The best and easiest instructions I’ve watched on a civic that’s actually my year. Thank you so much.
Excellent video, clear, concise to the point and good visual representation. Much easier than I expected (first time ever doing fwd axles, have always had rwd vehicles)
Thanks a lot, clear instructions, good camera angles, your video was very useful, I'm confident enough to changes my axles now
I gotta say the quality of the video is beyond awesome, before this vid I never thought changing the axle was this easy, thx so much for post.
And this is why I love working on older Hondas. It doesn't get easier than that. Great video. Thank you.
Jason Ricci your welcome
Thank you very much - this video is excellent. Just one thing for anyone trying this at home : the technique of pounding with a hammer on the lower control arm taper at 02:46, in order to loosen it, didn't work for me. I actually damaged the thread of the ball joint, and had a big problem putting the castle nut back on, once the job was done.
Next time, I would use a metal wedge to dislodge the lower control arm, taking care not to damage the rubber gaiter. Thats how I ended up breaking the rusty joint open and by then as I said, I'd damaged the thread by hammering.
Again, thanks very much indeed for taking the time to make this video. It was very useful and saved me $$$$.
I damaged the thread on my ball joint too! Maybe you could share how you solved that? I figure I can either replace the ball joint or buy a die and try and restore the threads, but the bolt would probably just turn along with the die. New ball joint?
@@ericganassin9900 How did it go? Had to replace the joint?
Very nicely done and much appreciated. One and a half hours in the driveway and mine is fixed. I had no idea it was this easy. Thanks!
The best most efficient method I've seen of all the videos. Great work!!
stoker20 - hey glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks a ton for doing this video!
I've been wondering why my Honda has been making a clacking sound while turning.
I took a look at the axle after I watched your video, and sure enough the CV boot was ripped.
Wow u made it look so easy I’m going to tackle my son civic , I was debating on doing it on till seeing your video . Thanks great video 👍
Thank you for your video Paul. Being my first Honda, I just changed both axles in my 2000 civic, and it was easy after watching you do yours. I'm glad I changed the trans oil, it looked like it had never been done by previous owners, lol. Very good video!
Goof Ball - great glad it was helpful
Thanks a ton for taking the time to do this video. Gotta do one of these repairs soon on one just like it.
You just save me some money, thanks for the effort to make this video I like how you angled the camera to get all the step by step, thumps up sir.
man you are awesome, like others you have definitely saved me money and given more motivation to work on my own stuff even the more difficult jobs such as this one
Who would not like this video...
It was very helpful. Thanks. You should do more.
nothing like watching a seasoned pro to make working on cars look simple. nice videos sir.
Best axle removal vid on youtube ..im using it to help me pull a d16 n doing a kswap.thank u sir
This tracks nicely with the service manual for 6th Gen Civics. Well done.
Cool, Glad the video was helpful. It is always a great feeling to be able to accomplish something new. Great work.
I'm about replace my axles and this video just helped out tremendously. Good stuff!
I also plan on replacing the lower ball joints, and it looks like I'll be able to get to them during this, and use a gear puller to press it out.
Great view, great lighting, great video.
Ohhhh the blessing to have your own Mr. Fix it in the house.
Shout out to you Paul! Thanks! Definitely helped me out. You're very helpful and always go into detail! THUMBS UP!
Just did the passenger side and i'm about to tackle the driver side.
@TheBugzuki
I changed and refilled the transmission fluid. It only took 2 quarts. I used PB Blaster to loosen up the refill and drain bolts. It was a pretty easy job.
Thanks for these videos and for taking time to reply. You made my day!!!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
Very good guide! Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for the tutorial helped alot worked for my 1992 honda civic EG SI!!
Thanks much for the well-made, concise video!!
Easy breezy! Thanks for the video. My daughter's 98 Civic has new struts, tires, brakes, head gasket, timing belt, motor mounts and a radiator. The passenger side axle is up next and I hope I'm done for a while.
Thanks, good luck on the axle replacement.
