Wheel Alignment At Home With String

Let's take a look at how we get a rough wheel (toe) alignment at home, getting things good enough to take it into the alignment shop. This an unscientific method and also doesn't account for vehicles that have rear alignment as well. It assumes the rear wheels do not have toe alignment.

Remove Seized or Stuck CV Axle From Hub

Updated July 2021: Amazon link to a hammer with the bits included. amzn.to/3wnJJYQ Today we learn the easiest way to remove a seized axle from a hub. I watched countless videos, used heat, large hammers, even let it soak in lubricant for an inordinate amount of time. Nothing really worked for me unfortunately and I resorted to yet another tool, a rotary hammer. There are things such as air hamm...

I bought a $350 1990 Geo Storm and today we see it in it's current condition. As you can see it's pretty rough, join me as I go through and try to get it back on the road. The Geo Storm and Geo brand itself is a unique brand of tiny vehicles. I apologize as this is my first UA-cam video, sometimes I don't know wtf I'm saying. If there's a slight interest I will probably invest in better equipme...
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.
Those generally have to be pressed in so its worth a shot if you have the tool. Otherwise might be worth just renting something to give it a go. Someone commented that they were getting snap rings and what not out with it afterward.
@@eriestreetgarage It's a hub bearing assembly. No pressing bearings in. The bearings are already in the new hub. I know they get corroded because it's steel on aluminum.
@@BellefontePerson hmmm yea give it a shot if you have it laying around or a rent-a-tool close by.
I love this video but I'm stuck at the hub it won't move at all to get the the cv Axl 😅
Will this always work on northern rust belt cars ?
I think it's one of the best options but never foolproof unfortunately. Some have reported hammering on it for 15 minutes before it budged. If it doesn't work the options become limited.
I want one of these but the pick your part that has one said they don't sell cars 😭
So happy I found your channel just bought 1991 geo storm running for 300 going to be doing some work on if ur videos are gonna help a lot great way of breaking everything down very good visual explanation
Honcs light bulbs still working? 😶
So the car that you have is a 1990 geo storm. For some reason you have a window sticker and manual for a 1993 model. I had a 90 geo storm GSI back 1995. Looked exactly like what you have. It was a great reliable car. Would love to be able to find it again Thanks for the videos
Knock the stut out first bro then hit ur axle with a 3 lb hammer don't need air hammer knock ur strut all the way out take a pry bar to the lower control arm then knock ur strut out then hit ur cv axles if it womt go spray it with a lil free all and wait 15 min and then tap it i do it every day it works
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.
Very nice! A few others have said it took 15 minutes of hammering it. Glad you got it out. 👍
Life saver!!! Thank you
I was having the same problem with the cv axle not being able to extract it with out cutting it for 3 hours did everything then I watch ur video and went to Home Depot rent a hammer I and tried again and it took me quite literally 15 seconds holly molly ! They charge me 10$ for renting the tool now I’m considering getting one hammer
Rock on, I'm glad it's worked for you!
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!!!
@donshade glad you guys got it going!
This is my geostorm that I paid $350 for. I paid $350 for this Geo storm let's take a look at it. This storm cost me $350 cash. Let's take a walk around this storm I bought for $350.
I went out and bought one of these Harbor Freight tools and it did NOTHING! A baby woodpecker would have been more effective. If you've got a Chrysler minivan with a stuck hub, try something else.
What is that tip on the totary hammer you're using to push against axle?
Wow. Just wow. That was so satisfying to watch i het that felt amazing!
I also had 1 back in 05/06 and i couldnt figure out why it didnt wanna run
Love this , brilliant idea .
I loved my storm! I
Hi mate this didnt work for me it seems like its rust welded in there, do you have any other ideas
I would be soaking it for a day or two with penetrative oil or even something like diesel, maybe a little heat, and then try again. Some users reported trying it for 15 minutes before it freed itself. Personally, I was getting ready to cut everything out if it hadn't worked for me.
how the hell do people find cars for so damn cheap
Brother if only I recorded the entire purchase process in the hood and driving it home. Wild shit lmao 🤣
Where did you position the Jack stands and the original jack when you lifted the car? Also thank yo for this video, it's very helpful :)
AHAHAH u serious bro? I hope this works for me. Going to try it tomorrow.
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.
Thank you! Been struggeling with this for hours!
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
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 ?
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.
I was literally thinking of using that same tool from bauer
Beautiful car. not many around. N mn here
This guy does not oil undercoat
This worked superb on a FWD Ford Transit! Beating the crap out of it with a hammer didn't move it the slightest. Hammer drill? Came loose without a sweat. Your a lifesaver, thanks!
High torque impact and the slide hammer hub attachment with the black rod to push the axle in
That's a slick storm !
2:11 is where he tries. Save some time
I just got a ‘90 GSI, I love it. I wish I could find more detailed info on all of the parts. My radio, cig lighter, and interior lights are out. Also something is loose, I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s a small den that house the dash light dimmer and other features. If I pull on the knob a bit my dash lights turn on but not for long 😅
After trying with big hammer, lots of heat & penetrating's fluid, gave up and went to UA-cam. Dug out my old air hammer. I too was skeptical...... Worked like a champ - thanks so much for sharing! It really worked
Glad it worked for you!
Worked in seconds after I struggled for hours with a hammer! Great tip
Amateurs . .
After watching this video, I realised I had a hammer attachment in my air tool kit. Fired up the compressor😮 and started hammering away. Took a bit of time and fiddling with the pressures, but the shaft eventually let go! I thought I was stuck! Thanks again for sharing the technique.
Excellent! Another victory!
Great trick
And PB Blastet
If not, just a small air hammer works
Usually a few shots with a baby sledgehammer release it.
Only this worked for me. 10 years old car. 2 weeks of other failed tries.. Used 3 penetrating rust dissolvers, 2 big hammers, damaged axle. Used heat upto 250°C, used and damaged 2 hub pullers.. nothing worked, apart from this. Brilliant idea
LoL what a shit show thats how every repair of mine goes. Glad it worked!
Does it come with that pin to punch out the axle
It does not, no.
@@eriestreetgarage unfortunately this hammer drill was to weak for the stuck axle on my truck
Omg trying now
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.
I tried basically everything before that besides pullers and presses. There have been a few that have commented that it took them 15 minutes of hammering before it popped out so it seems to be shear luck if it comes out as quickly as mine did.
@@eriestreetgarage thanks........I appreciate the additional info. I am worried about using too much eat because the seals on the inner shaft. Not looking for more work :(
@@constitutionalbacker1stame787 Yea I probably shouldn't have used the heat but once you get to day 2 and 3 everything goes out the window lol.
Wow this is insane, I was lucky with a 7 ton puller and a couple of hammer hits ….
That was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing that. I hadn’t thought about a hammer drill, but it makes perfect sense.
My axle shaft is so stuck in the hub I was hammering with a punch for a solid ten minutes and nothing hopeful that this work I drive an 03 Camry
