1A Auto: Repair Tips & Secrets Only Mechanics Know The bolt you removed at 3:10 wont come off i already took off the nutt no issues but when trying to hit it with a hammer it goes absolutely nowhere and putting an impact wrench on it doesnt do anything
you website needs some serious work. Unable to choose trim for a honda accord. Search bar does not find results cv axle, sidebar is horrible. Shopping elsewhere. Peace.
This video gave me the confidence to replace a broken cv axle. Great camera work and explained well. Thanks! Im 58 and remember when there was no youtube with helpfull videos like this! It makes it easy to do the work yourself and save big money!
Video super helpful. Was able to replace driver side axel myself in about an hour and save a ton of money. I think I could do the other side even faster since I did this one and watched the video. I thought this was going to be an all day job. Thanks so much for posting. I appreciate the pace and letting us know the sizes of the nuts and bolts, saved a bunch of time trying to figure out what size. Huge difference in the handling of the car, no more shaky steering wheel and no more clicking when I turn right. Steering feels more solid. 2005 Honda accord EX.
This has been the best demonstration of anything I've seen on the www, so many thanks. I couldn't find a 32mm socket for the axle nut at home and I knew I bought a socket just for some job a few years ago. I found it and it's 36mm and luckily, it fits my 2007 Accord. My car failed Virginia inspection. The inspector wrote "rack and pinion boot broken" but it was the CV boot, left side. Rack and pinion look fine. I've had no steering or suspension failure on this car. I'm going to replace sway bars, lower ball joints, inner & outer tie rod ends, & all boots both sides because I have 110,000 miles and I think the right side boot is also leaking grease. That will make me confident I'll never ever need to replace any of these components again and it will be much easier during the axle replacement. Otherwise, I might need to pay for an alignment now and again if something failed in the future.

You’re my hero! Great video! What I loved most is that from the beginning to the end, you were doing and explaining as you went! If this 30 min video were on a different channel, it would most likely be 5 minutes of work and 25 minutes of talking about crap Yours is amaZIN!!!! Love it dude!!!
Great video, one of the best I've seen here. Kind of glad I had somebody else do it the other day though, as painful as the cost was, replaced both left and right axles, 2003 Accord, 270K miles. Not quite so glad I clicked the link and saw how inexpensive the parts that were replaced could actually be. As they say, oh well. (It will make me think a lot more before telling them to just go ahead and do it the next time something "major" needs to get fixed.)
@@1AAuto Is this the same way done for a 2004 Honda Accord 4 cylinder lx? 2.4 liter? It looks like it is. I changed out the sway bar link stabilizer however now I know that this is the job that needs to be done.
Only gotta be 2% smarter than what you're working with and you're obviously 150%, thanks for the wonderful explanation and walkthrough. This is gonna be a lot easier with your help. Thank you for this video.
Great video. I have an accord that first drive on cold morning feels like the road is bumpy. It smooths after a couple of miles . Wonder if that is CV going bad?

Never seize is my favorite thing in my chemical cabinet. I work in Nh and you learn the handle every fastener with kids gloves. Even lug nuts can get stuck and break occasionally.. It would be great when you get the cold weather package in a car it means they add never seize to every fastener.
Any thoughts on what’s going on if when I removed the axle the transmission fluid all leaked out. Is it just a deal or does that probably mean my transmission is shot
Im going to do this this summer. I think im going to go ahead and take the shock fork off cause knowing my luck i'll rip the boot getting the new axle back on your way. Great great great video though!
Thanks for the video. I noticed after replacing mine, that the boot is sometimes rubbing against the lower control arm. Now I have a pinhole size leak. Anyway 2 adjust this?
+Jacob S Thanks for watching! You should make sure that the vehicle has a proper alignment and the parts were reinstalled correctly. If the boot has a leak you will have to have it replaced.
Przerabiałem prawą stronę od strony pasażera. Auto wersja EU. Wymieniłem przegub wewnętrzny i wibracje praktycznie zniknęły przy 40km/h. Teraz ciekawe ile czasu podziała bo to nie oryginał tylko Driveshaft/Pivotal. Staram się nie uderzać młotkiem nigdzie, stosuję ściągacze sworzni, no chyba, że nie chce wyjść to uderzam bo muszę 😊Pozdrawiam.
I just did this on my car and I just removed the wishbone entirely instead of the sway bar link.gave More room and it’s easier than dealing with the link
I’m working on my 05 accord & the bolt connected to my control arm is not budging. I used a hammer but I’m only ruining the nut that was holding it in place. Any ideas?
hi a question about the axle nut is it 32mm or 36 mm because in the usa the honda accord i have in europe is called acura tsx,but i see on the tsx the nut is 36mm
Hi 1A Auto, does the snap ring on the transmission end of the CV axle ever come loose and get stuck inside the differential? If it does get stuck inside the transmission then when what can be done to remove it? I have this fear it might happen if I try to pop the axle out of the transmission.
If you really think Honda putting that damper on to limit NVH concerns had no merit.then you are mistaken. This is the reason why we do not deal with aftermarket parts for the most part.. I'm sure 1A Auto engineering department is superior to Honda....yea right.. again this is the reason why confident automotive technicians try to stay far away from aftermarket parts as possible and practical

This guy is rough on the parts. And he's using a chrome socket on an impact. Not to mention dropping a tire on the ground like that to start can actually do damage to the belts.

Hi, It would be great if they could put subtitles in Spanish. I think they would gain many more likes on the page and it would grow more. Also that they could export their parts to Mexico greetings from Mexico greetings.
