Even though this video is several years old, it helped me immensely in 2023, working on the 2011 Rogue. Thank you, friend! This is great quality content!
Excellent video my friend, all i see is videos of guys replacing the entire driveshaft assembly, at nearly 300Euros here in France why would i do that when its only ONE split rubber CV boot that needs changing at 20Euros........ Saved my life man, much respect from France........i'll buy you a beer if you ever visit !!!
I have viewed many video tutorials, your is by far the best. Clear images, zooming in at key points, dangling labels, clear narration. placing emphasis on critical areas. You are a TEN! Congratulation!
Wow! You, sir, are a saint. I cannot believe the amount of attention to detail and quality camera work you put into this video. So clear and well explained. If you ever get tired of working on cars you can be a professional instructional video producer or something. Wow. Awesome work. Thanks so much for making this. My front right inner CV axle boot exploded today on my 2011 Rogue exactly like what happened in this video. I don't have the tools or lift equipment to be able to do it myself but now I know exactly what needs to be done and I'll know if anybody is trying to rip me off or feed me some BS. Thanks so much! You just gained a new subscriber :)
I read through a bunch of comments to not reiterate information but I used to manufacture the 3 legged part inside the boot and we called them spiders. Not sure why but the teeth inside are called splines and the reason it fits one way but not the other is that they are cut at a taper. Not flat. On the shaft and the spider to match. Your 100% correct they need to go ONE way. Great video. You told right. I just thought my comment would explain why. I do have a 2009 rouge. Love your vid 👍🏼 liked.
I watched this video after seeing your comment on the 1A Auto video and this job went from a I'm gonna take it somewhere to a yeah I can do this. Very well done and thanks for the great video.
I just completed this job and I must say that the video you made is amazing. You are the man. I am an amateur and it took lots of patience and perseverance but I managed to finish the job. The only issue is that the area behind the rotor, when the wheel spins is making a bit of a noise because of all of the rust in the area. I took it for a spin and that little noise is beginning to disappear. I will apply some car brake cleaner tomorrow and see if that helps. Thanks a million.
Thanks for showing the exact tools and socket sizes! Saves a lot of return trips to autozone. Also the correct alignment was helpful. Think I can tackle this now. Agree with others, best repair vid on you tube so far. 👍
Much better and easier than auto 1 they make u think u need thousands of dollars worth of tools and a Jimi newtron brain to get a simple job done.well done man great video
This is the first video I have seen on RUclips changing the inner cv boot by partially removing the CV axle. Leaving the transmission still plug up with part of cv axle prevents the transmission oil from spilling out. An innovative move but with less working space when installing back the CV axle.
One of the best detailed vids on boot replacement. I do my own i made more work for my self by taking complete axle out unbolted bracket from engine few years back now i know you can break it from the hub that the boot seats with iner clip releasing tri pod bearings. Australia X-Trail T30 boot $23 3 hours labour. Can't believe price's I'm seeing in comments 😮
Bro, I am a videographer and I was looking for a good video to fix my moms car and your video is was really good filmed and explained. Great job on those videos. Thanks
it takes a LOT of work to make my videos high quality. Which is why i don't post new videos as often as i would like. i have about 15 videos taking up about 1 terra byte of space on my PC that i have not even edited yet. I do enjoy making them though. Thanks for your support i really appreciate it.
Really good instructional video. Very clear, very detailed. Even though I ordered the CV axle I'm considering doing this instead to avoid hassling with that potentially frozen bearing holder. One question though: Given how thick that grease is, why not fill the metal cup with it before inserting the bearings? It doesn't seem like it can drain out during reassembly.
Nice job! I would suggest an alignment since you removed the strut bolts. Just a little amount of camber movement will affect the alignment toe readings. To minimize toe and camber movement, you can remove the lower ball joint instead of the strut bolts. A little more work since you now have to separate the ball joint and maybe tie rod too. If you plan on doing an alignment, then I would probably do it the way in this video.
Really helpful and Thumbs up for the video. I was doing brake work this week and noticed the same exact problem on my rogue. Got the repair kit and changed it today.
thanks so much for thise video , it help me install the new replacements, and save a lot of money , instead of paying , those little hints were absolutey GREAT!!!!!!! too many other videos forget those small hints , saves making mistakes that could cost to the repairs due to accidental added processes. i will be looking for more , especially on honda crx , i try to do all of my own repairs and maintenance , im thinking of repairing my clutch plate and pressure plate, well , thank you again , ciao 4 now
Awesome video man you just saved my ass at work haha! Had no idea why the roller bearings didn't come out that cup easily. Att least I won't mess up the other side. Great video and well put together. ✌
Thanks for the very detailed video. Nice to see someone taking time to do the job well. My wife's 2011 Rogue needs this done (shop found it during a tune-up/oil change). I don't have the tools or space to do it, although I do as much as I can to our vehicles myself. Always like to familiarize myself with work that is to be done to our vehicles even when I am not the one doing it. Makes it easier to talk to the shop and helps me make decisions as to whether the techs are being honest. Fantastic video!
I’m in the same situation. Curious what the repair like this goes for? Any ballpark figure so I can mentally prepare myself lol? His videos really are detailed and certain giving me some insight.
@@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt just checked & we paid $287 + tax. $177 for labor & $110 for the part. We got quoted over $1000 from the Nissan dealership, too. Ours has been going for almost 2 years since the repair.
@@TortureBot had the job done today by a local shop. They used Durlast Gold I believe from auto zone. Said I needed an alignment as well. I paid a little over 380 after taxes. Kept the original part though…They asked me why I wanted it and I said incase the new part fails. All it needed was an inner boot. Barely 80,000 miles. Thanks for replying and sharing the quotes.
any chance you have the part number for the clips on the inner closeout panel? Great video, I replaced the RH inner boot a couple months a go and today the the LH inner boot was dripping grease on the garage floor. Thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed video.
Awesome DIY dude!!! I subbed and don't even have a Rogue.... wish you could do some DIY's for the R35 GTRs.... Thanks for being extremely informative! -Brandon
Awesome job I had one seize a few months back parts labor and tax was 585 they also changed the bracket does that sound correct Nissan however did not reimburse me for the parts since a private garage did the job
Nissan part number nissan c97da-ja00k (for AWD, I believe FWD is a different #). Local dealer price was $41 as of Jan 2020 and they had it in stock. Cheapest online price I since found is $32. You won’t get a generic aftermarket boot to fit as it needs that weird profile on the larger internal end of the boot you can see clearly. This video is great BTW. My boot had only a tiny split, and I didn’t need to remove the three rollers off the spider. Finally, the Nissan kit is great; it’s got the fantastic stainless OEM retaining rings (much better than wire ties) and a big tub of CV grease.
Awesome! Great job and professional quality video. Excellent presentation skills and calm and confident to expain every single steps in detal. Am following you for new videos. Many thanks.
I checked other 2013 Nissan Rogue tutorial and they unscrew the 1 bolt in the bottom arm control bracket instead of the 2 bolts in the strut. Can I use your method for my 2013 Nissan rogue because it seems harder to remove the bolt in the arm control than the 2 in the strut?
There are crooks in the NTB service who lie about the price of replace on new axle as well as the cost of labor. They put in 2 hours of labor where 1 hour costs $ 127. All in all it cost me $ 500. Time of replace of brand new axle cost no mere than 30 min. When I wanted to see the old axle that had been replaced because of a damaged axle boot, they showed it to me. When I told them I wanted to get it, they refused to give it to me. But after an increased tone on my part, they gave in and gave it to me. I will now replace the axle boot with this repair kit and will haves a backup axle.
Lots of times they keep the old axle to send back as a core. They are often re manufactured using the old parts. if the Dealer to repair shop does not return the old part they get charged extra money.
Most shops these days use a stretch boots and a boot expander tool or for DIY just a cheap fitting cone no need to dismantle the pot joint or remove the shaft from the car works for both inner pot joints and outer CV joints.
2009 quest is a little different. But the procedure is just as simple. There is no clip to keep the rollers in the cup, you just have to yank them out and hammer them in... I use Davinci Resolve to edit. Blackmagicdesign.com. Its awesome!
Auto Fix Pal I figured it would be similar, had to replace a cv axle cause it was only $66 for the whole thing. Thanks! I got tired of paying for adobe premier pro so I’m going to give that a shot
@@Jursaw It has a learning curve to it. Sometimes not the most intuitive to use. But the Free Version is VERY powerful and worth the aggravation of learning to use it and not having to pay monthly for premier pro.
Thank you. i still have the HF 56" tool box but it's at home now. I don't work for STS anymore i have been with Nissan for a little while now and this particular dealer supplies tool boxes. I think they just want everything in the service department to be uniform. Personally i refer my own toolbox. not enough space in the box they have there.

