Thanks for the video. What I did for the 21 mil nut/bolts was use the Arm that comes with the scissor jack. I had that on one side and my ratchet on the other. With the long arm, it provided a lot of leverage to take those bolts, nuts off. Then I used like an elliptical type motion to take them off/on with little ease.
Hi I have a Nissan Altima 3.5 SE Coupe. I went to Autozone to get both the Driver CV Axle & passenger however they didn’t come with cotter pins and the driver axle will not participate in going in the transmission.
Cotter pins don't normally come with the axle. The driver side is always a bit difficult because of the snap ring on the transmission side of the axle, try turning the snap ring till the opening in the ring is facing down (towards the ground) then align the spline of the axle and the transmission, slide it in till it stops and then give it a hard and sharp push, you may have to do it a couple of times for it to fully seat.
Very detailed instructions. Thank you for the video.

Thank you mate for the very detailed video. Going to get my hands dirty and try this next week.
would a loose CV axle replacement cause a rattaling sensation?
Is a same procedure on a 2016 also yes no
Was your steering wheel shaking driving on the highway before you replace the cv axles?

Does the new axle survive from the lowering?
Howd you get the front so low? The sway bar end links are maxed so should i drop those
Good job!
