sorry for the delay…the electric ones are nice in a pinch, but if you
invest in a good high-tourque pnumatic one..they are way better!!! good
luck with your repair and thanks for watching!
hey thanks for your nice reply,well i work in a machine shop so i deal with
air tools every day but ive never had a electric one, i ended up buying one
at harbor freight and it works ok, i wont use it but maybe 3 times a year
so i didn’t wanna spend too much money on it plus i don’t have a
compressor,the bearing was on a Camry that belongs to a friend of mine, it
ended up being a bulge in the tire that was making the noise so i didn’t
get to enjoy busting my knuckles this time, maybe next time.
that’s a cool impact gun,electric too,they sure come in handy,how do they
compare to a pneumatic one? i gotta do this Sunday but im just doing the
wheel bearing,done it before on a Honda but i figure since i gotta do it on
a Camry i just brush up a bit on this great video on how to get some of the
stuff off,i can figure out the rest, thank you for posting!!!
Try turning the axle while prying and by prying I mean tapping it. It
should come out easy when you get them lined up right. Be careful not to
eff up your seals..
that sucks!! i haven’t done a CV axle on a 07 yet. hopefully toyota
corrected the overly aggressive inner-retainer ring by 07, and you won’t
have to work as hard getting it out and the new one in. good luck with your
repair and thanks for watching!
yeah…the differential is totally separate from the trans fluid resivoir
but the differential takes trans fluid… vs a rear-wheel drive vehicle
taking differential oil…
@tuan16582 i believe it is different with the V6. the half-shafts should be
a “bolt-on” style and the axles should be the same (driver’s side and pass
side). good luck and thanks for watching.
So after moving the hub aside you just pry the axle out right? theres no
snap ring or anything you have to break loose or take out before trying to
pry the thing out right? Also where did you get your whale jaw plier? This
camry’s been sitting on support for two days now and still can’t get the
axle off.
Some jerk dumped a heap of huge metal chunks on the highway. It was pitch
black with no street lights and I plowed right through it. Turns out my
inner CV boot is busted on the front driver side. Mines an 07, and I’m
mentally preparing myself. It seems the process isn’t too different from
this video. Good post, and thanks for sharing.
@ncrdisabled yeah i think northern tool has a bunch of free shipping deals
around the holidays. from the sound of what you described to me, the thing
in the book is either for a 6 cylinder, or an older model…a lot of 6
cyliders have that style of cv shaft.
that is normal. there is a seal that keeps the oil in your
differential/transmission when the axle is in place. once you get the axle
out, there is nothing to stop the oil from coming out. when you have
everything apart, you should inspect and replace the seal if necessary. to
check the level of the differential fluid, there is a 17mm bolt/plug on the
back of the transmission. take that out, and fill with trans fluid until it
overflows the fill hole. then replace the plug.

you could try separating the strut from the knuckle…that works good w GM
vehicles…
Is there any other way taking the cv axle with out taking off the 3 bottom
screws????

If you have a manual trans you use 75-90.. Not dex.. Dex is for automatics..

@benf106 glad it helped. thanks for watching.
what years is this camry?? is it diffrent than a 1997 one??
cool. glad it helped out. i went through the same thing the 1st time i
tried it. thanks for watching!
if i do this job on a honda jazz, i will post it for sure! thanks for
watching!
@MSRAMBO357 thanks for watching.
i looked up the part…it looks like there is some recessed channels that
the vice-grips should fit in. does your axle have anything like that?
How would you do compressing the spring while its inside ?
Could you please make it for honda jazz? 🙂

@ExploitsRs1 thanks for watching
Whats differential fluid? LOL its Dextron Trans fluid
yeah…the differential is totally separate from the trans fluid resivoir
but the differential takes trans fluid… vs a rear-wheel drive vehicle
taking differential oil…
I tried the large jaw vise grips and beat the heck out of it with a hammer
as per your video. I can’t overcome the snap ring. Any suggestions?
awesome! glad it helped and thanks for watching!

Awesome !
In a REAL car You can’t do it like this. You have to COMPRESS the spring
first or You won’t be able to move the hub away.
So after moving the hub aside you just pry the axle out right? theres no

i was either lining the splines up or i wanted to make sure everything was
moving properly. at what point in the video?
Yank it out and put it back in just to show us how. Awesome, way to use
Youtube, we totally appreciate it!!
