For anyone researching this task, I highly recommend just re-booting your original axles. I drove mine a dozen times or so after the boots split, but there was still grease inside and when I got the axles out and clean they looked absolutely brand new. Toyota sells complete kits with everything you need. Re-booting is the easy part compared to all the work to get the axles out. Just messy, that's it. OEM's are far superior to anything you'll find at your local parts counters. My OEM axles had 170k miles and looked brand new.

It can be difficult to properly seat them and having the right tool to add the retaining clamp on the outside - did you struggle with that at all?

there has been a 5 months backOrder on OEM full boot kits, at least for the Gen1 tacoma... ordered in early October and arriving NOW in mid March... 500+ nationWide backorder is what the parts dealer told I.. it is totally FKN ridiculous to wait this damn long

I love how you would also explain the “How To” for the peasants like us 😂who doesn’t have all the tools, lift, etc. Great work!!!

Thanks, that the point in all my videos. I assume nobody has the use of a shop and doing in the home garage or driveway. Growing up me and my buds spent a lot of time in driveways wrenching, look back those were the good ole days.

Thanks, Kelly. Appreciate you showing different options for those of us without power tools. Always enjoy these, short and to the point, but enough detail to be able to follow and do it myself. Thanks!

Thanks for tutorial rebooting mine soon. What r your thoughts on manual locking hubs?

I have a 98 Toyota 4Runner sr5 I’m gonna attempt to do my own cv replacement soon

Great video quick question are the axles size specific?

I think this guy sounds like Robert Downey Jr. and now I cant un-hear it. If u close your eyes I swear its Iron Man.

.good shit .

Will I need extended boots if I have a 2.5 inch level kit?

Love the video. Having an issue with seating the axle. I assume it's the c clip. I was hesitant to beat on it with a mallet, didn't know if it'll mar the end or damage the bearings?

@Beacon_Offroad

Keep pulling it out and reinserting it in different positions. Also be sure the c clips isnt damaged or knicked. Needs to be smooth. Its quite strong and would take a lot power to damage it with a rubber mallet. Feel free to hit it pretty good

I have a 3inch lift with 35s AND diff drop I would break cv axles every 3-4 months with the oem ones I bought these high angle cvs and they’ve held up great for over 50k miles of daily driving do some research on them many companies sell them I bought mine from oreileys

I snapped by drivers side cv axel so part is still in the diff. It completely sheared off. I can not get it out. I welded a bar on it and made a slife hammer to bang it out, but it will not come out. Is something locked in there?

@Gabriel-jc2sc

@@nwbauer91 Just the snap ring or something similar to that. It just needs more force to pull it out of there because that’s the same way it goes in.

What’s the name of the brand ?

Cvj axles are a great alternative to OEM. Great prices too.

Does anyone know if these parts are shared with all 3rd Gen body/drivetrain combos? I Have a KZN185 and am looking to do this job...

How often have you had to change your cv axles with your current lift and tires? Are you replacing with oem?

What tire size you have and what gear you're going to choose for those tires ?

Hey Kelly, see you switched out for different wheels, I was wondering if you are planning on letting go of the KMC's ?

Thats a tough one. Solvent tank is obviously the best way..maybe get a bucket and 1 gallon of solvent and make a smaller version to clean the ends.
