2012 Nissan Murano Passenger Side CV Axle Removal / Replacement.

Easy to do. Always remember to use jack stands when working underneath the vehicle. I am not responsible for any damage you may due to yourself or vehicle. These videos are posted just to show you how I do the repairs. Remember to Subscribe!

This video really helped me with this job. My favorite part is when you show how that axel just comes right out 😅

They don't always come out that easy 😆

**Just a rather important note!**
In the future, Folks, I would double check the condition of the inner-most carrier seal, or "oil seal", or "differential oil seal", or whatever your parts counter, or dealer parts person happens to call it.
It's the one between the carrier bearing, and the transmission, and would also check the output shaft seal, on the outer face of the transfer case cover.
That's where the t-cases on most Muranos will often fail after a passenger side CV swap, because nobody either knows about, or cares to check that specific inner seal, before they slap the new one back in.
These seals can get ripped easily, especially on the older models, by the splines on the end of the mid-shaft, when it's passing through them on the way out, and the passenger CVs having the mid-shaft too, makes them a bit of a b*tch to get out without ripping something up 😒
Dealt with this on my 2014, and it took completely dropping the subframe on the backside, and loose dropping on the front, taking the case off the diff/trans, and opening it up to replace the seals.
This trans only has like a 1/4 quart of fluid in it, so even a small leak can end up very quickly and severely screwing up teeth in those diff gears.
Take a bright light and shine it all the way down the pipe, and check all the edges of your seals in there for any rips or flapping, that would let the tensions springs come loose.
I went to a Nissan tech at the dealership and asked him about this particular repair, and he said it's roughly marked as a 10+ hour rebuild, because they do a full rework on it.
Once I figured out which damn seal it actually was from the diagrams, I was able to pick up the right one, and the o-ring for the case cover, for just under $60 CAD, and while the time to do it sucked, it only took me about 8 hours.
That's with lots of breaks in between, cause I'm no tech, and my middle-aged ass hurt after laying on concrete all day 🤘😂

The part that the axle slid through that remained connected to the car that bolts to the axle. What's the name of that part?

[@steevnailer7593]

It connects the intermediate shaft and axle to the car

[@newgenstar7813]

what fluid you use to fill front end and location for fill plug

[@Aesthetics622]

You dont need to use any fluid bro lol These are new" and ready for installation, you would only grease them if you rebuilding them.

[@Aesthetics622]

So why not tell people a very important piece of information, on if the car is AWD OR FWD? lol 2 different pieces my guess is its FWD? due to the long head but good video other then that.

[@repair_tech_brian5388]

I totally forgot to add that. Thank you for addressing it. I'm pretty sure the procedure is the same as far as replacing goes.

[@Aesthetics622]

@@repair_tech_brian5388 it was mainly not to confuse” people” that are watching so they can see for example” the parts look different so they don’t get confused if theirs is a AWD it’s gonna have short heads on each side, where front wheel has a long head axle passanger side. Like this video here.

Are you a mechanic?

I try to be. A piece of paper says I am. 🤣
