These guys have single handily taught me how to fix everything on my optima lol

[@michaelshaneyfelt9765]

No doubt, I have a 2007 that is at that point where if I look at it sideways something breaks and these videos have been life savers

[@BPoweredLove]

Great video. Your English is great and the Russian accent (or nearby area) made it fun for us Westerners to hear! Excellent video. Thank you.

[@keivantahmasbipour2682]

Thank you so much for your amazing video. I have a KIA optima 2016, and following your guidelines I changed the CV axle myself.

[@tammex08]

Dude how? I have a 2017 and I'm having a very hard time removing it from the transmission. Any tips?

[@keivantahmasbipour2682]

@@tammex08 I used a long heavy-duty pry bar to extend the lever arm. In this case, you don’t need a hammer. I guess it’s not possible with a screwdriver (as shown in the video) if the CV axle has not been removed for a long time.

Thank you very much, seems I am always getting too much charged, so with ur help,I will save some money 💰

[@uptownsamcv]

good job, it's a lot easier to remove the CV axle nut with the wheel on before jacking up the car. I just pull the center cap off the wheel than loosen the nut with breaker bar and long pipe..

[@spirenoir]

I was wondering who could mash the brakes for me if this is a solo job...I will try this out tomorrow.

[@laytonschabert2993]

I really like your videos and appreciate that you make them, but can you please make chapters so I can skip the into.

[@nandotravels]

Is it harder or easier to change the front passenger side axle? I cant find a video on it

[@tiggermix]

Hello, I have been having the steering wheel vibration problem for a while. Replaced the Wheels, Tires, Struts, Sway Bar Links and now the CV Shaft on the driver side. I still have a vibration.. I did have the car alligned after I replaced the wheels and struts. Do I need to have it re-alligned after the CV Shaft replacement?

[@collynleniger7918]

Check for wheel bearings as well

[@RaymondCasillas-x5d]

Which models need to be drained before removing the cv axel I have a 2015 kia optima sx turbo am I OK are should I drain it first

[@RaymondCasillas-x5d]

??

[@erikcastro9057]

Is there a spacer between the cv axle and the bearing

[@IfflaMedia]

2012 Optima SX, does it leak fluid when axel removed. And if so, where’s the fill hole

[@davidg5704]

Great video. Thank you

[@alanchanthavisouk8557]

What is the torque spec for the cv axle nut?😊

[@kazemkazemi-vt8sh]

Tanks yaALI

[@Selfmade221]

Can anybody point me out to video that helps with passenger side cv axle.

[@Drewmcpheron]

I’m struggling with this as we’ll.

[@pizzigna]

I have dificulty to find parts for KIA and the information about it. Number , OEM codes etc. in this moment I neet to chang my Front Axle right (Driver UK side)

[@tiggermix]

Rock Auto has them all and great prices.

[@michaellinner7772]

It's kinda weird that this guy is using SAE sockets since he's obviously not American or even a native English speaker. The 1 1/4 inch socket is actually a 32mm.

[@adictiveadictive]

Some kets come with both, but I see what you're saying lol

[@mikehernandez6916]

True

[@Whatsgoinonhere]

Mines stuck af

[@bestbomb17]

Is it really that easy? Lmao, could have done this forever ago....wont have all the tools i need cuz i borrow alot at work but pretty simple job.

[@Whatsgoinonhere]

Mines reallllly stuck in there his popped out nicely

[@adictiveadictive]

@@Whatsgoinonhere He probably had a har time getting it out and once he did he put it back and pulled it out easily, only editing the easy part in. Hate when people do that but I don't think it's supposed to pop out that easy. I could be wrong tho

[@LiilTyweezy]

he had to edit that cuz i just did a job today could not get it out @@Whatsgoinonhere

[@dinosaur6773]

do a 2014 2.0 passenger side lol :((