Thanks man. You can share the video as an appreciation. Glad it helped
Thank you 🙏🏼 I spend 50 on the repair kit and less than 50 on tools I didn’t have, you saved me around 500 bucks on repairs

This is a fantastic video. I've done this before and I made like every mistake he said not to do haha. Good stuff
Superbly detailed. I don't think anyone else does it like that on RUclips for cars . Thanks a bunch.
Those instructions were crystal clear. Thank you so very much!!
You should have 12M more followers man...this is a great video.

Sincere thanks for putting so much detail and narration into this video. Helped me do this earlier today.
Excellent job and well documented thanks for the high quality job, it’s nice when folks care about quality
You are very welcome. Be sure to share my video if you can. Thanks.
This is the best vid on this topic by far. I'm going to do this within the next couple of weeks, assuming I can get the parts.

a sensational video, I now have the confidence to replace the boot on my daughter's Rogue,...superb !!!
Thanks sir. Good to know this can be done without taking the trans side off. Will help avoid spills of CVT fluid
Excellent presentation. Best auto repair video on the subject. Thanks
Your Welcome

Can the passenger side inner boot also be replaced like this without removing the entire axle out?
Made it look easy man appreciated
Good video. I just subscribed!!! You just saved me a lot of money!!!
Do you put loctite on the knuckle bolts?
Why youdid nnot clean the cv housing from greass before install!?

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed.
Excellent video thank you so much indeed and no need to pull the axle out of the transmission 😉
Outstanding! Cleared up a lot of questions I had. Nicely done!
Wow! Thank you so much :) do you have the link to the boots? Cant find them anywhere. Or how do you measure that special diameter?
Can you still ride the car before fixing the boot?

little bit different then toyota boots but still simple concept. Is this similar to a 2009 nissan quest? Also what editing software do you use?
