btw if you ever plan on replacing suspension components after this DO NOT USE RED threadlock USE BLUE its the same thing just not as strong and youll actually be able to get it out with handtools, red threadlock is semi permanent and not fun

[@sjgwap6781]

Definitely good video if I had the tools I’ll do myself instead of paying 700+ dollars

[@mallorygutierrez9243]

Excellent video !!! Better than me reading ALLDATA instructions

[@enriquerodriguez3090]

Easiest most professional way to do that I've seen. Thanks 🙏👍

[@gregcollins5865]

He made it look easy and it was, thanks to this video.

[@chrischarles-pu8zo]

awesome job, just seeing if its worth doing, I think I'll leave this one for the pros

[@ryangood6037]

Excellent video. Very helpful.

[@michaeloliver2757]

Great attention to detail!

[@roberthall7206]

Preciate the video. First time changing an axle and didn’t want to mess anything up but couldn’t figure out how to get the axle in all the way. Did your little rubber mallet truck and got the job done. Thanks again

[@apivovarov2]

To pull the axle - Hang the axle more or less horizontally by tightening a rope around the outer end of the axle and securing it to the spring. Wrap another rope around the inner axle case (between the inner axle case and the gearbox), creating a simple self-tightening loop. Extend the other end of the rope outward along the axle and attach a regular hammer to it. Make a couple of hits in the outward direction along the axle. The hammer's momentum applied along the rope (along the axle) will pull the axle from the gearbox easily. I just tried it, and it works well. It's better to use a non-scratching rope, such as Dyneema.

No need to remove tie rod? Or the upper mounting bolts? I like it..seems like leaving the tie rod alone that the hub will use it as a swivel. This really isn't a hard one but I used to hate all the stuff to take apart to get to it, I'm doing a mitsubishi mirage hopefully this method will work without me having to take the whole hub off

[@mozzzietv8307]

I am doing this on my car while watching this video. My only concern is that transmission fluid came out but when I saw you take yours out nothing came out?? Should I top it off with more transmission fluid to make up for the loss?

[@electric8668]

Excellent video

+Electric Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@MrGeemoney2001]

Will this be the same for any car with the 2ar-fe engine?

[@1978MODO]

I have 2009 camry le and i need it replaced. Can this job be done in an hour labor time ?

[@hrandmahmoudi147]

Thanks great job 👏👏

[@winstoncarrion4778]

This guy is good..!!

[@alialjomely6669]

Perfect so fast change Axle

[@MrCelica1905]

Thank you 😊

[@thebanane8588]

What fluid is used for the front diff fluid? If ATF is changed does it mean Diff fluids changed?

[@chevinbarghest8453]

The new hub appeared by magic... It was rusty and then brand new ! Just cleaned up ?

[@cristiansolano3419]

Are both the 17 & 21mm sockets 12 point ?

[@user-vv9yu3qi8p]

Does it need calibration or programming after fixing the shaft ?how long those car cool down before removing the existing shaft

[@mike75479]

As I pull the axle out all lot of fluid come out??? Supposed to drain transmission fluid first?

[@TwoTonTimmy]

I ordered my parts from you guys!

[@TRQ]

+@TwoTonTimmy Thanks for watching our video and buying our part! We appreciate your business. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@michaelrussomanno5642]

What was the point of removing the caliper?

[@pablitozm1]

is this the same as a 2008 Toyota Yaris Sedan?

[@DjCBlaq]

Probably better than removing thr huge strut bolts and pulling the axle out from above. Both ways work, this is probably better.

[@alejandromazariegos9223]

Why losing the caliper and the rotor?

[@airon6864]

Does my car need to be in neutral to get it out?

[@lawaladekoyejo3629]

Good job,but should have tell the viewers that they must you calibrate(relearn) the gear after replacing the drive shaft, I think the gear is called 13pin as we call it Nigeria and uses WS fluid, anybody watching this needs to be careful, so as not to damage the gear.

[@Omniscient_01]

Torqued 👍🏽

[@anthonynicholich9654]

You replace both sides at the same time to do the job correctly.

[@nickma71]

Toyota axles have a machined groove for your tool to drive it in and out. Never hit the CV joint like he did.

[@carlosquiahua1614]

Was hard to find you I was washing all your videos in 1A auto

[@JonathanSellsDFW]

0:48 i thought it was Chuck Norris for a moment!

[@eugeneflintroy5555]

Seems like you did not have to remove the rotor not the brake caliper.

[@jessehansen7084]

I'll get my torch ready..

[@pdaddy879]

No need to remove the caliper

[@tonybartolomeu1601]

Boy that thing is rusty 😮

[@Kio.O]

Whoever edited this should be slapped. As a mechanic you like to know about the tough crap. You guys are really cutting out the complicated tight spaces and leaving in the whole 25 second process of removing lugs from the wheel🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the video. That being said... no disrespect, but you SERIOUSLY need to google proper torqe wrench technique. You did OK on the lug nuts at the end, but EVERY other torque point was done incorrectly. Specifically. you should always hold the head of the wrench in place with one hand and torque from as close to the middle of the grip as possible wth the other (any other way gives you incorrect torque readings). Unfortunately you had one hand in the MIDDLE of the wrench which is BAAAAD and I think your other hand was on the grip which is OK. Where you position your hands effects the reading. Seriously, how those were torqued was SUPER bad and incorrect (bad torque levels).
