How to replace a outer CV axle boot on a Honda.

[@matthewlamar3401]

I must say this is the only video that is only straight to the point thank you so much for not going into boring useless words. Great job think you

[@MotionDesignStudio]

The specialty tool used in this video to tighten the metal band is “CV Joint Banding Tool Manufacturer: Lisle Manufacturer Part No.: 30950”. You can also use "Universal Automotive CV Joint Boot Clamp Pliers Banding Crimper Tool Ear Type".

[@dmcresins]

Can jubilee clips be used, or must the bands that come with the new cv boot be used, anyone know? I'm presuming, no?!!

[@MotionDesignStudio]

@@dmcresins , do not use a jubliee clip. The band allows you to really control the amount of crush needed to seal. Best of luck and do it right.

[@JasonTylerRicci]

I'm contemplating either a whole CV replacement or just a boot. My boot is torn and slings grease. It's an OEM Honda CV axle. Since it's likely the axle is under excessive friction loads and may be worn (being low on grease) I may just replace the whole unit for peace of mind. Thanks for sharing. This repair looks pretty straight forward

[@davidshale1836]

I think for the extra money , I’m going new., especially if the cv has a few years on it

[@JourneymanVideoProduction]

Thanks for the detailed, clear close up shots. Much appreciated.

[@herbertjones6113]

Thanks for this video. Straight forward, step by step, and effective.

[@diegod5376]

Straight to the point. Gonna get this done next Friday.

[@kevinward7498]

I couldn't get the CV joint off the shaft. I kept getting bigger hammers until I ended up with a sledgehammer. I put a crack in the ball bearing cage eventually, but still didn't get it off. I just ordered a new axle from eBay. I saw you give it two good whacks and it popped right off. I'm wondering if some of these weren't made to come apart. Feeling a bit agitated, I've never broken something like this before. Fortunately the new axle is only $70.

[@NWSanta]

Thank you for your video! I was thought this was one of those "voodoo" jobs that I had to pay somebody to do. Going to attempt it this weekend with my Son's 97' Prelude! Cheers

[@enriquevalentin281]

Do you have a video on the inner boot replacement, if so can so link it please, love the video straight to it

[@bizarreentertainment7308]

Wow so simple and cleanly explained.

[@bizarreentertainment7308]

Well ok. Did literally the same and now it doesn’t move it’s all seised and it’s broke :/ there goes $350 for a new one.

[@efrensaclolo7021]

1998 honda accord driver side axle leaking,I replaced it with after market but seems not the same,so I did replaced the boot of the OEM your video is what helped me.I don't have the tool for the band so it not that tight,How much is that tool?I need it to do the job perfect before I re install the axle.

[@ronymontufar789]

Este video me hizo la vida tan fácil muchas gracias por el video🎉🎉🎉

[@vaclav72]

Crystal clear explanation of the process, very helpfull.

[@riv1950]

Really great video, good camera too,Thank you very much.

[@Michal_S0L]

Good video. clear and it’s not over complicated

[@solesoundz]

Can the clamp still be installed without that tool?

[@efrensaclolo7021]

That grease is a special grease that won't harm the rubber over time like a silicon paste for rubber?

[@MikeKollin]

My mechanic Changed my Left Front Axle. And now it's pulling to the right. Before it was perfect. New Tires about 6 weeks, ran perfect, no pull, easy to turn, etc. Now it's pulls to the right and is stiff steering. And yes, I went to get Alignment done the next day after he changed Axle. Still pulls a bit right n stiff. Any thoughts? He says it's tread pull... but it didn't have tread pull before he changed axle.

[@enkiea52]

Good video I have a 1991 Honda Accord that needs the front cv boots changed.

[@user-fd9hx9hd9q]

Glad to see im not the only one who couldn’t get the joint off 🫤 anyone found out if its meant to come off???

[@osama3in-laggen745]

Does the axle have to come out to replace the boot??

