Rear CV Axle Replacement on 2008 Honda CRV (Passenger side)(Rusty)

In this video, after the rear trailing arm had been damaged and replaced, the CV axle is next. The CV (constant velocity) axle allows the rear differential to transmit power to the rear wheels giving the vehicle its all wheel drive. The process overall is really simple for me to do, but may pose challenges to others who have never touched a vehicle. When reassembling, the cam bolt should be "TIGHT" if you are driving to get a alignment, this was not a concern for me as the alignment rack is across the room. Otherwise I didn't have a problem with anything and it went smooth. If you haven't already, dont forget to comment, like , and subscribe along with checking out my channel content for more.

Great help, made the job so easy (except for the 24 mm (36 socket) wheel hub nut that refused to come off and had to be ground and chisseled off). Thanks for the informative video

I’m glad it helped, I had to do the same thing on the other side sitting there with my air hammer and they cut off wheel to cut it. I tried for the longest time with a 1 inch ratchet, extending out 3 feet and I still couldn’t get it to break free.

nice job with that brake line..

[@Alexa_Spencer]

It didn’t matter as there was little to no weight on that caliper but use your own judgement. When the rear trailing arm snapped, it destroyed a lot in the rear including but not limited to stretching the rubber flex hose so it needed to be replaced along with the caliper among the many other parts.

Would love to see more lancer videos, I have a 2003 oz rally myself

[@Alientraveler003]

Awesome thanks for your time

[@Alexa_Spencer]

No problem 👍

Good instructional video. And to to think, I was going to lower the rear differential on my 2004. One question though, by removing the rear control arm positional cam, did that change the wheel alignment? Did you have to get and alignment after?

[@chrisolemac7027]

Gonna try this for my 2005 hopefully it’s a similar process

What's the correct size socket for the axle nut? Ah, you said 36mm. Next question: Where is this car with so much rust?? You answered that, too: Michigan. Where did you get 86 ft/lbs for the lugs? I thought Honda said 80. Good video. Sucks that I'll have to get an alignment.

Bro I’m learning how to work on cars I learned about the front suspension on FWD cars and now I’m learning about the rear suspension side It’s a bit different but about the same concept as the front The front has a lot more components for steering so I’m gonna assume the rear should just have a regular suspension for dampening ride quality So far I’ve learned how to replace the rear shock absorbers and the rear coil springs and the entire assembly as one and the rear sway bar end links I’m still trying to figure out the rest of the other components that a typical rear suspension of a fwd car would have so would a rear axle only be because it has a rear differential?

Great t

Gracias

[@Greenygreen511]

Great video. What would/should this job cost at a shop?

[@N3RFTHIS]

Don't need to remove the caliper just for the shaft

[@AndreLuis-ci1ni]

Ola, precisa tirar ou completar o oleo do diferencial apos a troca?

[@salouminashid]

Good👍

[@Alexa_Spencer]

Thanks!

[@JT-wi3ue]

Do you need an alignment after this?

[@Alexa_Spencer]

Yes the rear toe is going to be off. Though you can get the trailing arm close, it is a wear angle and should be checked before fully returning the vehicle to normal service

[@JT-wi3ue]

@@Alexa_Spencer thank you! Did this and upper control arm and then did an Alignment
