How to Replace Axle 2007-2016 GMC Acadia

[@charlenemitchell7115]

Me and my fiancè heard popping this morning so we're going to change these this evening. I know he'll love this! Thank you!!

[@Rose-vo8mp]

I thought it was a great video you can tell he is a seasoned mechanic. I was raised around nothing but mechanics and they all cuss like sailors. I felt right at home and it was easy to follow Thank You!

[@Leekautorepair]

Much respect to you brother! Thanks for the compliments!

[@camarochris071]

My thoughts exactly. Felt like watching a knowledgeable friend instead of some " proper instructor" and I mean that in a good way. Appreciate the video!

[@bigzzzt]

"maybe I should get smaller because..." Dude - you kick ass. Subscribed!

[@Leekautorepair]

Thanks bro!

[@perezism1979]

whats good leekautorepair, I've found that when installing the axel you can pack some grease at the end where the clip is at and just center the clip and 9 out of 10 it goes in without a problem . thanks for the video . keep making vids theres alot of people out there that need this kind of tutorial info.

[@lard1892]

There's alot of people out there who shouldn't be doing this shit.....They should be learning how to be a electrician

[@michaelcline4952]

This guy is great. Love his attitude and his speech. Keep the videos coming.

[@rayceballos8316]

I was waiting for the brake line or the speed sensor cable to snap... other wise decent video, thnx

[@eshellef]

That made me wish I knew where he works, so I know not to go there.

[@06goatm6]

And smashing the end of the axle like that should be done with a pointed air hammer or punch. I guess since you are replacing it, it wouldnt matter if you messed the threads up, but at least put the old nut on there when hammering.

[@nicolasramos589]

Hahahaha noob imagine how did he get a job there lol

[@alrdyreg]

Awesome video. Thanks for posting! Changed the CV axels on my 2009 Enclave and this video gave accurate step by step instructions. Well done! Hope you post more for this particular vehicle.

[@Leekautorepair]

Glad I can help! I'll be sure to look out for the next Acadia/Enclave

[@gibbsj69]

I did my drivers side about a week ago (2010 Acadia). Watched a handful of videos. Some of the videos, only showed dribble of trans fluid come out, but like this video, I had a ton that poured out (3+ quarts). Fortunately, I had a pan under and caught 99% of it. Point being, make sure you have a few quarts of Dextron VI on hand before you tackle the driver's side. Supposedly the passenger's side does not spill trans fluid because the axel input on passenger's side is not connected directly to the trans fluid cavity - like the drivers side.

[@H-4th]

Thx a million. Good to see the technique, and finesse needed, along with what to look out for like wheel speed sensors cables.

[@7giop13]

honestly dont know why you dont get alot more views, your videos are the shit

[@Leekautorepair]

gio pola Maybe one day that'll happen lol. Thanks for watching brother!

[@7giop13]

Leekautorepair​ not a problem my dude, btw how do you feel about working at dealerships as to working at a private or as to working at a corporation like being a technician at firestone or these other companies? Im currently a tech at firestone, still in my early stages of my career but not so sure if i wanna be a tech at a Corporation like that, hours suck and it seems like corporate is always in techs asses.

[@Leekautorepair]

+gio pola I'm gonna answer these questions in a vlog tomorrow

[@ram105pine6]

many thanks!!! I learned a lot from this video.

[@bradlybroderick990]

U sould have done a rear axle replacement video also.

[@muggaphilly2072]

Gotta be from philly he said "on this jawn" lol good vid bro bro let the haters hate..

[@Leekautorepair]

All day bro!

[@blakedoty6109]

Great video. Loved the cursing.

