Very good instructional video. Brief, succinct, and very clear explanations. Thank you!

[@yusuihang]

Just stumbled on your channel. Saw the Camry timing cover video also. Like your descriptions of the jobs. Very helpful. Hope you will find the time to continue posting. Thanks.

[@vangmotive7023]

yes, will be posting up again. had to take a break to catch up on multiple projects and repairs

[@yusuihang]

@@vangmotive7023 I remember stumbling onto South Main Auto's channel, when he had around 3k subscribers. I'm sure your channel will do well when you start posting again..

There is absolutely no bolts sizes or axle nut size mentioned in this video 😮😟

This is very helpful, thank you!

[@strictlyaudis7012]

Good job bro , solid vedio

[@toounique77]

Does turning the axle disturb the timeing?

[@loliveirajet]

🤙

[@supersaiyanyaaj4219]

Very well done VM, the pinch bolt you remove seem very easy, I'm in the cold climate area midwest and having issue removing the pinch bolt. What are some other trick or idea to remove it with regular tools.

[@MiguelReis73]

Nice video, but that axle bolt is a stretch bolt, so when you remove you need to replace it :)

[@HristovRumen]

It's not. It has a few dabs of threadlock when new. Clean it and put a dab on it. It becomes reusable.

[@chemaeduardo145]

Ur a God kid I hope my shit comes out as smooth as that

[@francishuxley5928]

Just did this in the driveway....didn't touch the supension....just unbolted the bolts, the axle then just slides out, turn the wheel to get access.

[@vangmotive7023]

The bolt is a 19mm hex bolt

[@MiguelReis73]

The 6 triple square are 10mm

Do you recommend the aftermarket axle or should I go OEM?

[@vangmotive7023]

You can do remanufacture. Usually what I tell customers. I recommend oem parts for brakes because it stops the car. Alternators, water pump or anything internal in engine and fuel pump oem because these things can cause the car not to start. Ac compressor, ps pumps, starter and other things like axles can use alternative brands.

[@HristovRumen]

You should not discard an oem axle for an aftermarket. These axles are hollow and balanced really well. Putting an aftermarket axle in an euro car will cause a driveline vibration in 1/2 cars. You only have 2 options. To reboot or to replace with an oem if ypurs is too far gone and clicking.

Hi , that’s great video I have a question if my cv axle leaking oil only one side so I have to change both side or just one side only? Thx

[@vangmotive7023]

Just the one side that is leaking.

[@lengengineer2050]

Yes only one side leaking

[@lengengineer2050]

So I have to change both side better than one side or change one side leaking only

[@vangmotive7023]

@@lengengineer2050 I would just replace the one that is leaking

[@lengengineer2050]

Thx for your reply

[@MatthewSmith-to1hz]

are the axel bolt threads reverse threaded?

[@vangmotive7023]

No. Its just tight, impact gun won't touch it if it has not Been taken off before. You'll need a strong breaker bar.

[@RandomYoutuber1023]

Good thing you didn't stretch the brake hose the whole time...

[@vangmotive7023]

Yeah, releasing it off the bracket will give it some room to move around. It will stretch slightly when removing it off the knuckle, but not much. Keeping the knuckle towards the front of the car will keep the brake hoses loose.

[@bretteagan5936]

Nice video! Have you replaced the right rear axle as well? I am having some issues. Thanks

[@vangmotive7023]

I have replaced them, just no video of it. What issues are you running into?

[@bretteagan5936]

@@vangmotive7023 the angle of the axle only allows me to remove the end near the transmission up instead of down. Now I have removed both ends of the axles. It is stuck in the space of the transmission and fuel tank on one end and part is still in the wheel baring on the other end. Thanks

[@vangmotive7023]

@@bretteagan5936 can I get your email I will forward you a picture of what you need to take off on the wheel bearing side to pull the axle out.. you will need to use a floor jack underneath the lower control arm and put some load on it and undo the shocks and 3 other bolts and remove the spring to flop the Knuckle so you can get the cv axle out.

[@daveallyn007]

where did you order the axle from

[@vangmotive7023]

We have a parts supplier, they don't sell to the public only to business.

[@davidbijaram5385]

hey, nice video, what are the symptoms of a bad axle?

[@vangmotive7023]

Clicking on sharp turns, vibration under accelerate and a hard shift into gear when put into gear.

[@RegulatedMilitia]

skips past important steps at the beginning, doesnt go over the size of the star bolts needed. lousy tutorial
