Simple and straightforward, very good tutorial 👏👏👏

Thank you so much YEARS Later!

FOR SURE HELPED WHEN DOING CV AXLE BOOTS ON PORSCHE, AUDI AND VW

a very clear and straight forward tutorial sir... the best video i've seen regarding CV joint 👌

Superb video, did my first CV rebuild with help of this one and everything went smoothly. 👍

I'm trying to do the same job, gonna be very helpful in the process of getting the job done. Thanks for video 👊

Saw this video last week and what i learned from here saved me yesterday. Replacing the axle on my Audi i removed a ziptie holding on the inner joint too early and the balls started falling out when positioning the axle. Cleaned and greased the balls and put them back in saving me a headache.

very informative and skillfully presented, Thank you #lowrangeoffroad. Love from Vanuatu

Thank you!!! Great video

I always knew my ride has balls of steel.😆

You probably saved me at least a couple of hours there, cheers

Very helpful, at this moment I’m doing the exact job on my Daihatsu fortrak . Many thanks .

Throw away society all in the name of greed (but disguised as efficiency and warranty security). Manufacturers = Financially Wins as it gets to sell you more than you need (whole assemblies) increasing profits Mechanics = Financially Wins by having a higher Profit margin on top of more expensive whole assemblies. Wins again as the fix is faster (ensures profit consistency per job). Customer = Financially Loses due to paying a lot more for buying whole assemblies. Environment = Loses due to more pollution manufacturing and more pollution as land fill

As a mechanic while I agree rebuilding is a good thing to know how to do, in certain situations like cvs it’s usually actually cheaper for the customer to replace the unit rather than getting it rebuilt so to the extra cost of labour spent rebuilding. If doing it yourself then definitely rebuilding is much cheaper

Very good job 👍

Good to see people

This is a good work. I like it.

I'm surprised no lubrication was used!!! Very interesting. Replaced an outer boot on my Honda today. Someone warned about balls falling out but that was never a worry for me. Must be worn as hell if the balls fall out. Mine was almost as tight as that one.

Thank you so much for teàching❤ God bless you sir

I still feel nothing beats brand new. But very informative

Very Very Good, Thank You

Thanks for that... Few days ago I pulled apart my whole driveshaft from a '99 Toyota, and couldn't assemble back an outer CV joint, because in the inner CV joint I had to insert these balls from inside and I thought that it is the same on the outer CV joint, lol. Thanks again!

Thank you. For your steps . That is veri good.

Good vid for half the job. Would like to know how you separate the rest of the cv tho? How do you get the long shaft out?

Thanks for the video definitely helped me but one question I have is would a brass punch and hammer be a better choice? Watching you installing it by hammering on the ball with a steel punch, did it not leave a flat spot?

@lowrangeoffroad1

7 жыл бұрын

That is a good question. These parts are super hard. We took this joint apart several times with these tools and there was not sign of any damage at all. We have tried brass and found that brass flakes and chips off leaving little pieces of brass inside the joint and they are almost impossible to clean out. So we recommend using steel tools. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

I'm pretty sure it varies. My daytona's axle only has three balls, not six, like this truck cv axle has.

is it possible to install the race upside down in the cage? i rebuilt my cv joints on my honda s2000 and there is a humming noise coming from the drivetrain now

What grease did you guys used?

I Think you are a supper star. Can I ask a quick question . I bought a new CV join all shape and size are identical same amount of inner teeth but the teeth/grove slightly different shape the new one it had a v shape grove instead of a U shape grove and it seen 2mm smaller to fit to the main shaft. will it be ok to remove the old internal into the new one with the new bearing. The old CV join make click when turning corner as the rubber cover was damage with unknown time. any help thanks in advance.

Sir, my car CV axle has a play and make sounds on both sides of the front car. I hold the CV axle firmly, pushing in and out. During this time, the axle makes a play movement about 1 cm with a bit of click sounds. There are no leaks or signs of worn in the bushings or rubber parts. Is this normal? And any danger in driving with this axle play? Would be please to hear a good solution Thanks

Excellent explanation !! can you do it with all kinds of joints on the market? thanks ☺

If you're lazy

Why are you not using any grease in the assembly?

Hi, if the cv axle joint, wheel hub side, almost seized, is it still good to repair or cv axle no good anymore?

Where do i get balls and housings? Here in germany it isn't common to repair like that although it is a great thing. I think that probably the work time is to expensive. If you search here at the auto part dealer you can only buy the whole axle. In some cases you can get the joints solo. But i don't know where to find balls, cages or other parts solo.

Does it matter if the balls go back in different positions compared to how they were removed?

Nice video,still i would do 2 things differently,i would grease the parts before the assembly,and i would use a 1/2 inch brass punch.

Hi guys. Great video. However, what I don't understand is that when pulling apart a good working VB join / Birfield, the whole thing moves around nicely, but during re-assemby the Birfield seems to be very tight. How do we get this re-assemblrf Birfield to become as loose as the original?

That's great

Do you sell CV joints for Subaru? If not can you recommend where I can get a quality one without going OEM?

Where did you source the cage and balls by themselves? Is this an OEM joint you are working on or aftermarket? Great video! Thanks!

Does that mean the bearings and other inside components were not worn out?

Looks like a decent informative video, and all the other comments are positive, and I'm no AWD expert, but does anyone else cringe when he hits the bearings with a (hard) drift...shouldn't that be with a brass or alu drift?...the hammer didn't look especially "soft" either!

При сборке все смазать нужно слегка

How do you know which side is broken, the one to the wheel or the one to the transmission? I replaced CV Axles on 2001 Saturn SL2 like 1 - 1.5 years ago, and now it started to give a slight clicking noise on sharp turns to the right (when you basically go on the circle in clockwise direction). When the car goes straight, no noise, so I think it is the left (DS) CV Axle. Maybe I moved it too much on installation, maybe just such aftermarket part (though it is Cordona, seems like no complaints about them). So, if I remove that CV Axle, can I find out somehow which side of it has a problem? Or it is better to take apart both ends? Thank you for the informative film.

it is necessary to lightly lubricate the parts before assembly, and not drive the parts with a sledgehammer

Supper👍👍👍

I was taught not to hammer but is it okay to do it on cage?

All parts lightly oiled, brass drift and Soft hammers of various materials ?

Good

My question is, if a cv joint is mishandled and comes apart inside the boot, can it be reassembled whether the boot is left on or not? Or was that something that would damage components and need them replaced?

why don't use oil during assemblying ....tnx...

why this joint doesn't move after he rebuilds it? in the car you will also use a hamer to turn steering wheel?

Nice video but why didn't applied the grease before re-install the parts?

Never use a steel hammer.
