All I want is my wife to get well for Christmas. We’re praying with you, Kenny.🎄
Glad to see you are back posting. Hope your wife’s health problems are all better . All ways enjoyed you videos
Use two of the old bolts to make alignment studs. Cut off the heads and slot the end for removal with a screwdriver.
I haven't done a transmission install in years but I still a some headless elites bolts that allowed me to install some transmissions by myself. Good advice.
Elites?
Spellcheck
Headless slotted bolts.
Excellent step by step video. Great tip on turn the wheel to remove axle. We prefer replacing the bad CV Joint with an OEM CV to buying complete axels from China. We have had 2 of the replacement axles break the Ball carriers - steel is inferior on many China CV joints. Carrier breaks & ejects the Balls into the boot - axle spins free just like your example. Never had a problem with OEM GKN Loebro CV joints since 1973. Joints do take some time to put balls back in if disassembled to clean & pack with new grease. Our prayers for a speedy recovery of your wife. We much appreciate your video productions.
I just went through repairing two axles on a Kia Sedona,lol it was a nightmare left side was stuck in trans.left side came right out, but after 3 days of head scratches, I got it lol, Mr Kenny. Hope you and your wife are doing well today, I could only send my prayers to y'all
The problem you had it that it a Kia.
@@Being_Joe yep, it's not my Kia, and it's still giving the person problems. It won't last much longer but I did learn a lot about a Kia in the process lol, never own one
@@bobby9195 Just say no to Korean cars. This food is great, cars not.
@@Being_Joe True ,put rear brakes on the KIA, yesterday, 1 hour job turned into 5.Now they can stop again 😆. Told the lady she better start looking for something else to drive,the KIA is past retirement age, kinda like me
Sweet. Something I would never try but the diagnostic in the beginning is worth watching. Thanks.
Friend of mine has 403000 miles on a 1997 es300. Original engine and trans. Has had axles a couple times, though.
Good job Kenny, wow you know your stuff and by all means the best there is out there. Hope your wife is doing better and will keep you and your family in my prayers. Keep wrenching my friend your the best of the best💪
Nice work brother Kenny! Thank you for showing us the details.
HELLO KENNY!!! SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!! Thanks for the video.
Great infomation, thank you! Happy Holidays
Timely video I have a s10 4x4 to do this to. Thanks Kenny great work.
Great job Kenny I always spray the splines with copper slip as well
Loved this video. Learned a ton. Thank you.
I wish more cars had ball joints that bolt on to the LCA… would make life a bit easier
Great job, that was real slick.
Nice work.
Well done! Merry Christmas to all!
I replaced a half shaft due to a bad CV joint decades ago. You made it look easy. It wasn’t. I struggled. Nice job.
Another great DIY video. 👍
They don’t want the wheels they want the tires. Welcome back Kenny, may God bless.
Merry Christmas Ken, I pray that your wife is doing better. God bless
Lots of people are good at changing parts out. Buy Kenny is a master of diagnosing. Many years of driving. Just changing fluids and filters at regular intervals have not had any major repairs other than normal. Learned this from folks like Kenny. He’s a great technician. There getting few and far between. If you have a good mechanic, Take care of him. I worked at a import shop year’s ago and some of our customers would bring us Bake Goods!!! I’m older( senior) and still do my own oil changes.
Merry Christmas, 🙏prayers for your family. JR in🇨🇦
20:00 👍 Should have checked the rest and did a double check just to be sure.. I had an axle come off my 81 VW van because I thought the same 😊
Nice job!
Thanks Kenny for another excellent video. My wife and I are moving back to my home state of NC next spring. Looking at the Greensboro Winston Salem area. But may go closer to the coast. My hometown is Wilmington. Which is a great place too. Would love to come by your shop sometime ! Prayers for you and your wife's good health.
The little brackets are to keep the cap from distorting
You are really a good teacher
Just subbed. You make things look easy, lol. I guess that's a difference tween a 'shade-tree' mechanic and a pro. You actually make car repair soothing, to me anyways, lol. Keep em coming.
Hey,Kenny. Great to see you.
I noticed that when I replaced the CV joints in my Holden Commodore that Holden had used an anaerobic on the CV flanged so I usually smear some RTV sealant inside of the CV joint ,it will leak Grease otherwise!
i use to have a 03 chevsuki zr2 with drivers front bolt on driveline like this pass side.