[@Denver1976Man]

I know this is an older video. Is the passenger side the same? I am a toy guy and they are different I think I do not pull the whole axle out. I leave the bearing in place and pull it out of inner boot. I haven't had a civic since del sols. Now I have a civic and an Element. I just remember on the del sol the right axle was a pain. But can not remember why..lol 2000 civic is what i am going to replace the outer boot on. If it is the same as the drivers side outer boot, is it worth all the work taking it out or can I cheat and pop it off while still in car?

[@TaylorKing1]

Good video but I couldn't get Both of my axles apart. did not want to come apart like the video.. banged on them for a while I couldn't get the things apart. Snapon deabblow and a sturdy vice

[@matthewlamar3401]

So are all joints pop off like this one? Hit with a hammer and it pops off?

[@h4mza786]

Whats the tool used at 5:10 please?

[@tonyglenn]

I notice there’s some chipping/flaking paint on the shaft. I see similar on mine with some minor rust. How much of this is normal and ok? Is this anything to worry about in terms of shaft integrity? Should it be spot treated and painted?

[@fireman62truck]

It is fine

[@KuvHlubStephanie]

awesome video! Great job at showing and explaining.

[@ROBCARMOL]

Very good, thanks for it.... Also can I use the normal clamps with the screw on it. Gracias

[@cybergimp]

ummm, I used zip ties lol

[@jovanyafanador9243]

Where do you buy your boot straps from?

[@RobertoSantiagoRodriguez]

Great job, great video! Tx so much!

[@DIYApprentice]

Thanks for posting. I need to do this for my Acura Legend.

[@DIYApprentice]

The OEM Honda clamps I received don't have the two tabs that were bent over with a screwdriver in the video. However, there is a dimple for a punch where the band passes through. I'm assuming it should be secure enough as-is.

[@crownedroyal2003]

+hoopfan71 I'm not using a OEM clamp in the video. Punch should be secure enough to hold the band.

[@DIYApprentice]

+BackYard Tech (Crownedroyal2003) OK, thanks

[@anthonysandelli5571]

Hey man hope you answer this, how do I get access to the shaft without taking the entire axel out of the car

[@crownedroyal2003]

Axle need to be removed to service most components.

[@dmcresins]

Nice one man ☘️

[@garyjosephchandler63]

It looks as though the axle has to be removed, first?

[@mallcrawler0072]

Is that genuine honda boot clamps? Ordering the original parts and wondering if it's the same. Also is this process the exact same on all honda boots? I have a 2019 civic si ... thanks for your help sir!

[@martinobarrett7976]

You made it look so easy! My conference on doing this is 💯 now 🙌🏾

[@3m0k1d4evr]

Excellent video

[@peteryao2008]

Right o the spot instruction. Thanks.

[@Lee.ELIXIR]

excellent video 👍🏽👍🏽 Can someone tell me if this is the same on a 2005 CR-V ??? Thanks 💖

[@mrwobbly69]

Thanks very much for your video, very helpful.

[@Mrsalmanbaloch]

What if I don't have that thing to tighten the boot seals? Can I do it with any other ordenary tool? Help

[@crownedroyal2003]

I would see if your local parts store can loan you the tool. Makes the job much easier and does a great job. Alternatively you could use some side cutter and try to pinch the crimp together.

[@Splieslife]

The hammer isn’t working removing the cv joint. I’m working on a 2005 Honda Accord 2.4 outboard driver side boot. Cheers!

[@stuartc6811]

Great video but for the life of me I can’t get the snap ring to pop in like that I’m trying to do it with shaft still on the car Any advice is welcome

[@anthonysandelli5571]

How did you even get to that shift in the first place, like did U take the router off and shit

[@stuartc6811]

@@anthonysandelli5571 Hi there Had to replace cv boot because of a split in it grease going everywhere Took off cv joint new boot on new clip but clip would not seat back in the shaft with cv joint pushed back on if that makes sense 🤔

[@anthonysandelli5571]

@@stuartc6811 gotchu boss but how did you get to that axel boot, I don’t want to have to take the entire axel off so did you like have to remove the routers and calipers to get access?

[@stuartc6811]

Donefor1248 You will have to undo axle nut to release brake rota and move to one side so you can remove cv joint to replace cv boot Loads of videos on KZbin to how's it's done

[@reza_dc2]

do you guys wash your rags after jobs like this or do you toss them?