Thanks buddy. I have a 98 and this has been very helpful ☺
Funny, I made a how to for CV joint on a Tahoe but never did my kids 2000 Honda Civic. So thanks for making yours I was able to fast forward to just what I needed. I wrench so could follow.
Key points I would not have caught dropping the lower cotter pin and bolt which allowed me to move the whole assembly. Also I could not get the cv joint all the way back in and thought it was the clip in the way but you showed just slamming it in with the weight of the CV joint itself.
Thanks for making your video, saved my butt today jobs all done ready to drive again.
David B Great, glad it was helpful.
The best and easy video of ever seen thanks ! You save me a lot of money
Glad you enjoyed it and that it was helpful. I should really get another civic and do more videos. A lot of people seem to still have them.
just did a trany replacement and head on my 96 civic ex 5 speed. did both axles and the clutch as well, love these cars. they last forever.
Very helpful video. Thanks A LOT Paul!
I like this guy, he makes great videos, Thanks so much
thank you!!! I got my old axle out and the new one in because of your help :D
The crows and barking dogs really add to the atmosphere
Awesome video. Very nice quality and tips. Going to see more =)
@TheBugzuki
Quick response! I got it done in less than 2 hours with your help! Your step by step are better than some repair manuals.
Thanks again.
I Like!
This really helped me today. Thank you 😌🙏🏽
Great video. will come in handy when replacing my b series alternator
good video man deffinately well explained and done
Thanks for the helpful vid man , this makes it seem alot easier. P.S the strut nut is welded onthe the strut so usually no wrench is needed. if you see it turning the welds have broken.. happened to me a couple times
Great video saved me a lot of trial and error thanks
Great, no frills video. Thank you.
Awesome video. Very very detail, Thank you
Good instructional video and very easy to follow, I now very confident to tackle this project. Thumb up. Thanks.
Excellent video, Paul. I would like to see you do a video of a front wheel bearing replacement on a Honda Civic. Your videos are clean and concise and mostly easy to understand.
that would a great idea, but I don't have a civic anymore. We also moved so I don't have the shop anymore. Sorry - hopefully someday I will be able to make some more videos.
Paul Wyndham haha a lot of fails
Alex Aviles - I don't think there were a lot of fails. I think I made some good decisions to put my life in a better position. Dannie asked his question 5 years after I posted the video. My brother needed a car so I gave him the Civic. I purchased a much less expensive house (that need work) on a couple acres and am working on building a new shop as I get other house projects done.
You can be a troll if you want and make fun of me, but I think I did fine and I helped a bunch of people with the video - even if I called it the wrong body style and what not. Thanks for watching and reading the comments.
you did it well paul.
best video ever...explained very well
mad props for the VIDEO "TheBugzuki"!!!! Thanks! I have an accord 01 and this is a good reference for me if later I mess up my cv axles...THANKS!!!!
I lold HARD when you were tackling the drain bolt..CANT USE YOUR IMPACT HUH???? LOL...AND THEN YOU LET THE MTF SPILL ALL OVER THE FLOOR LOL...have tackled that on my accord and the drain bolt is a PIA...again...well made video and very helpful THANKS!
Awesome video!!!! very clear and well done. keep it up!!
Thanks, for the vid! Three bolts, pry it out, put the new one in, and put the tree bolts back on and your done! Took me about 20m
This video was awesome! i had no idea this was so easy either saved tons of money not having to go to the stealership or local idiot haha. Thanks for the clear and clean demonstrational video buddy A+ in my book! I know tons of people (admit it or not) have used this to do the work themself.
The Best Video Ever, And Good Explanation.. Thanks!!!!
this was very helpfull and saved me a bunch of money
THANK YOU! made life so much easier with the vid than reading
Excellent video easy to follow and understand
thanks. Glad you liked it. Good luck with your car.
your video is so sample. The problem is some of the hondas the join is hard to separate . I had try with hammer, special tool to separate the join and nothing. but so far is a good video.thks
No way those parts coming off that easy.
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
Small item, ideally would have showed the axle nut after you removed it.
I liked that you said the price for the part and that you could get the part from a parts store as opposed to the dealer.
