Im in the middle of changing my cv axle, you just saved my ass thank you!

[@goatmonsterman]

Thanks for the video, made my job a lot easier. Couple of additional tips for guys doing this in the driveway and not on a lift: - Buy the seals you (may) need before you start, they're not expensive. If your 4runner is your daily, finding out they're blown after removing the axles could slow you down. Save the new seals if your existing ones are good. It's not like you'll find them cheaper the next time you have the axles out. - Remove the skidplate. It's just 4 12mm bolts and 5 mins tops but the extra angle you gain while hitting the chisel helps. - If you're having a hard time getting the old axle out of the diff with a hammer and chisel, grab a pry bar and put some leverage against the opposite side of the axle from the flat you're hitting. if it's still stubborn grab 2 pry bars and work them at the same time. - Position the clip on the inner axle splines so the open end faces down. The TSRM says to do this to make it easier to seat, and even then it was difficult for me to get it in.

What seals are they? Need to get a couple for my 2007

[@tires-ze3oz]

I like how you go straight to the point, no unnecessary story like most mechanic.

Lower ball joint torque is 166 ft lbs. Great video

[@fj40highroller1]

Brother, I love your videos! If everybody made instructional videos, short and straight to the point like yours, the world would flow. Love watching your adventures too. Cheers!

[@Americancitizen1]

Imagine my surprise when I’m looking for a video on how to pull that axle shaft out so I can replace the seal and realize that you actually did this! I’m a subscriber and love your stuff and thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@CodyRayDees513]

I’ll be tackling this job tomorrow. Thanks for a informative video brother.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No problem! Glad you found it helpful. Good luck on the job

[@CodyRayDees513]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow from what I see it’s common to get a axle with a bent dust cover on the bearing end. Is this a big deal or easily bent back into place? Or would you return the part for another.

[@candc4christ]

thanks for the video, im a welder, not enough patience to be a mechanic, but this is something i'm going to do for the first time. video helped, i appreciate it and God bless! Hope you and your family have a safe and blessed Christmas Season.

[@24kachina]

Great video, thanks for doing it. I just got my teenaged son a 2006 with 188,000. When inspecting to consider buying I noted torn outer driver boot. Since i don't know how long it's been torn, I think I will just go ahead and replace the axles on both sides like this. I plan to keep this well maintained and on the backroads of southern AZ a long time! Cheers.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Right on!

[@hotajax]

Great job. Thanks for not playing background music. I like how you skipped watching useless steps like removing lug nuts / caliber mounting bolts. Everything I need.

[@svaperio3463]

I had no idea how to do this. Now it looks easy! Thanks so much for the video. You made my day!

[@GiulioSciorio]

Thank you for the quick, no BS vid. I'm off to get the parts!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No problem! Good luck on the repair

[@destryrobinson3708]

I like the no non sense approach. I've done these on my blazer but not the 4 runner yet, that will be my project today. Thanks for your help and advice.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No problem and good luck on the repair!

[@drewross5589]

Concise and to the point. Love it. Just what I was looking for. Appreciate it!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks Charles!

[@kirwankars8597]

It's ALWAYS advised to replace the axle seals and the axle nut when replacing the CV axle. I did the axles on my Ford Ranger, and the seals looked fine, so I put them back together..... and they leaked afterwards. Had to rip it all apart the next day.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

It's possible you may have nicked the seal When removing or installing the axle. I've put hundreds of them in without replacing the seals and have never had one leak. Certainly not a bad idea to replace the seals However don't go after market. Make sure to go OEM.

[@kirwankars8597]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow they wear and expand from the miles. I always replace them.

[@50sKid]

Love the tip about the grease on the circlip. I never thought of that. There really is no quick way to get those cover caps off is there?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah the grease trick really works good and keeps that circlip perfectly centered. One guy commented using a wood chisel. Seems like a pretty good idea. Definitely better than a screwdriver I would think due to the very fine tip

[@JonLasaga]

One of mine was completely dented up by the last guy who was in there. Ended up welding a nut to it and then you can thread a bolt in and use that as a slide hammer

[@RevDevGaming]

@@JonLasaga mine doesn’t even have the axle nut covers. Not sure where they went but I’m kinda glad they aren’t there.

[@JonLasaga]

@@RevDevGaming They can be a bit of a pain. If they arent there though it might be a good idea to put some anti seize on the axle nut. Takes some muscle to get off when it isnt rusted up.

[@ZedxFour]

Great 4Runner content helped a lot

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Sweet. That's good to hear. Thanks

[@597ryan6]

Torque spec on those lower ball joint bolts is 118 lb-ft

[@nordicpride9708]

It’s actually 166 ft lbs for lower ball joints on a 4th gen 4runner. I have the factory service manuals (all 4) and work on a lot of these….

[@597ryan6]

@@nordicpride9708 depends on the year. The 2006 fsm shows 118 lb-ft, 2003 fsm shows 166 lb-ft. Not sure what year it changed or why.

[@nordicpride9708]

@@597ryan6Yeah must have changed in 2006 because all the way up to 2005 it’s 166 ft lbs per FSM. So 2006 up it was changed. Same parts which is weird…

[@trevorgarrett7602]

Excellent video! Quick and to the point. I’m debating doing this or taking it into the shop. With a lift and air tools it looks easy, in my little garage on stands I’m not sure. Lol

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

thanks. and yea lift/tools makes it much easier

[@dustyvans-]

that tire kick was top notch.

[@RevDevGaming]

On my 4th gen my sway bar end link nut backed off and fell out of the road. The sway bar dropped off the link and came into contact with the boot and the axle. It’s was quite a racket. Anyways good video I had this done in 45 minutes. Side note, always check to make sure things are tight. Not sure how it backed off but it did.

[@damiansmith5322]

Straight to the point and not a hour long lol

[@mrawesome12345]

What is the name of the seal you are referring to at 3:35 in the video?

[@trevorgarrett7602]

How many hours should this take a shop for both sides including new rotors & pads? (I’ll supply parts, or do it myself)

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I'm not sure what the book time is off hand. It is a industry standard thing. It will be in their computer system. Or you might be able to find it online somewhere. Also most shops don't like customers supplying their own parts. If you think you can take care of it yourself, that's probably the best bet. Definitely going to save the most and also have a satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself

[@trevorgarrett7602]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I’m thinking it’s like $8-900 at a local shop I’ll get an estimate. But you are right. If I’m doing the brakes and rotors myself, it’s not a huge jump.

[@shanebrown5935]

A couple other videos state the axle socket is a 36mm. You stated 35mm. Which one is correct? Btw, the video is excellent and very informative! Thanks!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

35 mm if it has the factory nut. If it already has an aftermarket nut it may be 36 mm

[@twowheeledsmurph]

Yup - factory cv joint here on 2007 4R and socket was 35mm

[@mrpain9093]

I just completed this task with a 36mm socket. Was a touch loose, but worked fine both ways. A nut that size, 1mm doesn't matter much.

[@mrpain9093]

... unless it's 1mm too small! ;-)

[@clarin3318]

Straight to the point. Thanks!!!

[@fabulousrob38]

Great video.

[@robstccg]

Good video, but you have the incorrect brake rotors for that truck! There are two different diameter front rotors available for the 06-09 4Runners, and you installed the smaller ones. You can see at 6:09 in the video that the pads are overhanging the rotor.
