Im in the middle of changing my cv axle, you just saved my ass thank you!

I like how you go straight to the point, no unnecessary story like most mechanic.

Thanks for the video, made my job a lot easier. Couple of additional tips for guys doing this in the driveway and not on a lift: - Buy the seals you (may) need before you start, they're not expensive. If your 4runner is your daily, finding out they're blown after removing the axles could slow you down. Save the new seals if your existing ones are good. It's not like you'll find them cheaper the next time you have the axles out. - Remove the skidplate. It's just 4 12mm bolts and 5 mins tops but the extra angle you gain while hitting the chisel helps. - If you're having a hard time getting the old axle out of the diff with a hammer and chisel, grab a pry bar and put some leverage against the opposite side of the axle from the flat you're hitting. if it's still stubborn grab 2 pry bars and work them at the same time. - Position the clip on the inner axle splines so the open end faces down. The TSRM says to do this to make it easier to seat, and even then it was difficult for me to get it in.

Lower ball joint torque is 166 ft lbs. Great video

I had no idea how to do this. Now it looks easy! Thanks so much for the video. You made my day!

Looking to tackle this job this weekend and your video helped calm my nerves. Thank you

Just did mine. Much respect for daily mechanics!! 🙏

Imagine my surprise when I’m looking for a video on how to pull that axle shaft out so I can replace the seal and realize that you actually did this! I’m a subscriber and love your stuff and thanks for taking the time to do this.

Brother, I love your videos! If everybody made instructional videos, short and straight to the point like yours, the world would flow. Love watching your adventures too. Cheers!

Great job. Thanks for not playing background music. I like how you skipped watching useless steps like removing lug nuts / caliber mounting bolts. Everything I need.

thanks for the video, im a welder, not enough patience to be a mechanic, but this is something i'm going to do for the first time. video helped, i appreciate it and God bless! Hope you and your family have a safe and blessed Christmas Season.

Thank you for the quick, no BS vid. I'm off to get the parts!

Great video, thanks for doing it. I just got my teenaged son a 2006 with 188,000. When inspecting to consider buying I noted torn outer driver boot. Since i don't know how long it's been torn, I think I will just go ahead and replace the axles on both sides like this. I plan to keep this well maintained and on the backroads of southern AZ a long time! Cheers.

Great video.......

On my 4th gen my sway bar end link nut backed off and fell out of the road. The sway bar dropped off the link and came into contact with the boot and the axle. It’s was quite a racket. Anyways good video I had this done in 45 minutes. Side note, always check to make sure things are tight. Not sure how it backed off but it did.

Plan on replacing the cv axles soon on my 08 4runner, what type of grease did you use?

It's ALWAYS advised to replace the axle seals and the axle nut when replacing the CV axle. I did the axles on my Ford Ranger, and the seals looked fine, so I put them back together..... and they leaked afterwards. Had to rip it all apart the next day.

@NoNonsenseKnowHow

2 жыл бұрын

It's possible you may have nicked the seal When removing or installing the axle. I've put hundreds of them in without replacing the seals and have never had one leak. Certainly not a bad idea to replace the seals However don't go after market. Make sure to go OEM.

What is the name of the seal you are referring to at 3:35 in the video?

118 ft/lbs on lower knuckle bolts

How are these axles holding?

Good video, but you have the incorrect brake rotors for that truck! There are two different diameter front rotors available for the 06-09 4Runners, and you installed the smaller ones. You can see at 6:09 in the video that the pads are overhanging the rotor.

How much is the labor cost for this job?

A couple other videos state the axle socket is a 36mm. You stated 35mm. Which one is correct? Btw, the video is excellent and very informative! Thanks!

I'm not sure what the book time is off hand. It is a industry standard thing. It will be in their computer system. Or you might be able to find it online somewhere. Also most shops don't like customers supplying their own parts. If you think you can take care of it yourself, that's probably the best bet. Definitely going to save the most and also have a satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself
