет назад

+Andrew Robson top bolt is a camber bolt.

@keithnoneya 7 лет назад

Andrew at 4:10 in the video he removed the upper and lower strut bolts. They did not remain tight through out the process. I have worked on vehicles for over 30 years, you don't have to take the strut bolts out on most vehicles, it's a needless step. I did a 4 part series on this to show the best way to do it. Go part 2 of 4 in my series and skip to time index 8:14 when I take the CV Axle out of the Hub Assembly. You can clearly see the lower strut bolt in my video is in and still tight. Don't get me wrong I like Scotty's videos, but he leaves a lot of things out and sometimes he leaves out some very important safety issues. If you're a backyard mechanic with some experience he's great! If you're not, he can really get you into a pickle quick and sometimes with a real safety problem. Hope this helps explain my comment on the strut bolts. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith

I think it might be a CV axle issue. How do I check for this issue? Your videos are both entertaining and informative, so thank you.

@jerseyneil1 6 лет назад

I had the same thing happen to my Corolla with a shaky steering wheel after the winter. Everything looked fine on the car. Finally, I rotated the tires, the fronts to the back and the back to the front. That helped considerably. Then I replaced all the tires and the car is good as new. Sometimes damage to the tires are not that apparent following a bad winter with potholes and crap on the road. Tires take a lot of abuse in winter driving.

Thanks for all of your fantastic videos. I would be in trouble without you! I just took the nut off my 96 Infiniti with a Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrench and boy was it easy. I think everyone needs the Milwaukee 1/2" & 3/8" impact wrenches. They make life so easy doing this job. I tried to take the 36mm axle nut off with my 1/2" Mac air impact wrench and it was like "can this tool do this". The Milwaukee cordless impact tools are really fantastic. I know most people can't afford them and neither could I. I bought one piece at a time when I bought the Milwaukee tools. They are worth their weight in Gold. All of the nuts and bolts just fly off. Thanks again for your fantastic tutorials. Every time I get ready to do a job I go to guess who, "Scotty Kilmer". The Bottom Line! I know you have the air tools and could have done this job with them. You have to show people that air tools aren't necessary. The average person is looking for a simple way to do this job. And you showed them exactly what they needed to know.

It doesn't matter - it's a tiny amount, and whatever grease does mix with oil will simply mix anyway, as the oil gets hot while driving.

I had to go back to your video to see where I was screwing up, I never hammered the axle in so I ordered a 3lb hammer it will be here tomorrow. Otherwise I shift his car into gear and it don't go nowhere! Thank you for being there for us all, even us backyard mechanics who have been working on cars for years, we have to catch up with the times and we have Scotty to help us along the way

5 Star video! I had no idea this job was straight forward and simple. I am unable to do it myself (no tools, no place to do it and no experience) but I will look for someone who can but not a shop. My shop quoted me $500 for plus tax to re and re both axles Thank you so much. You are saving me at least a couple hundred bucks. :-)

don't know if it has abs, but I've used abs axles on non abs cars all the time, most companies only make em that way for both models to save production cost and inventory

sometimes they slip like that and don't go back into their little sockets just right. If the noise is from that side, I would suspect that.

I've watched your video and another and honestly I'm way more confident I can do this instead of paying $700. I cannot thank you enough good sir

these generally clack when worn, but wheel bearings make humming noise

@scottykilmer 11 лет назад

the lock ring didn't lock into the transmission side. Put it back and whack it with a big hammer and a pry bar. BUT, sometimes they are poorly build axles and the rings are the wrong size, I've had that happen to me, and man, was I pissed at the parts store when it happenned. especially the cheaper chinese made ones often do that.
