I ended up having a really easy time and I didn't even need to get under the car. I pulled the inner boot off, pulled the shaft itself out, and scooped out the grease and bearings with a rag. This left me with essentially a cup that I needed to pull out. I put the hook of my chain over the lip, I had a feeling it might work, I knew it would slip right off, or it would work where the harder I pulled the harder it gripped. I worked almost too easily, I stood up, let the chain go slack, it didn't fall off or anything, then I gave the chain one tug tight, not even hard, more as a test to see if the hook was going slip off or not, and clink, it popped right out.
My only question is: you used anti-seize for the outer spindles, do I use the same stuff to lightly grease the inner mount? (Referring to 4:26) Otherwise this was a perfect video! All steps shown clearly and described cohesively!
@@DaleGofton The camber is not adjustable on this vehicle so the removal of the strut bolts will not affect alignment. The bolts can only go back in their original location. Of course if it's been years since your last alignment it wouldn't be a bad idea to get it checked anyway 🙂
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive It *MAY* have been adjusted, by replacing one or both of the pinch bolts with smaller-shouldered adjustment bolts (P/N 90120-SHJ-A00), often called "crash bolts", which will allow a degree or three of camber adjustment. It's possible, though probably rare, that you'll ever encounter one of these in the wild unless there's more than a degree of difference in camber from one side to the other, like in the case of a bent component somewhere.
@@every_thing_wood1251 Usually a pry bar in between the transmission and CV axle is enough to pop it out. But if not they have an attatchment for a slide hammer you can rent both the tool and hammer from the parts store. Just tell them what you're struggling with and they'll set you up with the right tools.
@ValleyMobileAutomotive yea the pry bar did nothing for me. I ended up pulling one side of the axle and the boot slid off from the transmission side. So I took the axle itself inserted it into the transmission side, and put 2 vice grips on the sides to not let it slide out. Then I just yanked on the axle about 4 or 5 times and it popped right out like nothing. This was causing such a headache, and this worked FLAWLESSLY!

One of the FEW who can explain
a procedure a Normal person will understand! Congrats.
Also, no added B.S. to ramp up minutes.
I've subscribed.
Awesome video! Especially, the size of each socket! Major time saver! Thanx again
This guy is a pimp. Good video right to the point
Oh man your video help a lot thanks man
EXCELLENT. Quick clear and good visual clarity. Right to the point. You truly are a Pro! Thank you Sir.
Thank you for the video 👍

Anti-seize works well 👍
You're the best thank you
@@MauriceBrokenNose-n3d Glad this video was helpful 🙂
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Thank you!!
@@TaiwoKuti-d7w You're welcome 👊
Damn my axle is not sliding off. I'm trying to hit it with the pry bar like you did but it's not budging.
Mine isn't either. Any luck?
@@every_thing_wood1251 no luck but I also haven't tried anymore sense.
@@PDillz do you still need to get it off?
@@every_thing_wood1251 yes lol it's not blown out all the way just yet
Buen trabajo!
Possible need of alignment due to the 2 bolts removed from strut…?

thanks! which parts you use? Genuine or 3rd party?
These are aftermarket parts from the local auto parts store.
Very good!
Thanks buddy.
Been fighting mine for about 3 days now new part won’t go in or out.
What's the labor time for that
Around an hour and a half
What if the axle is stuck?
Stuck in the transmission or stuck in the knuckle?
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive stuck in the transmission for me

@@every_thing_wood1251 Awesome! Cool trick. Sometimes we gotta get creative 👍
😁
The axel not is 36mm, it's 34mm jeez!