[@nickpartin]

Big help. Thank you sir

[@bma4203]

?? For ya ma 2013 Acadia left rear axle has slip about a 1” of movement clank clank. And the stabilitrak and trac control lights are one. It makes that clank clank at lower speed every 1/2 rotatation.. it’s in the rear end carrier. Left rear. Is that a axle bearing or carrier bearing? And the trac and stabli track off lights came on one that clank started.. I got under there today the sensors are good and found the left rear axle to have that left right play I checked right side it’s good.. it’s a friends car I trying help him can’t find anything part wise online . 2013 Acadia awd.. thanks man liked the vid for ya 👍🏻

[@Novisk58]

just did the cv axle on my 05 pilot. Most everyone says remove the abs sensor so you don't damage it. Seems though a lot of the bolts snap off. Mine didn't break but the abs being plastic was stuck in the hole. Tried prying it out and then it broke. Now I'm replacing the abs sensor. Wished I would have left it now and took the gamble. I did remove the caliper to not put so much tension on the brake cable and the axle just needed that extra 1/2 inch more to come out. Those 2 knuckle bolts aren't they your adjustment for alignment? I tried to make sure mine went back in same as when they came out.

[@stevenjames7073]

Man thank u so much for sharing …

[@Texaca]

...are the transmissions on these GM platform Acadia Traverse and Enclave (the GM Lambda platform/GMT968/GMT960) are they any better than the GMC U-body/platform, which is the Venture Uplander Silhouette Relay Terraza Relay Montana, and shorter version Aztek and Rendezvous... those us the 4T65e/4T65-HD

[@johngoold1218]

Good stuff. Going to try this on my 2008 Acadia and save $110 an hour labor costs...... hopefully.

[@MrDodi74]

I did this on the passenger and it didnt leak ..good stuff

[@matthewmoore4256]

You do great work

[@robertdudley966]

You had to much pressure on that break line

[@kartboarder22g17]

Feel sorry for the guy that gets that back after this job, 3 years later your brake line is leaking....

[@Leekautorepair]

I feel sorry for ya mom

[@GokuTheHusky]

Then why are you on this video if you're such a mechanic bro?

[@davidjsouth231]

My wife’s CV axles on her 09 Acadia I think have gone bad. Makes a clicking or popping noise when turning. And during travel when you go over uneven road it jerks

[@malcolmantoine3451]

You do not need to take the tie rod off. Take the brake caliper assembly off so you have more room to extract the axel.

[@Leekautorepair]

You are right but the vid serves more than one purpose

[@chrisao1987]

If you take the brake like loose the hub would shift over and you can get it out without taking the tie rod off.

[@danakane1977]

Are axles in envoy compatible with Saturn outlook

[@ezradixon239]

I like the way u work. Bro

[@themoo908]

I heard a power rangers communicator go off. ZORDON IS CALLING!!

[@Leekautorepair]

Damn right!

[@henrymeow5950]

I’m not a mechanic but I’ve done my owned before and they are super easy to take off. And ummm. Idk man but a bungee cord will keep your brakes from hanging 😆 😆 since your already in there might ass welltake the brake off and shit if your trippn about time. Charge them for it. Saves you the hassle of having to go back and do brake lines. Gotty other than that legit still shout out from California

[@matthewmoore4256]

Malik, you know you're the only one who shows a left axle replacement on an Acadia which has the same exact front end as the Chevy equinox which is what I am getting ready to do I looked at 1A Auto they don't even have one video that shows a front left CV axle being replaced on an Acadia or a terrain or a Blazer or anything like that or an equinox

[@phataj2]

I need this done. I can drive to you. How much? Aberdeen md

[@Leekautorepair]

Where u coming from

[@RescueMovingServices]

Good job my amigo , well done and grab a cerveza . Salud

[@chrisoliveira6941]

Turn steering wheel to right, it will allow enough room

[@garmin1488]

Thanks for the tip, i have to do this job next week.

[@johnlonganbach3604]

Well done. Thanks

[@lard1892]

I hope this guy isn't working on you car...maybe you can get Scotty to do it...LOL

[@robr471]

Great f__king video. This is how real people talk when they're working on a car. Thanks for putting the work in to make and post this sh_t.

[@Leekautorepair]

Facts!

