2007 GMC Sierra / Silverado CV Axle Replacement - How to remove and replace CV Axles

[@TheBennyneb]

As the owner of a 2013 Sierra and a 2003 sierra I appreciate your videos 🤘

[@Alfaspiderman84]

I know it been a year since you made this, but I just found out today that if you remove the sway bar links on both sides you have enough room to remove the axle shafts without reomoving the struts. But great video ! Thanks.

[@TheDaninator]

Good tip 👍

[@trustinthelord2248]

U don’t have move all that just take the cv axle out

[@kylethompson2431]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Ken-yj1fs]

Thanks dude for showing me how to do this . Made life so much simpler .

[@borip8911]

Great video! I did my yesterday. I just removed lower struts bolts and sway bar link pin. A little manipulation & boom badda bing got it done. Thanks for your help.

[@TheDaninator]

Nice work!

[@CarlosMartinez-k1r1v]

I like that you use basic tools good work

[@jfromdedbydezine2409]

Best video I've seen on this topic, liked & subscribed. You sir are a national treasure.

[@TheDaninator]

Pretty simple fix. I’m just glad the axles weren’t stuck in the hubs! Ain’t nobody got time for that.

[@danielcram4734]

True dat.

[@loc6880]

Awesome! Good video, Summary at the end about the simplicity of the job helps others feel confident enough to tackle it! You are correct, the strut removal probably scares enough away from doing this.🤙

[@alejandrojarquin2132]

Brother you make it look so easy Thanks I’m going to try

[@GinaWard-j5b]

Much more simpler with your instructions 😛 Thanks so much 😉😁

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Good job homeslice getting the shot just did mine on Ford Edge I did seals to and that interesting more ppl should fix there cars

[@hillcountrylivin]

I hate paying the "stealership" for work I can do myself, so I really appreciate your content. New sub to your channel, also. My next big project looks like it's going to be a front brake job on my '15 Silverado.

[@Ryderrichie]

You saved me with this video thank you good job 👏 👍🏼

[@TheDaninator]

I’m happy to hear it!😎👍 Thank you

[@BradHuey1992]

Glad I watched this video. Thought I had to drop the lower ball joint to get it out. Thanks man 👍👍

[@3Wheels1Block]

Man..... It is so nice when they slide right outta there! I remember the fused CV Axle 😅... Great video!

[@TheDaninator]

A “no fuss” repair! Always a welcomed sight!

[@jairusbarringer7525]

Dang that is a cheap cv axle. I just paid $140+ each for mine at Advance Auto Parts. Great tutorial video. Thank you

[@luhjugg9791]

Auto parts stores charge double than ordering it yourself

[@toddhill2362]

Do you remember about how long it took?? Great video with simple tools for us poor fools. Might i suggest adding in an over all average time for jobs? I need to do one for a felluh and want it to work out great for both of us in the end financially

[@TheDaninator]

If you're familiar with this type of repair, I'd estimate 45 mins to an hour. Otherwise, plan on an hour plus.

[@latunguley]

wonder how difficult it is with the lift kit on the struts? guess i will fing out this coming tuesday

[@simonvillecourt5673]

should i put a bit of anti seize on the splines when i put the new axle in the wheel hub?

[@TheDaninator]

Yes

[@d.pierce.6820]

thank you for making this video!

[@TheDaninator]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robflavawitz3198]

Good job man very informative and very good with the cinematography..

[@AdamVest]

Great video! I wish you would do a cv axle video for a 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma! Most of the videos for it on here are trash!

[@glazed_vaseline]

I see there is a little oil leak around were you bolted the cv axel, i have the same oil leak on my 08 sierra, did this stop the leak ? loved the way you explained in this video, doesn't seem to difficult, will be doing this myself after watching this, thanks 😉

[@starbolin]

Most like that is differential fluid seaping from your axle seal. Once you have the half shaft removed, you pull the stub out shaft then remove and replace the seal.

[@joshuaputman8307]

I've got to do this on my truck this weekend. I wonder if it would be enough wiggle room just cranking the wheel over all the way instead of messing with the strut. Only one way to find out I guess. Thanks for the video. This doesn't look nearly as complicated as I imagined.

[@Wombuffet]

In the same boat as you, let me know if you didnt need to remove the strut!

