Thank you for this video ! this helped me replace a broken passenger axle on a Nissan versa 2008
At 3:10, you can tell it was edited. Watch it from 3:00 …
Re-inserting the driver side CV axle is really tough. I wish they showed what they actually did to insert it because it’s not humanly possible by hand. Now i’m wondering if i’ll mess something up if i use a hammer… is there another tool that works well?
Is an alignment needed afterwards?
At 1:15, you state to remove the 'wheel speed sensor from the steering knuckle', but you don't have an arrow pointing to that item. When you reassemble, at 4:09 you also state to reinstall it, but again no arrow.
Removing the pinch bolt for the ball joint on the control arm instead of removing the hub assembly from the suspension via 2 bolts on the top is insanity. 9/10 Versa's are going to have the pin bolt so rusted and corroded that you will destroy the entire joint trying to remove it (I got it out half way after hammering and half a can of penetrant and had to resort to cutting the end of with a Sawzall, finding the OEM bolt was a nightmare and took weeks). Once the bolt is out, the ball joint itself is almost guaranteed to be as big of a headache to get out as pinch bolt, the same process was repeated and it resulted in me removing the entire hub assembly so i could hammer the ball joint out. This effectively made it worthless, and the only way to replace the joint is the remove the entire control arm. If you are replacing the left side, this necessitates removing engine mounts and raising the transmission somehow etc, etc…
This tutorial is prescribing months of headache to any Versa owner foolish enough to attempt to mess with the ball joint on the control arm… I think it is irresponsible to not inform people watching this video that the hub assembly can be moved via removing the bolts that connect it to the upper suspension with relative ease allowing the CV axle to be removed just as easily.
I really appreciate this video series. I have a CV boot with some damage (or so the dealership told me) but have not noticed any clicking yet. When or if I experience problems I will probably replace the drive axle as per this video rather than changing out the boot as it seems much more cost and time effective.
