How to replace your axle | FRS BRZ 86

[@boost331]

Way easier than expected. This platform is so DIY and mod friendly its crazy

[@zeroskater961234]

Just did this, took less than an hour, thanks again Kevin!

[@RagyD]

Yo! U torqued to 140 right?axle nut I think he meant to say 140 not 160 I j have one axle nut ticking

[@itsMadrizzle]

@@RagyDmine does the same. only the rear passenger side is making a clicking or ticking

[@asianboyyy117]

@@itsMadrizzledid you figure out what it was

[@itsMadrizzle]

@@asianboyyy117 yes it was my wheel, not the axle. i had a crack on my wheel

The most underrated 86 youtuber

[@KevinVo]

Appreciate the love!

[@infestedalien]

Thanks alot for the video, even if my BRZ still don't need this replacement it's a pure joy to watch your videos! Subaru / Toyota always suprises me how "work-friendly" and logic constructed they are. :) Edit: 9 days later watching your video I have to replace both of my CV-axels in front on my Subaru Levorg haha!

[@phillies0099]

I've had to replace both of mine and got them for rockauto for like $70 a piece and they've been going strong since

[@Son0x]

Are they still good?

Are they still good?

[@phillies0099]

@@Aaron-fb6mb I've had to replace another since then but I don't believe that was the axles fault, I have about -10 degrees of camber all from the lower control arms so the axles sit at a weird angle and it's easier for the boot to rip

[@JFlogerzi]

@@phillies0099 -10 wholly smokes you going for a stanced car?

[@monstershayne]

Hey man, which brand did you get?

[@AnsityJ]

Great video. I couldn’t get the axle out of the hub for the life of me, used a mini sledge hammer and everything. Gave up and took it to a shop. :(

[@Musicizmyremedy]

Great video! Just learned these are a weak point on our 86’s, specially when lowered or boosted

[@KevinVo]

Yeah, they don't like the added stress of the weird angles when lowered.

[@Gaz86JPN]

Recommend getting some solid diff risers.

[@Gaz86JPN]

Just a note, axle bolt is not 160 ft-lbs, it's 140 ft-lbs (190nm)

[@TheRds797]

Mine is seized in, will not hammer out. Axle shaft is starting to mushroom.. Any ideas on removing a seized shaft?

[@mrmikko1819]

Get a wheel hub removal tool, clamps into the rotors and uses a rod to push out the axle, same thing happened to me

[@rickyzd8]

My 2017 86 started making a ticking noise so I guess it’s time to replace my rear axle

[@disiyc]

Whatd you replace so theres no tick?

[@austinharding615]

solid video i'm replacing my 2nd rear pair in 3 months on my wrx😑

[@KevinVo]

Luckily this is the only time I've had a problem with mine.

[@seanlundin-weston2479]

Love the new music

[@KevinVo]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@Odzyn]

Does it have a seal you got to replace? I noticed where the axel goes into the diff is leaking

[@itsMadrizzle]

mine does the same also and i don’t understand why it’s leaking from the diff when the axle is inside

[@Odzyn]

@ its the seal or the boot on the axel it.

[@bobinoregon2024]

Thanks for this video Kevin !!! learned a bunch. thank you.

[@toughie2722]

Do you need to get an alignment after this?

[@saulespino2510]

Great content Kevin, I have a 2018 BRZ and should I worry about one of my axles going bad? Do you think yours leaked grease because of the aftermarket suspension arms? Subbed

[@KevinVo]

It's not something that occurs often unless you're hard on your car and have it significantly lowered. I would guess that my boot got damaged due to my off road excursions at the track 😅

[@saulespino2510]

@@KevinVo Thank you for your reply

[@dodgerfan123100]

How do you torque the hub nut down to spec. My torque wrench doesn’t go that high 😂

[@KevinVo]

You need a bigger torque wrench lol

[@dodgerfan123100]

@@KevinVo ughhhh and my torque wrench is too big for my oil pan bolts 😵‍💫

[@RagyD]

@@dodgerfan123100it’s 140 lol right

[@bradensbuilds]

I just replaced my axles. Everything is connected and nothing is broken but my CEL, abs, and traction lights are on. What’s that mean

[@Michael-zu9py]

Probably abs module got nicked or damaged hopefully not the case

[@alexhernandez9064]

Thinking mine was going out. I felt a clunk feeling while driving 5 mph sometimes while clutch is pressed in and it’ll go kinda faster as I driver a lil faster . Does anyone know anything about that?

[@kgthegreatone943]

Doesn't seem too bad of a job. Maybe I can do it in my driveway

[@KevinVo]

Absolutely doable!

[@JFlogerzi]

What kind of grease did u use?

[@NotVinnyy]

Thanks bro!

[@LURKLORD92]

Lip plate name?

[@KevinVo]

I'm not sure I know what you're referring to sorry.

[@LURKLORD92]

@@KevinVo sorry the lip skid plate you have but I see you have a parts list I was just wondering the name of it I like it very much would be nice on my mobile brz armor lol

[@KevinVo]

@@LURKLORD92 I believe you're talking about the Verus Engineering front splitter correct?

[@LURKLORD92]

@@KevinVo yes indeed thanks!!

[@elk4331]

feels like we lost a very important 2 sec at 4:56.

[@carsnob]

No need to grease the axle nuts on 86s?

[@carsnob]

And everyone seems to have the axle nut torque different it’s either 160 150 143 or 141 or 140.1 the last is the one I trust the most I’m having axle nut clicking I’m almost 100% sure it’s just the nut I just don’t wanna waste a new one. Seems like you’re supposed to torque it dry to 140.1 that’s what Subaru says apparently.

[@Kilo_9]

Always go to local parts store get one and they usually have life time warranty. It breaks u get new one for free. What I do with oreillys auto

[@KevinVo]

I've heard most people that track their card don't have very good luck with the auto parts store axles. I don't want to lose track time having to swap out an axle in the paddock, but they may work for some people!

[@wtfbmo]

THANK YOUUUUU

[@shinigami052]

This looks easier than replacing the clutch...

[@KevinVo]

So much easier hahaha

[@Aaron-fb6mb]

Car so low I learned to change both within an hour

[@KevinVo]

Low car problems 😅
