Please note that I am not a professional mechanic, nor am I saying that you have to do exactly what I say in this video. Perform these repairs at your own risk! Safety first ;)
I'm glad to see you working on the Honda again. I thought you didn't have any love for us Honda owners anymore. 😜 Great job as always.
Lol no don't worry, I have nothing against Honda/their owners. But sadly this is the last video on this car. It will be moving on to a new home in the very near future.
@@AutoFixYT How many miles did she finally end up with?
@@jesusleon1153 Almost 280k all original components except for some wearable items.
Everyone in the comments complain bout not using a torque wrench this the good Ole way of doin things torque specs were very helpful in the description
If you know your tool you can get things really close to the torque spec, especially if you are also familiar with the car you're working on.
U were informative n thorough with ur directions. Gonna try doing it myself to save money, gotta learn one way or another. Thank u bro!
Thank you!
I give this video a 10 out of 10😊
Thanks!
because you're as clueless as he is. hahhahaha. just run that axle nut in with an impact
Love your video, I have the same car with 289000 mile on it I learned a lot from you.
Thank you! Keep the car going!
Super helpful! Your account deserves more subscribers, all very well put together
Thanks!
Great little video man! Love that you call out sizes of all the fasteners, very helpful 👍
Thank you!
I just watched a video and you're taking more steps to take out your CV shaft. The other channel didn't bother with the brake lines.
I did it so I wouldn't accidentally overstretch it. You do you, I'd you don't want to remove it then definitely do it your way. I take shortcuts sometimes that work well as long as I'm careful. Sometimes the risk is worth it ;)
@@AutoFixYT If you removed the lower ball join nut and a linkage nut, the brake lines wouldn't stretch. I have a bad vibration when I accelerate so I'm not looking forward on replacing my driver side cv shaft.
Very helpful & informative.. thank you sir.
Thank you!
Great video no bull keep up the good work
Thanks!
Does it have to be torque to the exact number or can I just do everything with a wrench ?
Ideally you should be torquing everything. But... you do you. I don't always. Just know your tool and know your nuts and bolts.
Is there any danger of the old axle getting stuck in the transmission? I seem to remember hearing there was some kind of locking ring that could get a little bit out of alignment, and if that happened it made it 100x harder to get out. But I don't know if that applies here. I have an Odyssey that will need a new axle sometime soon.
Yeah it can definitely happen. In that case you'll have to just spin it and wiggle it and pry it until it pops out.
Do the 2.4L and 3.0L have the same front driver axle?
No, they are not the same parts. Same procedure though.
Hey nice and clear video. I was just wondering where and what brand you got the part from, and if you felt it was a nice part. Kind of hard to choose between all the random brands that likely manufacture them in China lmao
I don't remember where i got it from but yeah when it comes to CV Axles most brands are fine and most brands are made in China or other Asian countries. So pick something that is a decent price but also Google some reviews and you'll find an answer for sure.
Did you torque the axle but before notching??
I did not, but the torque is high enough to be able to get it close with an air gun, if you know your tool.
How much for the job
Depends on the labor rate of the shop.
is it 36mm or 32mm?
I say it in the video, 36mm
@@AutoFixYT yea some guides say 32mm but its 36mm for me and also replacement was also 36mm for me was hoping for 32mm so i didnt have to buy another Socket lol
appreciate the quick reply!
Lol yeah I know what you mean. I had to buy a 36mm socket the first time I pulled this axle nut off lol
@@AutoFixYT i just hope it comes off and easy got a torch if it doesnt lol
@@DaSesh haha yeah whatever works lol
cool
Bro didn’t even torque the axle but 😂
It’s fiiiiine lol
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Should I have? Yes. But I didn’t. Oops.
It's about 130lbs. Most air impacts are capable of such torque. Bet if he did measure it, he'd be pretty darn close. It's not a game of exacts sometimes.
😂
You listed torque specs, but you're too lazy to use a torque wrench and instead use a 800-ft-lb impact wrench.
Lol that gun is far from 1000 ft lbs. It's not a cer powerful gun which is why I used it. The other reason is that after years of using several and even one specific gun, you learn it's power by feel. That is the case for me. I can get things pretty close to proper torque with it. Every mechanic will do the same thing, it's all about experience.
@@AutoFixYT You wouldn't bolt down a cylinder head with a impact wrench or air ratchet? That Earthquake impact wrenches rated at 800 ft lb. So it will put out 800 ft lb, no matter how you try to spin it. Impact wrenches, unlike torque wrenches, are not precision instruments. Using an impact wrench to ram home nuts and bolts is a sign of a laziness.
"Every mechanic will do the same thing, it's all about experience"
If that's the case, I rather do it myself. I don't believe this "you'll get a feel for it" nonsense.
@@gregsmith332 It may be rated at 800 ft lbs, but it won't get to 800 ft lbs unless you hold it on the fastener with the trigger pulled. Just like your car won't go 120 mph unless you hold the gas pedal down, even if it can easily get there.
And no I wouldn't torque a head with it but I have run down the head bolts with one before. But there is a difference between a head bolt which is a torque to yield bolt meant to be tightened to a certain degree (not ft lbs) and a suspension bolt made of a high grade steel which does not have an angle torque.
Havjng said that, once you get to know the tool you're holding, you can easily estimate. Might not be spot on, but it will be close, most likely on the tighter end, not the looser end.
You have no reason to be rude. You said "I'd rather just do it myself". Then do it yourself and stop whining like a man baby over a video you are too lazy to make yourself - hence why you're watching someone else do it themselves.
@@AutoFixYT You're wrong, this is a car abuse, and i know mechanics at dealership don't care about torque specs either. You're talking nonsense with your "I can easily estimate", what you have in your hand is a impact gun there is NO control on your part, only illusory, each impact is determined by compressed air not your holding the release a certain time. Unfortunately the auto service industry does not give a f, in the contrary car damaged at dealerships mean more money down the road and new car buys. I've experienced oil pan plug screw being overtorqued by dealer and ruined threadings requiring me to extract it, fortunately it's made of more ductile metal so it probably didn't damage the oil pan and have not have any leaks since. But the same thing is happening on all bolts around the car, in the trunk, direction, everything, mothfg mechanics like you don't give a f and damage everything.
Horrible work.
