The car in the video is a Saturn Vue 3.5L AWD 2007. However, the procedures shown in the video will apply to most vehicles and applications.

What is a CV Axle?
Constant-velocity joints (also known as homokinetic or CV joints) allow a drive shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play. They are mainly used in front wheel drive vehicles. Modern rear wheel drive cars with independent rear suspension typically use CV joints at the ends of the rear axle halfshafts and increasingly use them on the drive shafts.

Constant-velocity joints are protected by a rubber boot, a “CV gaiter”, usually filled with molybdenum disulfide grease. Cracks and splits in the boot will allow contaminants in, which would cause the joint to wear quickly as grease leaks out. (Parts in contact would not get proper lubrication, small particulates would cause damage and scratching, while water ingress causes metal components to rust and corrode.) Wear of the boot often takes the form of small cracks, which appear closer to the wheel, because the wheel produces most vibration and up and down motions. Cracks and tears in the areas closer to the axle are usually caused by external factors, such as packed snow, stones or uneven rocky off-road paths. Aging and chemical damage can also cause boot failure.

I'm having issues with the front differential. One of the sides of the housing the cv slides into is busted. can I just remove the drive shaft and the CV axles and be good to go. I know 4×4 will be gone not a problem…but im a bit concerned about not having the cv axle to tighten the castle nut to keep the rotor secure… Are brake calipers gonna hold that rotor enough?
Any suggestions?
By the way i already changed that cv disconnect housing once and it busted again so not exactly interested in replacing that continually.
