    What if you have a hub/bearing assembly seized inside the knuckle? Think this would work to chisel it off? 05 Grand Caravan with bad bearing.

    Super thanks for this video. My stuck CV axle ('05 Focus) had resisted about 20 seconds of air hammering and several hand hammers. I watched this video and was sure with this tool that axle would budge. But getting this tool or one like it was going to take some time. Somehow knowing this problem would get solved gave me an idea. Soak with PB Blaster 20 minutes. (WD40 did not work). I tried with the air hammer (cheap) one more time and it moved! The axle is out now and thank you once again.

      Dude. I tried the Harbor Freight 1-inch Bauer tool (1.2 ft lbs) with no luck. Then I rented a 2-inch Makita (14.8 ft lbs) from Home Depot and voila! Done in 15 seconds. However, I buggered up the CV shaft threads on my 2003 Jetta, so I used a file and cut new threads (M20x1.5) so I could reuse the same CV axle. Thanks for the tip!!!

    Just sharing my experience. 18 y/o car in the salt belt CNY. Need a new axle shaft. Nothing worked. Soaked in penetrating oil, really went to town with the sledge: Nothing. I tried using my rotor puller tool to hook onto the hub and use the forcing screw to push it through. Shocked that this didn't work. Saw this video and the successful comments convinced me to try it. This thing was stuck too well for the impact hammer. I decided to cook the bearing using the acetylene torch. it was only by using the torch and then full swings with the sledge that I got it to move. I thought the impact hammer would work after it started moving but it did not. the forcing screw did though. I'm sure the vibrations of the tool helped some. Good luck all with your projects. For the rusted junk, it seems to always come down to the acetylene torch for me.

    I find before removing the ball joints I use an air impact hammer with a pointed chisel usually will drive the drive shaft out. Another way is to use a three jaw puller on the hub with the puller shaft on the axal and after it's loaded tight against it take a heavy hammer & give the center bolt a few hard shots will also pop it out

  • @LucidVisionMane
    @LucidVisionMane 6 місяців тому

    Do I need to take out the ball joints and tie rod end before pushing the cv axle in with the hammer ? I’ve been trying it with those still attached , is that what can be keeping it stuck ?

    • @eriestreetgarage
      @eriestreetgarage 6 місяців тому

      Generally yes you would have to release the ball joint/knuckle/tie rod ends in order to get it out. If it's all rusted then even more so.

    Update, So I really wanted this to work. Unfortunately after 25 Minutes of using the rotary with full body weight behind me the only thing I accomplished was heating up the Bauer Rotary Hammer to the point I was concerned with failure. I live in NC and the parts have almost no rust. but this is just not moving on a ford focus 2009 front wheel. Looks like I am finally making a deposit into the junk yard for other robber barrons to steel parts from her. Has 200k but everything outside of the Wheel hubs are in good working order.....Win some lose some....

    So did you apply any liquid wrench or PB blaster.... Was heat involved? I have tried this and the axle did not move. I live in the south, so by no means is my knuckle any where as corroded and rusted as this car. I must be missing something. How long did you use the rotary hammer on the axle before it moved.