Kenny, would you do a short video on the chevy passcode starting problem. I recently saw one of you people do a short comment on the grounding system on the colorado, "07, and others.,....Behind the air box, they ground 4 systems to the fender with one bolt. Right there from the factory, this metal is painted over, so the bolt does not ground properly. I cleaned and sanded, and put a star washer, and tightened the bolt, and low and behold, not only did my starting problem passcode fix itself, but the blower resistor, for the fan 3 speed, started working again, as I replaced that too, twice already. Just something to look at...... Your vids are a great help, and thanks a lot. maybe this will help some folks..... Grounding on them Chevy colorados. I am not saying it will fix the passcode, but seemed to work for me. ,, as well as the 3 speed fan......Stan,, in Hawaii
Another good informative video, thanks. I would like to add just a couple of quick comments that may help others that I’m sure you did but didn’t show. If the car has ABS , check for codes before the repair just so you know what was there to start with. Before removing the axle, unbolt and remove the sensor or just pull it a little out of the knuckle. That way it can’t get damaged wrestling with the axle. Then of course, carefully match the original axle with the replacement. Is it the same size and length. Do the number of splines match? Does the ABS ring match the original in size and number of windows and is it undamaged? There is nothing quite like being bitten and having to do the job twice. Because of a damaged or wrong new part. Wrench on my friend. 😊
Good advice
I agree: It is critical, that the window count be absolutely correct, or the computer will sense a different wheel speed. That can render the ABS completely useless.
Ah, the scent of sulphur in CV grease! Got this to,do come Spring.
Never seen a driveshaft like that. Mine has the inevitable intermediate bearing.
Wish me luck......
I learned a lesson about wheel security nuts about 15 years ago when I got stranded for 9 hours due to a simple flat.
Every car that comes into the family my first job is to remove them.
Hope Meg is on the mend.
My son ( who's name is Terry ) got new old car and I told him about taking all the wheels off and checking everything out plus making sure the wheels will COME OFF . Didn't do it right away but last week tried taking a back wheel off and it was corroded on quite good , we had to pry it off after it wouldn't move kicking it.
Now he knows what I'm talking about.
Better at home than on the side of the road.
Always unwind that torque wrench!! That made me grin!!
Another great tutorial...thanks. I would love to see you do a rear cv shaft stuck inside the the rear hub on Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. I just did 2, and ended up cutting the hubs off with a grinder. Many hours of frustrating work for a simple job
Two words Slide Hammer
i always thought that metal piece under the bolts was to crush a bit to help retain the bolts
They were great cars. I had one-way nearly 400,000 K M. Unfortunately was written off when I was hit on the rear quarter. Was still in great condition. Never had an issue with it.
I've got a truck in my shop for repair that had a wheel bearing go out and it messed up everything . the rotor got into the caliper and caliper bracket ground the bracket bolts.
This is kind of related to this video, it about the different types of grease. Do you know any easy and foolproof way to tell lithium from moly grease? I've been told you don't want to mix them as it creates and acid but I've never been able to find a way to tell them apart. Keep the good stuff coming.
you know that made a ton of noise for some time before it got that bad.people cant seem to fathom that maintenece is 10 times cheaper than repairs.so they pay 10 times more than they need to.then complain they have no money.a self fulfilling prophesy.
Hi hope Mrs. Kenny is well on way to recovering. keepwell we all need you
Ya I had a Subaru that a customer brought in for a bad clutch . And when I drove it it felt like a clutch that was definitely slipping .but after I got it on the lift I saw the rear CV shaft was popped out of the differential . And I have seen the CV break and people think it's the transmission .
With NON - positraction differential if one tire is off the ground it doesn't go anywhere.
Broken axle - wheel off the ground ,
same thing.
I would have recommended to replace the axel on the driver side also.
Good point re: torque wrench
quick tip for you Kenny. Don,t let OSHA see that big jug if hand cleaner sitting in the eyewash station at 3:55. Love your videos, I'm glad the wife is doing better.
Great job Kenny ! Does the car need an alignment after this?
Question, why it is a good practice unwind the torque wrench?, I didn't heard that B4 and I'm a bit cluess 😅
Thank goodness you don’t use background music
Kenny I have a 1997 dodge ram 1500 5.9 iv done replaced tps map an idol valve an o2 sincer but still dies out when setting still an letting off the gas what could it be
How many miles on the car, and what is the condition of the axle on the other side?
do you know why the disc brake desighn was changed to use a bracket to hold the pads???????
The Toyota Camery has a "beat it out with a very large hammer" carrier bearing in the right side CV joint. Ask me how I know?
Definitely a Toyota thing; I think they still sell replacement CV boots that come with those grease packs. Permatex makes an high tack gasket spray that works great for sticking gaskets on parts which generally won't slip like RTV.
By me Toyota sells the CV and axle as separate parts, plus the boot is available on it's own.
I hate wheel locks to
Good job Kenny and how is your wife doing
One way I get the wheel locks off is with my air hammer if no key
If this was my car, I would probably request BOTH half-shafts be replaced, or at least, a new boot on the other half shaft. The idea being that if one went, the other's sure to go!
to save even more money just change the outer joint
I bet it had a clicking noise coming from the front before the cv joint came apart
For a long time as well, ignored by the driver. I hear that noise all the time in parking lots, people just do not care till it stops moving.
