looks so easy but when I do it, it's a complete nightmare. The axle doesn't come out that easy. It took me almost a hour of hitting the axle to come out and that is after using a spray to loosen tight nuts. Also fire ants decided to move in on my location and a storm came by. So after I was done I was too tired and forgot to crimp the nut. I still have the other side to do but that is for another day lol
I'm currently having this issue on my 2014 corolla. Axle is seized inside the hub. I'm soaking it in penetrating fluid, but I've been whacking at it all day with no success.
@@kind2311 I recently changed it again because it went bad, thanks amazon part, and i saw someone use a chisel and hammer to push it in. Also I disconnected the whole thing besides the ball joint and whacked it out.
Damn bro, I’m literally moments away from doing this whole job. I’m so glad I saw this comment. I’m totally just gonna spray it with some WD-40 and then wipe the excess off with a towel before I stick it in instead of a big glop of grease

How long can I drive with a ripped cv boot??? Please help im scared too drive my car don't know if it's safe makes no noises when turning and the the boot still has grease in it plus I bought more grease too repack the ripped boot too keep it lubed up
Mine was ripped, but dirt hadn't destroyed the joint yet, so I packed it and wrapped it with garbage bag plastic and zip-top it to keep out the road dirt, and rain-mud.
Yeah, you should be able to do this job. You might need the tool to pop the tie rod (you might be able to rent this tool from your local auto parts store) and you may need an axle puller (rent from auto part store as well) but not necessary if you pry it out carefully and are going to replace it anyway.
