Thanks guys. You're video saved me about $300. I was initially nervous about doing this job because Alldata procedures had me removing the stabilizer link, the tie rod and separating the ball joint from the knuckle. But your video showed me how to do it in a snap without doing any of that and without requiring a wheel alignment. I replaced the RH CV axle on my 2001 Buick Regal exactly the way the video showed. Took me less than an hour not counting the time to get the right sockets for the old axle nut and the new one.
Here's a tip, jack up one side having it tilted to one side and the fluid will stay put when removing the cv axle, one side at a time you should be good and this goes for all vehicles that need cv axle replacement
Thanks again for posting the video. I am a master mechanic myself. Mike always seems to have really excellent ideas on easy, safe ways to repair vehicles. Thanks
The kind words are just the truth. Too often people assume because the information is on the internet, the information is correct. Unfortunately this is not so. I have more college credit hours in Auto Tech than I do in nursing. I could and had built cars before attending tech school. I took and passed all 8 ASE exams in 1999 and 2000. Whenever I followed Mike Greens examples, I found a way to repair the problem quickly and safely. Most important is safety. Too often on instructional videos safety is not addressed. That behavior allows for tragedy. Also an improper repair does the same. So, thanks again for the videos.
Just received your two axles for the front of my 2002 Monte Carlo. Will be replacing them soon using your direction. Will let you know how all went when I am done. Looks so easy I hope all goes well.
A good tip is to replace the seal that the axle goes through and into the transmission. It's only a couple extra dollars and good preventative maintenance.
Drivers side seems different. My strut extended and will need to be compressed to line back up. Y’all do a great job on videos. The videos made me start ordering parts from y’all.
If I'm replacing the axle, along with the control arm, tie-rod ends, rotor... pretty much everything but the knuckle... it will all come out together if I disconnect the right parts, will it not?
Would it not be a good idea to replace the transaxle bearing seal at the same time... for a minimal cost while its all apart. But thank you for the video it shows much better how to do this than other videos.
Great video. Shows exactly the steps and tools needed. Only wish I had a lift. Jack stands work well though. I am assuming the connection of the shaft to the transmission seals itself so there is no leak, Thanks again Wayne
That video is very helpful but is there anyway you could show what the axle seal looks like for the passenger side because I'm leaking transmission fluid from my axle seal and since I don't know what the seal looks like I don't know which one to buy
doing this at work on the driver side and the entire output shaft came out with the old axle, put it back in with the new axle and now it won’t fully seat. the output shaft feels more loose than it did originally and now either way i put the output shaft back in it’s loose or either too far in or not in all the way
So last weekend I replaced the sensor behind the harmonic balancer and after dropping the car and putting it in drive, the car wouldn't move. I tried every gear in my FWD but only one of the front tires will spin at a time and when accelerating, I can hear a loud clicking sound coming from the front tire. Jacked it back up to inspect the brake caliper pins, greased and cleaned them and put the car on jack stands. After putting it in either drive or reverse, only one of the front tires would spin at a time while idling. Cleaned the caliper with brake cleaner, banged on it a little with a hammer to hopefully loosen something up but still nothing. The car with almost 300k miles has been having problems with the transmission hard shifting and rarely slipping so I added a bottle of Lucas transmission slip. Could it be the transmission if only one of the tires is affected at a time? I noticed that either the driver side tire or the passenger side tire will spin at one time but they won't both spin together. Any ideas what it could be or how I could diagnose the problem? Could it be the CV Axle shaft? First only the front driver side tire would spin and the passenger side would slowly tick around when I had the car on jack stands but now the driver side won't spin but the passenger side will. I haven't done anything different. I've posted on multiple forums looking for ideas as to what the problem could be but nobody has responded yet.
+William Rodriguez This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I have an 04 Monte Carlo SS 3.8 that needs a new passanger side CV axle. But when I purchased the correct one it didn't fit. My mechanic also bought one and it didn't fit. Could the transmission of been replaced? And how would I find out what axle id need now if it was?
+James Fooks Thanks for watching! That is certainly a possibility, but not something we would be able to confirm for you. There should be some markings on the existing transmission to identify which model it is, which can help you find the correct axles!

