@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Peter, can I ask you a question? What is your experience with aftermarket axles? I just watched this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YH5Cf7uJV5Y.html
Well done,mate.Language is ok,no worries.All what have you done been shown nicely,exactly like normal man should do it at home.I've done the same thing for Vauxhall Signum,it's possible for anyone to do.A bit patience and creativity what was in this video,Peter is the top man!
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful! Kiitoksia videosta, siitä oli paljon apua! You don't need to remove the brake caliper to take out the CV axle. At least on 2002 model that I'm working at the moment the brake hose and ABS sensor cables are long enough so you can move the whole hub with brakes still attached out of the way. Just separate the hose and cable from strut and cable from car body. I didn't separate the steering arm from the hub like Peter did but separated the hub from the strut instead. Mark the position of the strut to the hub with a knife or similar tool so you know the camber angle is the same when you re-assemble. If you have a newer model, 2002 onwards, no need to unscrew the ABS sensor from the hub like some guides tell you to do. Don't touch it as the bolt holding the sensor is usually stuck and you'll just end up breaking the bolt and have to drill it out. For 2002 the parts store guy told me to put 1.9 liters of oil in the gearbox but whn I drained it it had 2.0 liters in it.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor I only forgot to search how to install the oil seal which you also showed in another excellent video. Thanks again. Because of you I can still drive my 25 year old Corolla. And I also use genuine Toyota parts.
Hi peter I have 1996 celica st202 3sfe 2.0L automatic. I’m doing a manual swap with a 3sgte maual gearbox. Can the axle and inner cv joint work back on the manual gearbox. ???
Hi Peter, i followed your video carefully to change my outer CV joint, everything went smooth. But after i was done, when i lift the clutch, you can hear the gears spinning, but the axles are not spinning! Did i break my clutch? or did i do something wrong when inserting axle. Keep up the videos :)
For anyone wondering this: The trick is to apply downwards pressure from above (use a crowbar) so that the cone shape in the ball joint will bite in to the hub and stop the joint from spinning when you tighten it.
Yes most auto parts stores sell an injector tip for grease gun...however it takes alot of time to fill joint like that...tip is very small...better to just replace boot and regrease
I've heard it depends on the type of locking ring that was used and you may damage the axle when trying to remove it with a hammer. I've also heard that you may be able to separate the axle and outer joint by dropping the axle in a pipe. There's also a puller tool for that but I've read that it doesn't work most of the time so I didn't waste my money on that. I used this method today: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sX8jM4TuGsQ.html
Outer joint or Birfield joint cannot be repair once it's damage the mechanism for corolla and camry because there 's no tool that can remove lock c ring that why he only change the grease.
We dislocated the tripod out of the cup by accident taking out the strut and we just couldn't get it back in, even with taking the boot off...had to just get a new one