[@joshuaputman8307]

@@Wombuffet you definitely do. It "should" have enough wiggle room to drop the strut out, but on my truck, it had a small leveling spacer on top, so it was under tension. I had to pop out the outer tie rod end, and the upper ball joint to get it out.

[@stevengaff7884]

Yes just use a swivel it in your socket and you can wiggle it and get it out

[@StrangeDrk]

Very informative, how much did you save doing the job yourself would you say? I'm looking at doing the job myself to save some money I have a few tools to buy to get it completed but it looks fairly simple.

[@pastureworks3773]

Have to do this in the next few days. Thanks for explaining everything clearly and doing it where there is plenty of light in the video! 🤘🤘🤘

[@gtrembo2347]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@DavidBlake-m2u]

Aren’t you suppose to replace both sides of that cv joint axel install. ??? Keep the balance or if one’s out then the other is bound to fail as well soon??? Idk I’m asking

[@ryangouger2106]

Do I have to take the strut out or is it basically just convenient to have it off to remove the cv axle ?

[@TheDaninator]

It's best to remove the strut, otherwise it's nearly impossible to remove the axel.

[@willcurry9590]

Can you just remove the sway bar end link and get enough clearance that way? If you remove the side bolted to the diff and lower it-I think you can get it out without messing up any alignment

[@El_ReyJ]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@madman9833]

I’ve seen people put locktite blue on those three bolts that hold the strut down. Is that good to do?????????

[@nowayhunting]

are the axles the same on both sides? same part number?

[@juansantana7041]

Used all hand tools that's nice! 💪

[@randysteed1202]

Great how to. Good job

[@danielsimpson8929]

You'd benefit practice this with lug nut in place to protect your threads while using the pry bar as a counter lever.

[@TheDaninator]

Excellent tip. Thank you!

[@danielfiddler5014]

Thanks for the video!!

[@hotrod76.]

Great video!!

[@PopAdoYa]

Yo Daninator can i get an update how the part held up?

[@TheDaninator]

So far so good 👍

[@thrillbilly9785]

Put anti-seize on that axle spline? No more stuck hubs if ya do. 🤘😎

[@adriancillo619]

I have a 2012 gmc sierra 1500 4x4 z71 does anyone know if I can delete the front axles and still drive it after that I know ill lose the 4x4 just trying to figure out if its possible on these trucks thanks

[@Ahoop080]

I'm about to do this install and asked my mechanic the same question. He said yes it should be fine, like you said obviously no 4x4

[@wallace8468]

Put new axel on And not it only rotates half way around. Is that normal ?

[@ronhindmarsh8495]

Very helpful thanks

[@ehova5838]

Just did mine. Beware if you have a leveling kit block under your strut it turns into a nightmare job :)

[@ehova5838]

Cause some dummy installed the bolt facing downward and could not remove the strut cause the CV was blocking the bolt

[@larrywoodruff7530]

Nice job, yer awesome!

[@bransoncrawford4453]

all u gotta do is pop the upper ball joint out and the spindle will fall forward and u have plenty of room

[@kkoch666]

How about an impact?

[@nathenkeeler4833]

You should have showed how to loosen the bottom of that strut

[@Abdulrahman_506]

Why did you replace them ?

[@javierjimenez5943]

Love your channel im a subscriber now WHERE CAN I GET A XXL CHECK YOUR WALLET SHIRT?

[@TheDaninator]

Thanks man. There’s a link in the description of this video. 👍

[@cadywelp235]

Cannot get that axle nut out for the life of me. Tried the impact and full body weight jumping on a breaker bar

[@eddieg6214]

Anybody got a idea in what cause my 2016 sierra to shake at highway speeds and sway side to side at very low driveway speed?

[@lightningsurvivor1432]

U made that look to easy

[@paulmiller6514]

U don't need to remove the strut to remove the cv axle, just the top ball joint

[@stevengaff7884]

You can get it out without removing the struck

[@garycarroll9447]

No parking brake

[@zee2648]

You don't need to remove the strut bud🤣

[@martinfarrell5778]

Get yourself an impact....

[@MarioDimas-x1u]

9😊o😊😊9o

[@midiowa2]

Wouldn't it be easier to just remove brakes , caliper and rotor then the axle Is just limp there

[@mrcureall1644]

Liar
