Audi Front CV Axle Removal | Works on Most Models (A4, A5, A6, A7 A8, Q5, Q7)

While I was removing the engine on this 2009 Audi A6 I noticed both axles were ripped and not looking to hot. So, in this video I'll be showing you guys how to remove the front CV axles. It's pretty easy unless you live in the rust belt. If you do, then the upper control arm pinch bolt will need to be replaced 9/10 times as it breaks or gets stuck very often. Your axles may be more stuck in the hub than this one as well. Here in Vegas there is nothing rusted on, it's quite nice. If it gets stuck, put the bolt in the end and hit it with a small sledgehammer.
As always, here is a full list of tools needed for the job.
* Hex Sockets Extended - amzn.to/3vGEetJ
* Triple square Sockets - amzn.to/41m7zFy
* X-Core extension - amzn.to/47XiDeE
* Aircat Pnuematic Impact - amzn.to/3U3tTC5
- Milwaukee Electric Rachet - amzn.to/47dMgrf

Love you vid's man, helps a lot with my Audi's. And in NE Ohio this job is a Nightmare at times.

Perfect timing as always! I was planning to replace my driver's side axle soon.

[@Mechani_Cole]

I think as long as they aren't stuck, this is one of the easiest cars to swap axles on🫡

[@jeremysiven7093]

@@Mechani_Cole I know this is just the removal vid, but do you have a link for the axles you would put on? Or a part number? I'm a little conflicted whether I should get something off Rock Auto or ECS Tuning.

@jeremysiven7093 honestly, I'm keeping it cheap and just grabbing these most likely - amzn.to/3SqYDMm I've never had an issue with this brand of axles. Plus at that price I could go through 3 sets before it's gets to same cost as one OEM set.

Thanks man

[@Mechani_Cole]

Thanks for the comment!

[@miguelc1540]

I’m guessing you need an alignment after replacing the cv axel’s? I need to do mine as well.

[@Mechani_Cole]

Not typically no. If doing it this way it's not really needed.