[@crownedroyal2003]

I wash, toss wouldn’t be a bad idea.

[@reza_dc2]

BackYard Tech Great video Boss , thanks again.

[@AdrianHernandez-uv7kb]

How much is this at the dealer? I have to replace them on my Honda Civic 2015.

[@charrohernandez6835]

Great video, what would happen if you don’t fix this ?

[@dannynica7480]

it would make noise and then wheel comes off

[@marvinjohnson5461]

Great DIY

[@ALOHAAK]

Aloha awesome video very effective. Thank You!

[@PeteBasel]

Where do you buy your boots to be sure of good quality, or do you use OEM from the dealer? Did you replace any other parts besides boots? Looking for best quality source for parts.

[@crownedroyal2003]

Just replaced the boots. After market parts, not sure the brand anymore.

[@greyman8695]

Can this be done with the axle still in situ.?

[@crownedroyal2003]

With difficulty. I have done it that way before when bolts are seized in control arms.

[@aprendizbeta1791]

yeah!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@anonymous-ky8gg]

Very detailed.. 😆👍

[@paveldobrii6108]

Before the last yoke the air had to be released from the boot, with air in the interior will not last long

[@slowazzes1972]

pavel dobrii how would you even do that

[@nazimrashid7177]

OMG - my boot needed replacing; grease coming out from a tear - the shop I took my CRV to said they didn't replace boots anymore and so they just replace the axle. Well, not knowing, I bought that line- they replaced the axle and then I had vibrations on low speed. The replaced the other one, which was already good and the vibration continued. After going to several other shops I took it to the Honda Dealer to find out that in some cases you HAVE to use Honda Parts. Now the truth comes out. How would anyone know this? The original shop replaced the axels 6 times before I got the truth from Honda. BUT it could all have been avoided if they just replaced the boot. What a nightmare. My vibration is still there. I can't afford to go to Honda, so I'll have to get it elsewhere.

[@jeffreybastian1331]

Nazim Rashid some axles don’t have boot replacements especially rwd cars, hence the only option is to replace the axles. Honda’s for the most part do unless it’s an AWD variant but Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, ect. Don’t.

[@draper5058]

Nazim Rashid huh I think this is what my vibration problems are coming from. And a few years later my boot is bad again

[@fingerscrossedracing2390]

Sub for the vid. Bravo sir

[@truejey7475]

Hi where do i get that tool from ?

[@MotionDesignStudio]

The specialty tool used n this video to tighten the metal band is “CV Joint Banding Tool Manufacturer: Lisle Manufacturer Part No.: 30950”. You can also use "Universal Automotive CV Joint Boot Clamp Pliers Banding Crimper Tool Ear Type".

[@pamecifuentes412]

hi wanna to thank u good demo

[@deseremere]

You do not want to hit that race with a hammer at 1:41 if it is a customer's car - if it is your own you can hit with hummer, brick, or whatever else you like. Honda requires a tech to use a sliding hammer attached to the threads with an adapter, the tool is 07936-5790001 if you care to know what it looks like. Any sliding hammer will do it if you spend 30 min to fabricate an adapter...

[@radiorahim861]

Ty brotha

[@royalhd2203]

Great video man! :D

[@johnkirwan9304]

Help on getting it off the vehicle would be great. All you are showing is the easy stuff that anyone can do.

[@ReleEagle]

John Kirwan surely if you can do this then shouldn’t be hard pulling the rest apart Ay mate, stop talking like a cockhead

[@LLCoolPass]

i hammered, not locked in a vice(dont have), and couldn't get the joint off. crap. autozone gets money, amazon loses money. need to get a vice.

[@johnanderson8705]

Just so you chuckle buts know. this does not apply to 2016, so don't waist your time watching..

[@ZackCarlson]

Which part doesn't apply? I'm about to reboot my 2016 Civc Touring.

[@farahahmed-o7z]

Not all joints will be removed that easy…. I followed your steps and the joint ceased. Many ppl commented that they had to buy new CV axle after they followed your video… Remove this trash video ASAP

[@rozzati2452]

Just cracked my cv axle, great🫥