[@onlyonecannoli3952]

I recommend doing a few of these before making a how-to-video.

[@Leekautorepair]

Ya mom always recommend me lol

[@spudkiss1984]

😪 my brake line there a leak in the future

[@ghagadargarrell8392]

What's the torture on that nut

[@Limabravo29]

Know your tool size young blood,lol great video though keep being great black man.

[@nibbzs15]

Yoo u didn't take the tie rod off in the last video

[@Leekautorepair]

+nibbzs15 Good call! Didn't notice that but hey the job is done lol

[@scrumpymcgrumpy]

The bolt got splines on it don’t tear it up

[@Leekautorepair]

Sure dad

[@scrumpymcgrumpy]

@@Leekautorepair i tore mine up :)

[@thelsel348]

Pretty fucking good video...and shit.

[@texasmadeftw111]

Overall this was good video bro you explained that shit good Now i can fix my 08 acadia Even tho you made some mistakes but we human we aint perfect

[@lard1892]

you can be a plumber, electrician and mechanic in one day on youtube........

[@themechanic764]

I would have been done with disassembling like in 5 min

[@tylerhollisterth]

Good video bro, but I'm confused as fuck. I've only replaced a few axles before but I've been trying to do my moms axle on her 07 Acadia awd. It's the driver side front. The fucking thing will not go all the way in and I have no clue why. We bought a remanufactured one and I thought that was the problem so we bought a new one and the bitch still wont go all the way in. I tried everything with the clip on the axle but still nothing. What do u recommend

[@acadiafletcher7398]

If this man would talk more professional he would get more views. Don't say fuck and shit too much on your next video and ill subscribed to Your videos. Thanks.

[@apexriver7024]

On some real s*** pull r freaking speed sensor out next time and drain the trans

[@nicolevier2103]

yeah sure

[@bryceflanders2100]

Only thing, not sure if it eased mentioned. And for real bro not being a dick.. to avoid brake line fracture or braking, take off brakes first

[@Leekautorepair]

Good call

[@nibbzs15]

I just did this to mine and still can't get it in I'm just pushing the shit outta it and no luck

[@barberian2525]

.... thats poor workmanship though. youre just winging it. follow the instruction so you dont have to pull some cables and hammering shit.

[@kj197734]

Leekautorepair Sounds like he has already eaten a few in his lifetime.

[@barberian2525]

lol real mature kid. if your customer saw this they will get mad cuz of your poor workmanship. real mature.

[@ericgilchrist]

You can't do jobs like this without "pulling some cables and hammering shit." And he hammered shit correctly. There's no poor workmanship here!

[@nicolasramos589]

Hahaha you care about a clip hahahahaha wow I hope you guys don't follow this "mechanic" steps 😄 😅 😆 🤣

[@davidmartinez22]

I'd like to shush all the haters and say... This was a great Muthafucking video. btw it's been proven that people that cuss have a higher level of intelligence.

[@Leekautorepair]

Tell em bro!

[@269KID1]

Do you have to cuss man? smh anyway good video..I didn't finish watching you too?

[@TheFingerlady]

The more people use fucking swears, it’s proven they are more honest. Google it.

[@prospectorgem]

TOO MUCH SWEARING ON VIDEO. VERY INFORMATIVE

[@TheJosephDobbs]

Totally agree

[@bustedknuckles402]

Too much mouth.

[@Leekautorepair]

That’s what ya mom said so I stopped going downtown

[@nicolevier2103]

you can damage the brake hose and speed sensor dam and you are mechanic please you can damege that and later what the onwer need to pay because you are a bad mechanic

[@fuman2057]

I fully agree I have to fix these ppls fuck ups all the time.

[@Leekautorepair]

Coming from someone that’s inexperienced and gotta watching KZbin vids to do a job.....yea sure

[@fuman2057]

If you are talking about me sir I am nowhere near inexperienced. I have had my Master's and Automotive for the past 10 plus years in all fields. I just watched this kind of stuff for Pure utter ass entertainment
