We had a small repair job to do on my brother’s 2005 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4×4. The sway bar end link came loose from the steering knuckle and swung down and destroyed the rubber boot on the front CV axle shaft. In this video, he and I show you how to remove and install a new CV shaft. We also demonstrate how to install new sway bar endllinks into the Tacoma.

I can't seem to put the new seal in the transmission case. I used a 2×4 cut in a perfect cycle and used a hammer to try to tap it in bit i could not get it to go in. It would always shift to ine side or another. Any thought ls or suggesntions?
Thank's a lot for the info.It was really helpful.Thank X again.
thank you. that helped me alot. the only thing i wish you said was to keep repositioning the old shaft and pull on it (pry it) until that inside clip drops or something so it comes out….mine was impossible to pull untill i rotated the axle several times and at each time stopping, tried to pry the old one out…..
Hey guy, thank you so much for this video! Had to replace the CV axle on my 2005 Lexus GX470, it is the exact same process. Your video worked step by step, same size took as well!
Did you have to add any oil/fluid to the differential itself?
if you leave the nut on the end of the shaft and hit the nut you won't damage the threads
How were you holding the wheel still while taking off the axle nut? Did you have someone on the brakes? Thanks! Otherwise video super helpful!
Thx for the video. Extremely helpful.
Do you have to need to do a wheel alignment after this job?
both cv axle both sides are the same
Nice job. Easy Peasy guys.
I have a Question about those Axle Boots : Any way to Protec them, so they don't brake or Damage ? What about Another Boot on top ? Thank you.
Good job guys
Great Video Mate, Thanx a million for posting it.
hey i'm about to do this, what do you thinking about doing the wheel bearing at the same time?
Thank you for posting this.. Helped me in a big way!!
good instruction, but 480p is poor video.
The torque specification for the big axle nut is 217 ft/lb. BTW, not necessary to separate the steering tie rod end, stay bar link or the brake caliper.
How much is Toyota 4 runner 2003 front shaft plus flight to Lagos Nigeria
What is your guess on price if a shop just changed out the CV boots? One of mine is torn on the drivers side. 1999 Tacoma. Thanks.
Great video! You wouldn't happen to recall the size of the bolts on the LCA and the allen on the Sway bar link would you? Didn't catch it in the video. Thanks!
excellent, Glad you put down 118 ft/lb,,, always good to put down foot pounds, user friendly, thankyou
How long did it take start to finish?
Hey guys, Just did this install this weekend and after fighting the c-clip everything went back together perfectly. Unfortunately now I am hearing a squeak/scrape? Thinking it could be the plate behind the brake drum but not sure. Anyone else have this type of issue at all? Thanks
how much different would an 02 Tacoma be
Great video guys! Going to be replacing my cv shaft soon on my 08. Thanks!
Is this set up the same as a 98 4runner?
Great video nice work ~!
I was always questioning that retaining clip on the inner cv shaft, now that I know its self retained design im not so scared to tackle the inner clamshell needle bearing removal and east coast gear supply bushing install. Thanks for making this video!!!
