Outstanding video. Clean, neat, no loud music and to the point. Wish more diy ers followed your example.

I spent hours of my time trying to get the driver's side axle out finally I gave up. I watched this video I got it out in one minute. Big thanks 🙏.

Can't be better. Easy explanation , all the tools included 110 out of .100 👍👍👍

Great video, thanks for uploading.. I'm doing my DS next week.. this was great info.... I'm just coming up to 300000 km on my 09 Yaris LE, fwiw... that trans fluid looks awful... I use a vacuum syphon to pull 2 liters out of the transmission (through the fill tube) every 50-60000 km (starting at 120k) that way you end up with a full fluid change over 200000 km. I only use Toyota ATF for replacement. Still runs strong and gets about 55 MPG on the highway. Cheers from. W Ontario Canada.

Thank you for the no bullshit tutorial. You saved me a lot of time.

Thanks dude, the drivers side was a pain in the A, I followed your method with the crowbar and done !

Great job on this video man. This is all of the info I needed to do this quickly and properly.

Great video! Never did CV's before and my sisters car needs them badly! I know what I'm doing this weekend...

23 mm turned into 33mm somehow. But good straightforward explanation. Would also like to note that you almost never need to pry. You can often push it in and twist a bit to release the snap-ring...as I've done with every CV Axle I've ever changed. First time doing a Toyota will be today. 2008 Yaris. Hence why I looked at this video. Hopefully I wont need the pry bar.

Great reference vid! Thanks for the torque specs! Super helpful!

Very good video's, my 2008 had 30mm nut, i also left strut bolts tight so no wheel alignment, just popped ball joint.

Cristal clear ! Good job !

Very good video. Just what I was looking for.

Good video I am going to do this today on a friend's car

Great video very easy to understand I appreciate it thank you

I tore my abs sensor. Don't forget to release the sensor first

Thank you so much!!

I fuckin love you dude!! I have been trying to do this and have not been awake to find a good video!! I could fuckin bear hug you.

Need to have your tire alignment checked after CV shaft or shafts are replaced.

Yes you will want to have it checked because you will have to disconnect the steering knuckle from the strut.

Have you ever had a problem getting the axel out of the transmission? I got that far and am stuck. Feels like the pry bar is going to break before the axe comes loose. I removed the boot and hub end of the axel from the part stick in the transmission and am going t try to get it with my slide hammer and/or puller 🤞🤞

It will take quite a bit of force have you tried hitting the pry bar with a hammer to try and break it free? If not check with your local auto parts store they may have a rental tool like this www.amazon.com/dp/B09B1XPQQJ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_WMS0RWD4YXH1ESKVSF7A?linkCode=ml2&tag=bluecollargar-20 or this tool which would connect to your slide hammer amzn.to/3VhTZyA

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE yep thanks I didI try that. toiled with the pry bar/ hammer combo for literally hours. Eventually got it off using a slide hammer with a steel cable looped around the axel between axel and the transmission. Spent all day doing the drivers side. After the steep learning curve I was able to get the passenger side done in a little less than an hour. Only to discover that my bearings are the culprit. The boots were torn so probably good that I replaced them despite it not fixing my issue.

Great video ! I have a toyota yaris 2007 sedan i had to replace both cv axel i went into a DIY GARAGE to the job i was able to remove the passengers side axle the most difficult part was to put the new one and i damdaged the seal on that side there is no leak after i put it anyway. the driver side was more difficult to replace the mechanician told me that he need to buy a special tools to remove the cv axial on the driver side since its located in a very a difficult area (iwas surprised he said that )now i am to that point to replace that. idk if u can help with an advice ?

It is located in a somewhat difficult spot to get to but as you can see in the video I was still able to get it out with a basic pry bar without damaging anything. There is a little slot on the cv axle where you can put the pry against that helps. Or there’s a couple tools that will help amzn.to/3Qx7pVm Or this one amzn.to/3QalTuw but I would just try with a pry bar first it does take quite a bit of force to pop it out.

Does it have/need an ABS ring? I'm looking at this part but I'm confused about whether the ABS ring is required, since the car has ABS but I don't see an ABS ring on the axle.

If the axle your replacing doesn’t have the abs ring then you have the magnet style sensor that senses it through the wheel bearing so no you don’t need the abs ring.

Yeah it was atf when you pull the cv axle out some fluid will leak out it will be very little and won’t effect the transmission’s fluid level.

You don't have ABS brakes?

I noticed you didn't change out the axle seal on the transmission. Have you had any leaking/weeping from the seal after the change?

@BLUECOLLARGARAGE

No problems yet. I’ve only change out the seal if it’s leaking before hand. When your pulling the old one out or putting the new one just use caution not to damage the old seal and you will be fine.

No, there’s really no shake on the steering wheel. You just hear the rotating rumbling going on. Sounds like where the axle slides into the transmission. I jacked the front off the car up (both wheels off the ground) pulled ebrake, put it in drive, passenger tire was rising, driver side wasn’t, gave it a little gas and as soon as the driver side tire started turning the noise started happening and the tire was wobbling.

The wobbling is in the tire, if you drive real slow you can feel the wobble. Almost like when you have a bent rim on a bicycle