Another small item, ideally you would have shown what you used to make the dimple in the gold colored "end" nut.
Excellent camera angles and lighting. Good narration. Calm voice.
You made it look so easy!
Thanks for the video.. looks easy.
Thanks for the video. Looks easy enough.
Great instructional video. Thanx for sharing!
Great video, excellent views of all the work to be done, comments help as well, thank you everyone!
Great video!!
Excellent, thank you!
Worked perfect for my 91 civic wagovan automatic 1.5l. The only thing different i did was use a fork for the ball joint and
I jacked it up high, one 1 side and no fluid loss. Took maybe 30mins per side. Thanks
That is great info. Glad it worked and that's for posting.
Great vid, thank you 👍
Thanks for letting everyone know the size of the nuts and bolts made my job way easier
nice compressor tools made the work much easier definetly doing this tonight...
Nice video. I actually have to do this tomorrow. doing it as a favor for my friend. Ive done this before on a 95 and 99 ford escort and gfs 2001 honda civic, but still prefer to look at videos for education. Thank you...
Hey like said before you ROCK....Good to the last nut....lol. you give realy videos,,,Thanks Bugz..
very helpful video
thanks.
very nice vid and info
I watched this and just went out to the shop and pulled both drive axles. Everything was a little more stuck on my car (to be expected where I am) so it took me a while but the instructions were perfect.
Great video
Thank you. Awesome help.
Just a small tip. Just jack up the side that you’re working on so the trans fluid doesn’t leak. Oh and that’s a nice lawn mower
That's a good idea. Thanks for the tip. I will remember that next time I do something like this. It was the neighbors mower.
@yellowman328is
Glad I could help. Thanks for the comments.
@tom yarosz - my car does have a manual transmission. In order to keep the gear from wearing it does have fluid or gear oil in it.
Is very good your video man, thanks! !
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Great job
Ima give it a try. great video btw. better than paying another few hundred bucks for labor
Good work
awesome video!..very helpful!.
I see this video on 2021, good Man.
Yes, the owners manual says that you should use Honda Fluid, but it does state that you can use 10-30 Motor Oil temporarily if Honda Manual Tranny fluid is not available. I did not have a chance to go to a Honda dealer to get fluid before I had to replace the clutch. I have since then. Thanks for the comments.
Hello Paul,
My axle got broken in the middle.
I have the 1,5i LS civic Hatchback 3 doors. A new axle costs approx 800$ here in sweden. And I haven't found any used one yet.
Can I use the Axle from a Civic 1,4i?
Is the length. Splines and thickness of the shaft the same?
awesome video! you cut to the chase, two thumbs up!!!
Cool, glad you liked it.
excellent video.
You can probably get one at an autoparts store. I get most of my tools from Sears. So, you could also get a craftsman socket from Sears. I see lowes and Home Depot also have large tool selections nowadays. Hope that is helpful.
wow perfect instructions
Good tip i read from another video! Lift the whole side of the car and no/minimal tranny fluid leaks out. I'm about to check mine to see if I was already low, so this isn't written in stone.
Nice video man,Gracias
great video . thanks for sharing.!!
That lower control arm bolt took me a fucking hour!
Thanks so much great vid.
@pmanforme
It looks the same to replace the drivers side as it is to do the passengers side. The axle shaft on the drivers side is longer. All the suspension is the same and the axles attach the same way. Let me know if you have any more questions.
@kaleenicole3 Thanks Hope everything goes well when you replace your axle - if your going to do it. You can always send me questions if you have any.
I can say for a fact this is the same procedure as my 99 civic ex sedan 1.6l. Except for the part where the axle just prys out with a flat headed screw driver. I had to beat the axle for an hour before it finally popped out.
The inner CV joint slipped out of the transaxle case. When one axle slips out the other does not get power to it. Evidently, you didn't push it in completely. It should "click" in and you should test it by lightly pulling or prying out on the inner joint to make sure it is clicked in. In rare cases you might have gotten the wrong axle. When you compare the new with the old, make sure the snap ring is in the same position as the old one or it won't click in properly.
