This video will show you how to replace the passenger side split axle shaft typically found on Toyota passenger cars (i.e., Camry, Avalon, Highlander, ES300, ES330 & ES350). The customer had been complaining about wheel vibration coming from the passenger side front end after driving into a large pot hole. The wheel was not bent and the tires were found not to be damaged, out of round or balance. However, with both front wheels off the ground, the engine running and the car's transmission positioned in drive, axle wobbling in and out of its outer cv housing was visible. Either the axle was bent or the internal bearings or bearing cage were damaged from the pot hole experience.
Toyota's passenger side axle shaft design is consistent for the majority of their front wheel drive vehicles; therefore this procedure can be used on many of Toyota's vehicles. A 12 point 30 mm nut is used to secure the axle to the wheel hub. A 6 point 30 mm socket will not work as a substitute on this type of nut. Depending on the environment where the car resides (road salt in winter & moisture) will determine the ease with which the axle's splines will slide out of the wheel hub. Corrosion buildup between the axle splines and the wheel hub is typical and may require hammering the shaft end to force the splines loose from the wheel hub with either a heavy duty punch tool or a powered jack hammer. The center half shaft bearing support hanger is braced and bolted onto the engine block. This bearing is held in place by a 12 mm bolt and a large snap ring. The snap ring's protruding ears can be pinched using long needle nose pliers to move the ring out of its support groove. Afterwards, the center bearing can be removed from its support hanger using a long punch tool and hammer. The tip of the punch tool should be braced against inner cv joint housing. A series of hammer blows to the punch should slowly work out the center bearing from it support hanger.