I’m sure glad I found this video. Did my driver side this morning. If you follow the video exactly it’s not a hard job. I found removing and hanging my caliper out of the way helped. First time doing a axle. 2004 Monte Carlo Thanks for posting
Hey 1A, I have a leak on my 02 impala(3800) it just started leaking where passenger CV axle goes into trans/differential(whatever this part is called) and keep having to add oil! So odd as I would nvr think oil could leak here. Maybe trans fluid or gear oil. But really need any info I can get plz. Your vids have helped me for yrs, i did change motor gaskets an rack an pinion a good 6months ago. But nvr had any issue. It's not coming from crank seal, when cv spins it throws it all over once driving up to bottom of power steering pump even(between motor/firewall). Thx
Quick question. I seen some other videos using an 36mm socket, instead of the 35mm to remove the axle nut. Which one is it, are there two different sizes?
I needed a 35mm to get the old axle nut off and a 33mm to install the new cv axle I bought from 1A auto. I suggest taking your car to the parts store to see what size you need to remove the one that is on it now, then when you get the new axle, remove the nut and and take it in and do the same thing. Save yourself the hassle of finding out mid job.
The part shown in the video does fit some 2007 Chey Impala applications so it should be the same or a similar procedure. Thanks for checking us out. Shop here for high quality auto parts: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c +Mid-west_man
Was this Oil leaking out when the CV was pry'd off? I have a oil leak today that's leaking rite where the same axle goes into trans/differential or whatever. I could see trans fluid or gear oil leaking here but its 100% oil from rite where axle hooks in past rubber boots etc. Bad seal? Or will changing whole axle fix it, any info is greatly appreciated. Your vids are always the best! By far. Any1 with knowledge plz let me know. Already had to do motor gaskets then rack an pinion(not fun). But it went well and ran great for months.
Mine is a 02 impala 3800. Forgot to mention that. But it just dont make sense to me. And I know my stuff normally. Just really odd, I watched it start leaking as the wife started car for me etc even. Jw if its possible for black oil to leak their, and I even have to keep adding oil in motor. Not trans fluid. Baffled need info b4 can fix this. Thx, u guys rock
What's the name of the part where you took the strut off from? The tie rods, control arm, brake, and wheel bearing also connect to it. I can't find it anywhere
+Juan Saucedo It should slide back into place fairly easy for you. Here's a link to to replacment axle on our website, that's shown in this video. www.1aauto.com/cv-axle-shaft/i/1aacv00017?UA-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
Question?? I have a 2009 Malibu and need to replace the passenger side. I am concerned about the strut/shock. How do I know if I need to compress the springs to keep the shock from coming apart or getting hurt??
+teburg10 Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this in mind for future repairs. www.1AAuto.com?UA-cam&CTA%20Comment& 866-403-3393
I replaced the bearing on my 2010 Impala and had a hard time getting the CV axle to loosen from the bearing... so much so I put an old axle nut on the end and had to hit it with a hammer to loosen it up. Now it appears there is some minor vibration in the front end. Could this hammering have damaged the CV axle, even though it was rusted solid in the bearing?
+Ranger Rick Unfortunately it could have damaged it, yes. It's always advisable to use a rubber mallet as that will help to absorb some of those vibrations. Otherwise, you should soak it in penetrating oil (e.g. PB Blaster), wait a couple of hours, and then use a hub pulling tool.
Axles typically make more noise when turning. Usually when its a specific speed there's a motor mount issue, especially if it coincides with a shift point and on-throttle. You could double check this by shifting to 2nd or 3rd to avoid jumping into OD when you might otherwise hit it.
Unless I was replacing a replacement axle (which I doubt), the axle nut is a 33mm. This was on a 2004 Monte. That said, all I did was pull the two bolts off the strut, pulled the hub assembly outward, and got it past the end of the axle. It was a relatively easy job. Thank you for the help!

