In this video i will show you how to replace a CV Axle on a 2005 Chevy Silverado. I believe this should work on all Silverado’s that are this style between years 2000-2006. If you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments section down below!

The 5 bolts on the one end are 57 ft lbs.
The 35mm nut is 177ft lbs.
Just curious do u have to use the nut to suck in the cv in more
i'm trying to do the driver side and that bottom plate seems to be in my way. What am i doing wrong?
Pro tip: Put a screwdriver through the caliper and into rotor slots to hold the hub still
What axle did you use
Screw driver in the rotor slots will stop it from rotating.
Is there torque specs at all for the axle nut and axle bolts?
DUDE!! Use jack stands!!! Aint no damn repair to save yourself money worth a trip to the hospital or the cemetary.
With all of the safety precautions ignored you still managed to complete your job with your health intact. Watch out for “Murphy” though. He will catch up on you eventually if you keep ignoring common safety practices. Also besides using proper torque on your fasteners you should grease the splines on the end of the axle shaft before installing. Other than that, good job.
Man. Torque specs lol, do not play games without torquing to spec
it looks like you didnt have to remove the tire to do this job but nice video other wise. if you didnt remove the tire then you wouldnt need anyone to hold the brakes.
Good video but with only having one point of contact with the jack. Not good. He should be using jack stands for safety
I have seen ten videos on this and your video been the best by far. Thank you
someone help me…my inner cv joint is missing 2 bolts and when I rotate the wheel in a circle i can hear the grinding coming from inside of where it connects. what do I need??
What size bolts are on the inner joint that connects to the front dif?
I really appreciate the video, you saved me a lot of money
good video thanks
Great video ! Alot of help . Thanks !
What size are the bolts on the rear? I’m having troubles finding them my truck when I bought it didn’t come with any on one side as it was missing the cb axle
What about the jack stand? There is no way I would do this job with out a stand. Crazy
Thanks man, that was perfect.
What I always do to hold the hub from spinning is take a smaller screwdriver and stick it through the top of the brake caliper and into one of the slots on the top of the rotor and it will hold it for you no need to mash the brakes or lock it in 4×4
If you don't have an extra person to hold the brake for you, can you just shift the transfer case to 4WD to lock everything in place with only one wheel off the ground at a time?
changing the passenger side on my 05, first video i watched and look like you got it covered. thanks
Brake everything loose with the vehicle weight & wheel on ground…then jack up
Got the two new front axles installed. Escalade drives like its brand new again. Thanks again for your video.
Thanks for your video. I will, be changing two on my Cadillac Escalade tomorrow. Your video was great.
