Howd you cut off the boot i dont have any metal cutters but ill do whatever it takes including buying more tools to get this thing the hell out of my car. Have already ripped off the cv axle with an axle puller and have the half shaft stuck in there and can go buy vice grips

This trick is one of the best I've seen on youtube. Saved me a ton of headache and repair bills. Thanks a ton!!

I just finished changing the cv axle on my 2018 drivers side Nisan Altima, you know, the one that's just supposed to just pop out. Well, it didn't pop out, it didn't pry out and I'm working on in my car port on the ground and was about to give up and take it to a shop last night when I saw your video. I cut a slit in the boot up against the cup of the inner bearing holder with just enough room to fit the head of vise grips. I was going to give it a couple of test tugs and on the first tug it popped out. My life is complete.

@@BTKKILLER1 I had this issue. Passenger side has a bracket with three bolts (14 or 15mm I think) that needs to be removed first. It’s halfway down the axle. It’s a bitch to get the top bolt (it’s in a triangle formation). You’ll need a swivel head and an extension.

Holy moly! Thank god I found your tip!! It worked. Spent hours trying to pry the stuck cv axle on my kids 2013 passat. After 15 seconds of using your tip, popped right out! I really appreciate the time you took to share this tip! Saved dollars and saved learning new cuss words!

Thank you so much, I finally got my passenger side axel out with your solution. I tried prybars, slide hammer, cv axle popper forks and nothing would budge it. It took me about 45 minutes today to get it out this way. Anyone still having problems doing it this way, what worked for me was pull it like 3 or 4 times, rotate the cup like an inch and pull it like 3 or 4 times and repeat, on the 3rd turn I got it out on like the 3rd pull and I wasn't pulling very hard because I didn't think it was going to work. All in I probably spent 12 hours trying to pull this damn thing out and I got it out in under an hour with this trick. Thanks so much.

Same here - Thanks SO much... spent ages trying to do this, didn't have a slide hammer, spent ages prying and trying to get it out. Had to put it all back together that day. Saw your video that night and did it with your method the next day in 10 seconds. Life saver - praise be to KZread!

Like others here took one last swipe through KZread looking for a solution to this problem. Two pulls and it popped out, after spending an hour or more cursing at it. You saved me 70 bucks for a slide hammer kit. Thank you.

Hey Bundy, seriously like Phil just said. So I have been working on pulling out my passenger side CVX out of our 2013 MDX and have been working on it for the past 3 hours (morelike 3.5 hours) and nothing... would work to get these thing out. The half shaft got stuck, and I used pryer bars, and nothing... I just discovered your video and removed the grease, put the bearings back on the end of the shaft and put it back inside the half shaft, clamped down with my Milwaukee Torque Lock Curved Jaw Locking Pliers and pulled and guess what? it came out on the FIRST pull!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude, you rock..... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man what a lifesaver. I was stuck with no place to go. On a 2002 Dodge Caravan that inner CV joint is recessed up in there where you can’t even use one of those special tools however your method works like a champ. I can’t say thank you enough I really appreciate it

My dad was struggling with the broken cv joint on his 2001 Toyota Corrola for about an hour.I found this video for him.He ran and got his vice grips.He got it out in 30 seconds.Thanks for sharing.

This is the method that worked for me! Thank you for the video! Saved me so much time after already spending six hours trying to get it out

Improvement on your method: Part of the problem in getting these things off is the offset force applied by either a prybar or your method. Try putting a visegrip on each bearing (three visegrips), equalizing the load on the axle.

Ok. I'm another happy amature mechanic. I tried for hours. Prying, banging, rotating the stuck piece (like one of my favorite youtube honda mechanics suggested). Nothing. I tried this first with grease still on the part and the plyers fell off. Then I made a "clean" spot, repositioned the vice grips and "hammered" it this way about 12 times then pow! It fell right out! Only took about 15 minutes. Thank you! Now I can complete this "realitively easy" job! 👍

​@@bobthebuilder9416I think the rubber boot came off when the axel seperated because I had a broken lower ball joint. If I needed to I think I would have cut the rubber boot (with tin snips, scissors, etc) which for me was ok because I was installing a new axel assembly.

Wow, I fought my broken cv, then I saw your video. Popped out the cv on the second pull. What a life saver, thank you!

Nice tip Mr. Bundy. I had a hell of a time getting mine out of the drivers side Honda Accord. I still have the old axle so now I’m glad I kept it to use if I have trouble in the future. Artie 😊

Thank you! This just saved me soooo much extra struggling and effort. Just wish I looked it up 45 minutes sooner. Haha.

Hi. Your method worked great on my 2002 Taurus cv axle. I could not get any leverage / clearance to pry the socket out and then I remembered this video. One good pull on the shaft and - out it popped. Brilliant! For those viewers having trouble with this method, I suggest trying to rotate the spindle inside the socket ( may have to put the ignition in ON position and use the tire on the other side to allow the rotation.) This changes the position of the securing ring at the spline’s end. I did not have this problem but I read that other commenters did. These types of KZread auto repair tips and techniques are invaluable for us DIY guys. Thanks.
