Wow im gonna tackle this job this weekend..I thought it was much harder then this..thanks for the info!
very good, a hug!!
I watched this video yesterday and went home to change out both axles in 3 hours. The hardest part was the axle nut which I expected. I like the idea of spray painting the ball joint to keep the alignment in place. Though I still will get an alignment, this gives me some breathing room until I get it done. Thank you for the video. Awesome job!
thanks
Good vid, ill have to use this soon. Found my driver side CV busted as i’m doing the clutch/flywheel/pressure plate replacement.
Do you know where I might be able to find a DIY video on re-installing the manual transmission on the MK Jetta VR6?
CV boot is just the rubber boot that covers the CV joint. If that tears, the grease can run out of it, or water can get inside and screw the joint up. Your CV joint might make noise when turning if it needs to be replaced.
it’s a husky 500 ft/lbs
You can also remove it if you loosen the nut before lifting the wheel off the ground, you’ll need a breaker bar
what air impact wrench are you using btw? would an electric impact wrench with max torque of 360 ft-lb be enough to do the job? Thanks.
I love u man best vw chann
Does anyone know the torque specs for a 12v vr6 mkiv for the triple sqaure bolts? Great video man keep up the good work
Please note for Axle Nut you need a 30MM 12 point socket to remove.
Thanks that was very useful,i have a 96 golf mk3 gti and i guess its the procedure
What’s the difference between a CV boot and a CV joint? My cv boots need to be replaced but how do I know if my joint needs to be replaced as well? Thanks
thank you so much
Also you can protect the axle nut threads with a bit of tape if you’re worried about messing them up when inserting into the hub.
One thing you might want to suggest, if the person doing the work doesn’t have an impact tool is to break the axle nut loose while the wheel is still on, and the car is on the ground.
great video alot of help thanks
Good vid man. Thanks.
thanks for sharing,,,
although it looks like there might now be enough room.
You might be able to not disturb the suspension by turning the wheel 3/4 of the way, move the inside CV joint into some space either to the left or right, and then wiggle out the front CV joint. Also you should pull out the ABS sensor slightly to avoid damaging it.
thanks for the vid buddy i have to do this tomorrow i have a 2000 audi 1.8t quattro we found the cv off my car when we were goin to the store 4 of 6 bolts on i put it back on so i could get home as i was thinking about y it fell off i noticed there was no loc tightner on any of the bolts im buyin new bolts tomoro is there anything else i have to do one iv re installed these bolts i have grees to to back in vw audi grees my email is 2001hardtop@gmail.com thanks buddy subscribed and liked 🙂
very useful video, thanks! the Haynes workshop manual did a really poor job of explaining, somthis was just the ticket. just wish i had an impact driver rather than spending an hour und the car cursing and skinning my knuckles 🙂
Hey i did all the steps except i forgot to loosen the 6 triple sqaure bolts so i had to put the car on the first gear so it stop spining , anywayz now i got the axle cup stuck in the transmission i cant get it out the axle is broken and the cup is stuck to the transmission flange and there isn’t any way so i can use a hammer or pry bar to push it out HELP ME ASAP PLEASEEEEE !!!
excellent video,very well explained
he forgot the rubber boot cover on the cv joint
excuse me I did the same repair today but I ran to whole bunch of problems to take it of I catched hell tryng to pull the axle off the wheel bearing when I unscrewed them 6 bolts way back by the transmission the axle spins while am unscrewing or tighten them bolts I had to use a pipe wrench to hold the axle while unscrewing but the main problem I have is the axle thick front screw that goes in to the bearing its not going all that way in just the very tip of it do you know why?
Great vid clip. It is a clear and neat explanation.
where do you find the spec for the bolts
thanks
