How did you get the cv-joint off the axle ? I have seen several videos showing to put the shaft in a vice and banging on the cv inner race with a hammer & punch. I have replaced many cv-joints on passenger cars, & 4x4 SUV & pick-ups and managed to remove the cv-joint using the same method. However on 4x4 such as the Land Cruisers, Nissan patrol and Land Rovers with solid axel housings it is almost impossible to get them off without damaging something. Of all of the on line videos I have seen there are some great videos showing the complete repair / rebuild of the cv-joint (cleaning, replacing & lubing them) but not one of them showed how they remover the cv from the axel shaft. I made up a tool consisting of a pipe long enough approx 4 inches longer than the axle shaft & just large enough to fit over the shaft so that the pipe fits against the inner race of the cv-joint. By inserting the shaft and cv-joint into the pipe vertically and lifting the shaft & cv and slamming it onto the pipe usually does the trick on the SUV, Pick-ups and passenger cars ( External type shafts & cv-joints ) however 50% of the time even with the pipe jig I just cannot get them apart on the solid axel type. What I did notice on L Cruiser cv-joints was that on the outer end of the cv-joint where the shaft splines onto the cv-joint , the bore was slightly chamfered so as to collapse the c-clip when the shaft is inserted into the cv-joint. However the opposite side (inner) bore was not chamfered which prevented the c-clip from collapsing, causing me to think that the cv cage is installed backwards, simply because if it had the chamfered bore on the inner side it would be easier to remove the axel. When installing the axle into the cv-joint one would only have to use a screw driver to push the c-clip into the axle shaft groove to install the shaft into the cv-joint . One RUclips video stated he had to remove the inner c-clip to get the axel out of the cv-joint however this section of the repair he didn't show. I cannot see how this would be possible. Any comments on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
@@vtectroy1073 my dana 44 to replace uni.s costs $26,& 1.5 hrs.cv.s are shit.weak.dont turn as far.go look at a jeep d44,easy to work on if needed,basic,strong.toyota never changed.just the price.there very old tech..just keep pumping it out..

toyota cv.s all the same..cv.s are inherantly weak.cheap & nasty.go find a dana 44,strong as a 9",cheap easy to fix.turn better.more parts available cheap.
Great seeing Alan when he used to grunt all the heavy work himself......Well I love it.
Yeah we do too mate!
Very interesting, clear and helpful. Wonderful to watch and learn from such a pro!
Love this guy Allen Grey. Wish we had someone like that in the USA

How much Molly grease goes into CV housing, square service bolt on top, good job Allan...

Good job.. clearly understanding 👍
Very good vid but please get rid the bloody backing music, it's not a disco John
I couldn't agree more.
yeah, the music is shit
Enjoy the free info and quit bitching about music
Fuck yeah!!!
Love this guy. I want him to work on my car :)
watching all these videos i seem to learn a few good tips n tricks on how to repair my navara
Like a BOSS!
Hi, just wondering how much does it cost to replace cv joints both left and right sides? My 80 series is making a noise when turning left or right.
+OffroadFreak You can do it yourself at home, it's very easy but messy. I'm guessing a shop would charge about $600 labor in USD.
Mine just started to do the same thing. Do you remember how much it was to fix or if it was easy to fix your self?

Excellent mechanic
I rreally wanna have a beer with Allan
If I was to ever let a mechanic work on my vehicles, I'd hope he'd be as cool as this guy.
Is this the same CV as on a 2001 landcruiser gxl diesel wagon? (which are called 100-series, but inherits transmission from the 80-series, i read).
there are some variations but it's pretty much the same.
Wonder if those bierfields can be use in a 40 series?...
@desertoy All of the replacement gear was from Terrain Tamer
Please tell me what the problem is
al i know you know what your doing but wouldnt you do the swivel bearings and rear hub seals while your there?
beauanthonygriffin1 Only if it needs to be done, the trunions ("swivel bearings") only need to be done when they have play in it
And that is a pig of a job!
Cv. shaft/joint is sooo expensive in India. 😥
oh sorry to hear!
Please do a little more vibration as you say
haha, ok
haha "it even smells nice"
He didn't show how to remove the broken CV from the axle. That's the info I'm looking for right now lol
yeah, we usually just replace the entire unit...CV and axles, makes it much easier. But yes, there's a bit of a trick to separating them.
@@4WDTV hit it with a hammer isn't a real trick
What size lift is this 80 serious running?
I adjusted the staring box then left again
Nice video!
very helpful, cheers!
great video. The headbanging metal music is fairly distracting and makes it hard to concentrate. Like gravel coming through my ear holes!
agree mate, that's a video we did over ten years ago...so not what we do these days. Thank you.
how often do we service those nuckles nd bearings?
end of every trip thru water..
Good .
Spelling and body in more cups
how to remove oil pump, can any one tell me, if i have to pull the head off a 80 series Landcruiser, to get oil pump off, bcz it is leaking between block and pump
Tony san "texasknowhow" has a RUclips channel where he breaks it all down. Pretty easy fix after watching his video
Staring body vibration is high

Por qué no hacen en español y el pinche título en español
I thought the annoying rock music in the background of garage videos was an American thing.
Could be mate. I think this video is well over ten years old now but the information still holds.
@@4WDTV Dang right it does. This man has forgot more than I'll ever know about land cruisers. Thanks.
why dont you replace the cv.s with uni.s,way stronger,more turn.cv.s are 1850 rubbish.
Terrain Tamer is rubbish China made , OEM Toyota is the best