Excellent video and job. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!! C A U T I O N --------I watched 2 or 3 other videos and caught something worth considering.--------Before you loosen the 2 strut bolts to remove them , Scribe along on both the right and left sides of the holding bracket from bottom to top on the center piece ( steering knuckle ). When reinstalling , match the steering knuckle back exactly like it was by the marks before tightening. This procedure aligns your wheel and tire in the vertical position just like it was before removal. This keeps your tire from wearing on the inside or outside at the bottom. I think this has to do with cast and camber. I hope this helps.---Ernest E. Johnson
the question that i got is does this technique increase the chance that I'll damage the tension clip on the axel because I'll only have enough room to pry out the axel from 1 side instead of using 2 crowbars to fit behind the axel from opposite sides, so that i can pry it out with equal side to side pressure?
BTW if you can't take of the rims with kicking ect, put the hubs back in and leave them a little loose. lower the car and just shake the hell out the car like Chuck Norris. I wish i knew this before, spent 10 minutes kicking the hell out of the wheel. 😁 you should hear a pop.

Hey man is the driver side the same as the passenger?
I'm dumb wasn't paying attention
you guys helped me get my 2004 monte carlo to 317,000 miles before i wrecked it. hahah. appreciate what y'all do. thanks
Bro,I have a chevy impala with 290,000 tell me the secret to make it last longer.
And I was just about to remove the caliper, rotor, separate the ball joint, drop the control arm, etc.. Thanks for this. Much easier.
No problem. Glad to hear it helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
drop the lower ball joint move tyrod all the way out you will save the aligenment
I was to. Great description on how to do this. About to be changing both cv joints tomorrow.
That's the way I always used to do it. This is MUCH easier!

So do you need an alignment after doing this
Wow. Have to say u make it look so easy lol. My husband struggled for abt 30mins til i looked it up and found ur video. Thnx!!! 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

+Wayne Dibert Thank you for your order. Have a great day! 1aauto.com
How did it go!? I have a Monte Carlo and my CV, wheel bearing and my alignment is out of wack. (Went to a bad mechanic) 😞
A good tip is to replace the seal that the axle goes through and into the transmission. It's only a couple extra dollars and good preventative maintenance.
+Heath G Thank you for the feedback! 1aauto.com
yeah, but how do you remove the old seal?
is it easy to get out?
@jefffuehr366 there's a tool for pulling seals. It's not very expensive and yanks them right out. Ironically, it is even called a seal puller.
Drivers side seems different. My strut extended and will need to be compressed to line back up.
Y’all do a great job on videos. The videos made me start ordering parts from y’all.
If I'm replacing the axle, along with the control arm, tie-rod ends, rotor... pretty much everything but the knuckle... it will all come out together if I disconnect the right parts, will it not?
hey is it the same procedure for a 2000 Impala? Great video, one of many of yours that I've watched and saved a boatload.
Would it not be a good idea to replace the transaxle bearing seal at the same time... for a minimal cost while its all apart. But thank you for the video it shows much better how to do this than other videos.
On the passenger side of an impala, what does the motor side of the cv axle go into?
do you have video on driver side,as it is little different harder,with little access ,because the sub frame is on your way?
We currently do not. Thanks for watching
Great video. Shows exactly the steps and tools needed. Only wish I had a lift. Jack stands work well though. I am assuming the connection of the shaft to the transmission seals itself so there is no leak,
Thanks again

Would this be the same for a 2010 impala?

the question that i got
is does this technique increase the chance that I'll damage the tension clip on the axel
because I'll only have enough room to pry out the axel from 1 side
instead of using 2 crowbars to fit behind the axel from opposite sides, so that i can pry it out with equal side to side pressure?
BTW if you can't take of the rims with kicking ect, put the hubs back in and leave them a little loose. lower the car and just shake the hell out the car like Chuck Norris. I wish i knew this before, spent 10 minutes kicking the hell out of the wheel. 😁
you should hear a pop.
DO NOT HIT A BOLT WITH THE NUT OFF!!!!!!!!!!
You will mushroom the bolt and you will not be able to get the nut back on.
Nothing about replacing the seal?
No need to pop that ball joint but had to use a 34mm.
nice video
You really stressed the hell out of the brake line
The 2 bolts
35mm didn't work on my car. It wasn't big enough. 😒
It is NOT A 35mm. 33 is loose and 32 is too small
wished i watched this video before i tried replaced cv axle on girlfriends car did one thing wrong doing it!
