TOOK TOO MUCH SHYT OFF BRAKES DIDNT NEED TO COME OFF

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

Good to see the process. Fun fact for you. If you bang in bolts rather then follow them into the hole by driving them in via an impact or wrench, you have a higher chance of upsetting the threads. Threading them into the hole ie impact, you're using the thread in a proper manner to set them. Just a tip from me to you.

[@alexkoncki5490]

I listened to your comment on a few of the bolts and took forever to realize they were collared bolts and needed to be knocked out with a hammer.

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

@@alexkoncki5490 I was referring to putting them back in. Not taking them out. Setting means putting in final position.

[@LeanderSkeet]

Thank you! Very helpful.

Do we use a new half shaft washer?

[@dusher22]

Awesome!!! THANKS 😃🙏

[@thomaschristopherw]

So much missing information. Like the plastic grommet on the end of the old axle, does it go on the new axle? Because my new axle came with a metal ring that snaps into place where the plastic ring is supposed to be and I don't know if I'm supposed to try to force both of them on or just use one or what

[@juniorrivera1642]

Gonna do it the same way thanks

[@petermartinez5573]

You made it look easy.

[@shyxboy420]

I have 2018 that is making a clicking noise when coming to a stop if I continue really slow when I stop like letting the brake go u could hear clicking nosie and when I put it in drive and park it makes a clicking noise also when it turns on in traffic because it's a auto stop it sumtimes makes a noise also, could it be the inner cv joint? I took it to a mechanic to inspect it he couldn't find anything ripped or broken

can you do one on a Timing Chain kit installation on a 2011 Chevy Malibu?

Thank you!

Would you be able to do a video on replacing a front door lock actuator on these cars?

Love this video !

When I did this my strut spun on me. Why did that happen to me but not you. Thanks?

Is the passenger the same as the driver side

Good video..torque specs would be helpful, unless i overlooked them...

No need for an alignment. Strut bolts??

[@angelbou9694]

I broke a piece while trying to pry the cv axle back in place and idk what its called or how to find a new one to replace it with. It looks kinda like a stabilizer bar but it has plastic ends but its connected to the shock and a random bar under the engine please help.

[@reneantonio91]

I think your talking about the stabilizer links , they connect to the strut and the the stabilizer bar

[@eddiemax9256]

What is the average cost for this type of job?

[@reneantonio91]

On this malibu ? It calls for 1.8 Hr labor time each axle on this car. On most FWD cars it calls between 1.5-3 hrs each axle , depending on the car . Not every car is as easy as this one

[@carlheinzraymond8121]

Did you add any fluid to the transmission after that??

[@reneantonio91]

I didn’t need to add any for this car because none came out but sometimes some fluid does come out and you would have to top it off

[@jjguerrero9230]

Do I replace the ring on the old axle??

[@reneantonio91]

Yes replace that ring , the new axle should come with one

[@jjguerrero9230]

@@reneantonio91 The axle I got didn't come with one.

[@reneantonio91]

@@jjguerrero9230just use the old one then , abs light will be on If you don’t use it

[@gustavososa3080]

How do you know when it’s in does it pop or ?

[@reneantonio91]

It makes a soft thump sound most of the time when it’s in but always make sure to check visually as well that you don’t see part of the shaft out of the transmission or it could leak fluid and pop out

[@eddiemax9256]

What is 5he average cost for this type of job?

[@leolopez9378]

Can axle being ripped out while driving damage the transmission?

[@reneantonio91]

Fluid can leak out and damage the transmission Yes

[@azfam520]

thx

[@chingwrongputos866]

Do you know why every time I turn in any direction it sounds like something is hitting something

[@reneantonio91]

It could be many things , best thing to do is put your car on a lift or jack it up with a jack and stands , shake the front end of the vehicle and look under neath the car for any suspension part that is worn or broken

[@deewasthere]

Could be the control arms need replacing. Had that issue with a Saab I owned

[@josephrosales8330]

Is this the cv axle?

[@reneantonio91]

Yes

Anybody in san Francisco who can do this let me know I need my car Doe

[@edwardmmanns7454]

Lots of bolting w/o torque wrench and always put the axel bolt on by hand first like all the directions say. You are too interested in the clock. Otherwise the video and narration were fine.

What state are u in ? Do u have an email or a way we can message?
