How to remove a broken cv axle no vice grips no slide hammer .SUPER EASY....

when your like me and have no special tools i come up with ways . this took me about 20 seconds ...and its out.

[@thomasbarlow4223]

This is a great tip thanks bud

[@lonerider5315]

Use anything shaped like a wedge in the back... they make a giant pickle fork to do it. But i just use a 6 inch chisel at the back. This would be handy on some cars whhere its tight

[@redhandedreviews3482]

Man I didn't even own a pair of vice grips to try to use my pickle fork was too small to fit around the shaft going inside the front diff but I did own a mallet Axe and a ratchet strap and it literally took no effort to pop that thing out I've dealt with it in the past and I use the vise grips with a long steel rod and a slide hammer and it did not come out for like 45 minutes

[@BenVanAmburg]

I definitely need to buy a ratchet strap for this exact reason lol only this

Please work safely! That Jack on dirt is an accident waiting to happen.

[@redhandedreviews3482]

It's funny everybody keeps saying that but I have two cinder blocks with a 6 by 6 on each side of the Jeep as we just had two inches of rain and the ground was too muddy for the jack stands they would sink in and start to sink in on one side

Did anyone else notice all the sockets laying around? 0:22

[@redhandedreviews3482]

yup they lay all around ... would you feel better if I made a video of my sockets laying all around on the ground would that be tool porn for you

It happens when you change the upper control arms lower control arm struts wheel hub assembly EGR valve rear shocks and isolators axles sway bar links

Wow what a disorganized mess,id hate to see his living conditions in his home if thats how he keeps his tools

He is probably sick in the head, judging from his speech and voice he is surely on the spectrum to say the least

[@samuelpancake4084]

I was having OCD seeing tools everywhere . How do you even find anything lol. My tools are always in order

[@redhandedreviews3482]

mine used to be lol drives me crazy.... but i had two jeeps to work on i was out in the rain storm well in the garage thing...i replaced xj parts and wk...over 1200 in parts...thats 4 days worth of working ...still got drive shaft prop shaft and front shocks rear leaf springs and shackles on the xj and prop shaft for mine

[@redhandedreviews3482]

the sa.e storm that battered texas last week like may 25th some shit like that..my jack stands were worthless with soft dirt floor..with two inches of rain making it softer

[@SaladTossBoss]

Imagine how his home looks 😢

[@jopoveromo1054]

One more way to go

[@shamshieldd214]

just use a prybar

[@redhandedreviews3482]

You have to watch using a pry bar cuz some of these front differentials are aluminum even the steel ones are cast iron and cast as brittle

[@redhandedreviews3482]

I've seen pry bars break the differential while trying to force that end of the CV axle out of the front diff as they are either cast iron or cast aluminum both which are brittle

[@shamshieldd214]

@@redhandedreviews3482 i was a mechanic professionally for 10 years. Never once broke the housing using a prybar. It doesn't take much force to pop the cv axle out.

[@redhandedreviews3482]

@@shamshieldd214 not true my friemd from petes transmission did it to his ford and broke a casting off he just jb welded the small crack...my passenger side was stuck so bad the mech haf to beat it off my stub shaft

[@DickyBobby]

Yeah just push and pull on the car with no jack stand…

[@redhandedreviews3482]

Well it's kind of hard to make a car hover it's supported by a jack 4 cinder blocks and a jack but they're just slightly out of the frame of the camera the Jack was only there to support the other three stands that were on this and only one tire was off

[@redhandedreviews3482]

And if I was an idiot I would have taken it to the mechanic shop like most people or go to the store and buy vise grips in a rod like most people then again I'm not like most people

[@redhandedreviews3482]

And two of my friends died due to flimsy ass jack stands jack stands don't do shit cinder blocks under a full frame vehicle or under the unibody will work better than a jack stand it's funny people make comments about jack stands like they're God's greatest gift but unfortunately they are one of the most unstable things to use in a dirt driveway or on a dirt floor after the series rain we just had so instead of making stupid comments maybe just watch the video or don't because you can't see the four cinder blocks that are holding both sides of my fucking Jeep up I only have one tire off

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

​@@redhandedreviews3482use big firewood rounds. Way better than jackstands.....

[@grantfinlay3185]

Cinder blocks😂😂😂

[@Cazzy219]

Or just use a crowbar.

[@redhandedreviews3482]

i preferred to be out from underneath it when im yankin stuff like that or prying side to side...i know it wont go no where but i almost died because a jack stand collaped when i was under the car the rotor pinned my bill of my hat to the ground forcing my face into the gravel plus buddy actually damaged his front diff doin such....which those reasons is why you dont see lots of folks making videos doing such....you do only see vice grips nd a threaded rod....and a slide hammer...i didnt have that...my grips are in use..

[@Robertas_Grigas]

Dude If you don't have vise grips in your toolbox you should rethink your life decisions

[@redhandedreviews3482]

lmao i should....problem is i am always breaking them even my good ones are being used to help hold my ground wire to my electric fence grounding rod on top of the wire clamp that comes with it..something almost ripped my fence down so...
