This video shows you how to install a cv axle shaft on your 2007-2013 Mini Cooper. A CV axle has flexible joints.

If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications.

For those with a virgin car, the outermost joint does not simply come out of hub. You will need a “hub puller” but beware the one O’Reillys has for rent does not fit the Mini bolt pattern.

Great tuitorial thanks. Given me ther confidence and knowledge to do the job.

[@21narc]

Make sure to put antiseize on the new splines that go into the hub. You'll thank yourself later...

[@Smakheed]

Really hope you're replacing that downpipe too.

Why would my driver side front axle on 2011 mini cooper Countyman be stuck

[@Smakheed]

you have removed the shaft, why top up the fluid in a halfass job, drain it all and replace it.

[@Smakheed]
