This guy probably does this repair more times in a week than we do in a
lifetime. Doesn’t take a genius to use ANY type of hammer. He FULLY
explains about ensuring splines are seated properly PRIOR to matricating
the shaft. I appreciate him taking the time to help inexperienced guys like
me. Additional suggestions are fine but instead of berating his technique
how about a little appreciation and any additional HELPFUL comments
instead. I appreciate his time and effort FOR FREE people.
@madcuntom Ditto!
Hi, what happen if I got the metal dust seal bent? can I buy a replacement?
I got both sides bent. Thanks.
Not as barbaric as when I whaled on mine with a 4 foot long steel pipe!
Just kidding, I did it with a scrap of wood over the axle end and a
carpentry hammer. My Haynes manual said “slide it in gently” and I was
like, you’ve got to be kidding! I had to pry the hell out of it just to get
it out and I can see it’s not going all the way back in without some
“assistance”! LOL
Never a Steel hammer. Raw hide wood be better. so you don’t damage threads
if you miss
farrkkkkk i just repalced my cv joint on my toyota supra started at 10 till
abit ago and its not this easy….
Wow, I am seeing soooo many wrong things being said in the comments. Lol
some mechanics you guys are.
it makes me giggle that people write comments on here telling this guy what
he’s doing wrong, but if they know so much about it, why are they looking
up “how to” videos?
Thanks, Nate. We appreciate the info. If possible please try to put one
topic all into one video, similar to how Scotty Kilmer does it. Great
videos otherwise, just a bit difficult to watch 5-10 videos for each repair.
1-by putting to much grease in a bearring,you actualy will kill itit works
like this;the balls have to work to hard to roll tru the exxes
grease,therefor,heat is created…a lot,wich makes the grease melt and
eventualy runs away like a fluid,leaving the bearring without
lubricant…it will fail shortly 😉 2-you dont wanne hit a threaded end
with a hammer,put a nut on it and tap on the nut,protecting the
thread,otherwise you might end up having to repair the thread to be able to
get the nut on
@MrBlindbird last time i did mine (99 buick lesabre) i added grease (before
winter) now that its hot as hell here in canada, it all melted out, and
it’s squeaking like a mother fucker, im hoping ill make it to work tomorrow
and im going to buy one after and replace it, but hell this guy does it a
strange way
i just got faulty cv boot why do i need to take dam axle out???
it’s better to plunge the driveshaft in to the gearbox as this won’t damage
the splines or the joint that inserts into the hub
all he did was BANG BANG BANG =D
this guys explanation is so expert i understood everything, very
explanative (sarcasm)
@OLGSANCHEZ2010 son los brazos, el izquierdo
Followed every video, to the letter and presto. great presentation, clear
instructions and explanations. thanks so much.
I hope it goes this easy for me when I attempt to replace my cv joints this
weekend. Great how to remove and how to install videos. Thank you for
taking the time to provide them.
thank nice video i just replaced mine on a 2000 impala n the video helpd
alot
Ive heard that your never supposed to hammer on the cv axle at least on
hondas is that true ive never needed to hammer on them anyway just asking
This was the most stupid thing I ever seen. It`s fine to show others how to
do it but you have to do it right! First of all, you don`t use hammer on
it, ever!! and the seccond, you don`t need to hammer it anyway, just push
it in and give it a little tap with the axel it selfe. you don`t need to
hammer it at all. Before you teach others, make sure you know what you are
doing first.
In this clip….We will show you how to lubricate a shaft….
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i USE A OLD SHIRT AROUND THE HAMMER ITs SOFTNER. aN HIT NOT AT THE
BEGINNING. Slide it gently??, I think they lubed that is way goes more
gently. Do you lubeit?
For a second I thought u was van damm man! Only ur voice was a bit different
no man use a death metal hammer! 😀
I am good at disassembling and assembling a computer….but I would like to
know how you do the same thing with a car! 😛 Yeah! My CV Joint is broken
to hahahaha
muchas gracias amigo ya encontre el fallo era los cauchos de la barra
estabilizadora y los pivotes de la misma gracias
Did he really just use a hammer on that driveshaft?
We’re gonna talk about the proper service procedure… the proper service
procedure…
Oooooh hide faced mallet please, or you might damage the cv joint threads.
Good vid though.
Lucky ass… Doesn’t have to put his through forks…
videos are not organized … please have the clips labeled
In this clip… In this clip..
don’t know how important my comment could be but all my thanks to you bro
keep it up!
It is not worth the time to do boot repairs. Just replace both cv axles and
save yourself a huge headache.
You were awesome right up to the point of beating threaded end of the shaft
with a ballpien hammer….Ouch ouch ouch!!! Atleast put the nut on it. Then
soften the blows with a piece of wood so you don’t jack the threads.
Its better to use a piece of wood when hammering in the driveshaft to
prevent damage. That is place the wood between the hammer and hit the wood
rather than the drive shaft.
Again never use a metal hammer,as this can damage the splines, if must,
cover the end of shaft, with wood, or similar, or better still as
mentioned, rubber / hide /copper hammer,
@Markstiens Yeh, stay away from expert villiage search for
