    I just finished changing the cv axle on my 2018 drivers side Nisan Altima, you know, the one that's just supposed to just pop out. Well, it didn't pop out, it didn't pry out and I'm working on in my car port on the ground and was about to give up and take it to a shop last night when I saw your video. I cut a slit in the boot up against the cup of the inner bearing holder with just enough room to fit the head of vise grips. I was going to give it a couple of test tugs and on the first tug it popped out. My life is complete.

    Thank you so much, I finally got my passenger side axel out with your solution. I tried prybars, slide hammer, cv axle popper forks and nothing would budge it. It took me about 45 minutes today to get it out this way. Anyone still having problems doing it this way, what worked for me was pull it like 3 or 4 times, rotate the cup like an inch and pull it like 3 or 4 times and repeat, on the 3rd turn I got it out on like the 3rd pull and I wasn't pulling very hard because I didn't think it was going to work. All in I probably spent 12 hours trying to pull this damn thing out and I got it out in under an hour with this trick. Thanks so much.

The half shaft got stuck, and I used pryer bars, and nothing... I just discovered your video and removed the grease, put the bearings back on the end of the shaft and put it back inside the half shaft, clamped down with my Milwaukee Torque Lock Curved Jaw Locking Pliers and pulled and guess what? it came out on the FIRST pull!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude, you rock..... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried this first with grease still on the part and the plyers fell off. Then I made a "clean" spot, repositioned the vice grips and "hammered" it this way about 12 times then pow! It fell right out! Only took about 15 minutes. Thank you! Now I can complete this "realitively easy" job! 👍

    I cannot thank you enough. I spent forever on the drivers side and finally got it. Then the passenger side did the same thing and thankfully I came across this video and it saved me so much time

    That's handy to know, I struggled with an 06 Focus CV axle years ago just trying to pull it out.

    Thanks bro I was ready to put a match to it, you know how it is when you bust a couple cold fingers trying to pry something out. My car thanks you, my neighbors thank you and I thank you, did it just like you did and it popped out on the first try thanks again man I'll be looking for your how to O's when I run up on another mess, this is the most helpful video I've ever watched. Don't mean this in a bad way but I thought I was the only one this stuff happened to lol. Have a good one man, thanks again

  • @ApexHotShot

    Hi. Your method worked great on my 2002 Taurus cv axle. I could not get any leverage / clearance to pry the socket out and then I remembered this video. One good pull on the shaft and - out it popped. Brilliant! For those viewers having trouble with this method, I suggest trying to rotate the spindle inside the socket ( may have to put the ignition in ON position and use the tire on the other side to allow the rotation.) This changes the position of the securing ring at the spline’s end. I did not have this problem but I read that other commenters did. These types of UA-cam auto repair tips and techniques are invaluable for us DIY guys. Thanks.

    Took me 3 hours to pry the crap out of the passenger side and told myself theirs gotta be a better way. I watched your video and man it saved me more time from getting all those bruises from tight spaces when I did this method to do the driver side.
    Thank you very much sir !

    I was fighting a cv axle for an hour and could not get it to move, love taps, pry bars etc. just wrestling the thing. I grabbed an old pair of vice grips tore the boot open and gave this a try and I think it was only three slides and it came right out, smooth like butter. So grateful for this solution and the price was right :D