@@SeanBZAlol just turn up the music. 😊
I just made a drill guide to drill out these things
Looks like that lower rubber hose on the arm, ready is ready to let go
I suppose tomorrow, you will fix the issue with the shift lever.
grate video as usual. I always learn new tips and tricks when ever I watch your videos
Ironically, I got the teeth chewed off my axle on my Ford focus somehow on the way home from work one day years ago. The dealership tried to sell me a new transmission but I was suspicious cuz I bought the car new, I took very good care of it, took her to an independent shop and I've been using that shop ever since.
Dealers are sometimes like drug dealers just trying to get your money, I cleaned a bunch of dielectric grease of some connectors the dealer slathered and the codes never came back, this person spent 7 trips to the dealer and I found the problem on an oil change
That’s why they are stealerships 😂
Still wish you were my mechanic
The bolt bracket acts like a lock washer
that a really tired ball joint, kinda floppy
By me I just do CV joints only, the axles almost never get changed. But i guess with the US labour rates the axle is cheaper with the 2 CV joints, as opposed to the labour to remove the axle and transfer it, or the suppliers think mechanics are dumb.
I bought a brand new cv axle for $63 shipped. 40k miles and counting not a single issue
@@firstlast--- Yes but just the CV alone last one I paid $15, and it took 30 seconds to pull off the old one, once it was off the hub alone. Then 3 minutes of work to put the boot on the shaft and part fill it with the grease, and then clip the new one on after filling it with the remainder of the grease. 2 clips included, another minute to place and crimp in place, and put it back. Just doing the boot alone all you need is the boot, which comes with clips, and to wash the CV with some solvent to clean it. Boot is $5 or less for most vehicles. But then labour rate here is under $25 per hour.
A pronounced clicking on turns could have sped up the diagnosis.
Broken axle broken pinion axle popped out that bills gonna be high
👍👍‼️
I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say the boot was damaged, when the customer drove over a parking lot curb stone.
I would never replace just one on a 20 year old car. Always both sides imho.
That grease looks a lot like black moly - a real treat as if you get on your clothes, it will never completely come out. Slick as can be but nasty stuff. Oh, and, I would have put just a thin coat of moly on the splines.
Sweet old F150 LB in the background 😊
Hope your wife's health is improving and she recovers fully back to her old self !
I have back home in the US a big collection of bolt guides with heads cur off, and slotted to remove, from Cummins diesels in big rigs down to 5/16's lol.....Had 2 Lexus's LS 400's to work on at shop I worked for 3 times over 15 years.
1 a used car lot owner we did work for now and then towed to us, AFTER he tore it apart (V8) and broke a bolt off in the block trying to do a timing belt replacement. The guy was NO mechanic by any means, but a cheap ass trying to save $$ Of course I got the car in pieces, parts in boxes, a puzzle to put back together after removing the broken bolt etc.
2nd Lexus LS 400, another guy "tried" toremove the engine to swap out with a Japan used engine, he got with the trans, ECU, and wiring harness from Japan, so right hand drive. Well, I hated that job, the driveline is a real pain getting out. Ended up reusing HIS rebuilt trans, with the japan engine,harness,ecu. He wanted the old engine saved to put into a toyota truck ( a trend I found out, V8 into little truck)
He never did come in over a few years + to get his old parts he HAD to have, on a pallet.....Did have to transfer and use lots of his engines exterior parts, the intake, exhaust and many other parts. Talk about 1 helluva nightmare, but I got it done, and test drove it to be sure all was good.
I always hated getting jobs, the owners tore apart, couldn't get it done, then tow em to us/me lol Ends up costing them more $$ than they tried to save, attempting to fix it themselves!
Rubber cement for what?!?
I wish there were battery tools back when i worked as a tech had to stop in early 90ies due to injury. Having to drag an air hose around sucks compared to bayter operated tools these days
Remember, us old guys didnt get old by being stupid....
OR.... we got old in spite of our stupidity. Sometimes I look back & im amazed that I'm not dead twice over . Thanks for commenting & watching the channel! Keep wrenching 🔧
Man every dang battery is dead at this place
He forgot the brakes
So sad.... installed a cheap chinese made axle designed to fail as compared to the OEM one he took out that is repairable and will certainly last longer.
Remix everything 10 times look and act like it's 10 times harder than it is
Crackheads would steal your toothbrush if they can get dope for it.
If the customer is responsible enough to keep the wheel key in the glovebox, it's never an issue. In high crime areas locking wheel nuts is a deterrent. Yes any luck can be defeated given enough time and the right tools.
Thats N Easy Fix Axle Replacement U Dont't Replace CV Joint U Replace The Hole Axle Its Only $80 Dollars On Oreillys and Problem Fox 😂😂😂😂😂
What state do you work out of,i love ur work and videos, continue the great work !!!
My Camry also had a bolt on Drive axles I replaced them both in 10 below zero doing a snowstorm outside it was fun not
