I can't see how he got the axle out that easy without shearing the guide pins. I literally had to cut the axle in half with a torch. Then I had to put the bracket in a vice, heat the shit out of it to knock the other end through. I want to make a video to show how difficult this job is.

@hardlymovingpro

If you live in the rust belt, the exposure to road salts can rust stuck the center axle bearing carrier. There were times where I had cut the axle out.

Hands down the best explanation on KZread of how to do this job. Took me less than an hour and a half, and that includes set up and clean up. I just finished mine, and I feel like I won the car maintenance lottery. My carrier bearing wasn't rusted, and once I took off the snap ring, my assembly just slid right out. My advice is to remove the brake caliper bracket before sliding out the cv axle from the wheel bearing, and to have PLENTY of light by the carrier bearing when you're trying to put the snap ring back on. I was trying to do it by feel, and it took me 15 minutes of trying before I put a magnetic light in the area. Only took less than 5 minutes to slip it in after that.

Good evening (so thankful for your vids), this job is wearing me out! I have a 97 lexus es300. So far, on the passenger side I have replaced the control arm, tie rod, ball joint, sway bar and the axle. That axle was a breeze to remove. Putting in back in.....not so much. That doggone snap ring.....gee whiz! I had to seat the bottom half of the ring in place, then get a long piece of rope and attach to the top part of the ring and get my son to pull it down from the front end of car to get to snap it into place with a flat head screwdriver. I had to put down the nose pliers (arthritis in hands). The opposite end of axle does NOT want to go back into the knuckle end. I'm getting major resistance. I gotta take something off again to get it in there. My nerves are on edge. I had to walk away. I'll pick up where i left off tomorrow.

Thanks - great video! Very helpful to understand all the steps before tacking my own. I just changed the driver & passenger side CV axle on my 2012 Toyota Sienna. Only removed the lower control arm (2 nuts & 1 bolt) and was able to move the strut around to remove the axle. I really dreaded the upcoming fight with that carrier bearing rusted into the housing. Purchased special carbide cutting blades, hammer bits, pry bars, etc - only to decide to try soaking the bearing in Seafoam Extreme Marine overnight - and you won't believe it. Once I removed the clip and bolt, while pulling the lower control arm off, the shaft just slipped right out. I was blown away. The interior showed signs of rust and I definitely saw rust drain when I doused it in lube, but never thought it would literally dissolve it. The key was letting it soak overnight, just like Project Farm recommends. Hope other experience same results. Thanks again for taking the time to share your video - wouldn't have tackled this without watching your experience.

Nothing. Even tried removing the bracket only to learn there's alignment pins that prevent you from removing it!!! Once out, ended up having to hit it with a full sized sledge and a full swing even after chiseling out most of the bearing and beating it up on a bench. Whew.

Thank you for this video, truly appreciate it. Used it as a guide to replace mine (20007 Camry) and everything went smooth, except for the center bearing removal which required a torch. Few questions if you don't mind. (1) by disconnecting the knuckle from the strut and letting it hang, is it possible to rip the tie rod end grease boot? (2) I used an aftermarket axle from Autozone. When installed, the metal dust shield on the axle touches the lip of the axle seal. Is it supposed to press fit inside the lip? In this case it wouldn't be possible given the dimensions. (3) When rotating the axle by hand in neutral, I hear an initial clicking noise coming from the transmission, almost like it takes a moment for everything to engage, then it goes away as I continue to spin the wheel. I only hear it on the replaced side. Not sure if this is normal. I don't hear any weird noises while driving; however, when shifting from P - R, it makes a loud popping noise. Trying to figure out if everything is okay, or if there's a problem with the Duralast axle. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

A loaded knuckle means you don't have to go through the hassle of pressing out the bad bearing and pressing in a new one with the wheel hub. To replace the knuckle, you need to detach from the knuckle: 1. Lower control arm 2. Suspension Strut 3. Outer tie rod end 4. Brake rotor and caliper. 5. Push out the cv axle from the splines of the wheel hub.

That's another way of doing it to get enough clearance to remove the outer cv shaft from the steering knuckle. A little more work IMHO. Never had alignment issues with Toyota vehicles where I removed the strut mount bolts. I'd agree with alignment problems with European cars. On a Infiniti I30 (aka Nissan Maxima) that I had an alignment issue, I fixed it by getting both wheels off the ground, loosen the suspension nuts, twisted the wheels in the opposite direction of the alignment pull, torqued down the bolts and then everything straighten out!

Just standard wheel bearing grease so the spindle won't be so difficult to remove next time it may have to be removed.

Your video is great! thank you! What brand do you use- OEM Toyota or aftermarket? Could you recommend? Thank you!

Thanks! Never had a problem using the Cardone brand CV axles. Good price and consistant quality.

If you remove the lower ball joint most of the time you don't have to worry about getting it aligned afterwards or you can scribe where the strut mounts onto the the housing

About to do my 2006 Toyota Sienna passenger side CV axle ,you mention dielectric grease for the input shaft splines and grease for the bracket bearing and outer splines for the cv axle, what kind of grease exactly were the two , thank you.

Use dielectric (silicone) grease where the axle rotates on the output shaft seal. Use axle grease where the center shaft bearing slides into the bearing carrier to prevent future corrosion.

Thank you sir! Do we need to replace the transmission seal? cause some cars do have transmission seal

You can if you want.

Great Video. I have highlander 2011 V6 AWD. The driver outer boot is broken. Do you recommend i change the boot only or change the whole axle? the OEM axle is expensive so I wonder if you recommend a certain aftermarket brand. thx

If the boot split was recent (meaning no moisture or dirt had time to ruin the bearings and cage), rebooting may be worthwhile. Here's a link to a video showing you how to do it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZiTxcSSZtfVf6Q.html Otherwise, you can get a APWI, SurTrack, Cardone or GSP brand cv axle replacement.

Nuts to buy OEM for this. Way too much $$. Just buy Cardone replacement. I have have good experience with mine after replacing

You made that look easy buddy
