The video does show very well how impact drivers make light work removing nuts and bolts. Thanks, good video and as already said, you made it look easy.
I do like how you approach your repairs, you show professionalism in what you do. Good on you for de-staking the nut first before you gunned the nut off. Our RAV was still on warranty when the dealer did the rear main and damaged the threads on the LH shaft. Would not have been bad if they didn't try to hide it on me and deny there was an issue.
Hello , great video my corolla is 2018 with pretty much the same diagnostic, how much money was everything after it got done? Thank and keep the great videos u earned a subscriber .😁
I've watched this vid a few times prepping to do mine and I'm stumped to see my part is totally different than anywhere I look (autozone, ebay, amazon, o'reilly) but yours looks just like mine. can I ask where u got it?
@@HomebrewSubaru Thanks. My local Toyota had it for $550 but they told me I could order from other dealerships if it was cheaper. One in VA had it for $383 after taxes so I jumped on it. Finally got it replaced and it solved the issue. I appreciate your video, wouldn’t have gotten it fixed without this.
Please do you need to remove the battery terminal before you remove the cv shaft. And also does the car have to be off for some time before replacement?
You might have some trans fluid spill. If you have the one side of the car jacked up, the fluid should move to the other side and not be an issue but put a pan anyway
2 years later. I finally changed the cv axle and followed your instructions. Everything went well except the part where I had to pull it out of the transmission. I tried and tried till my neighbors brought his ball joint separator and it came out without any effort.
You may loose a tiny bit of fluid. The higher you can jack up the car on the side you are working on, the less fluid will be lost. You can also catch the fluid in a clean pan and add it back in.
@HomebrewSubaru that's where I went wrong lol i raised both sides and replaced both axles. I figured I lost just under 3/4 of a quart. Does that sound about right??
Mine had 1 17mm bolt underneath while the other two nuts were 19mm. Everything about my car that I got from a used car lot has been different sizes throughout all toyota videos lol
@@HomebrewSubaru yea my whole right side front has different parts. So I managed to change the passenger side cv axle but it was a nightmare. At first it was fine, tire off, axle nut came off with my new earthquake power tool from Harbor Freights, then when I go to take off the lower three nuts and bolts, fire ants decided to move in on me, only one bolt was 17 and it started to rain. So I went to home depot and got a 19mm for those nuts. Also my power tool was too long to fit under the tire to change those bolts but I just used a breaker bar. Finally I go to remove the cv axle and it won't move even after hitting it. I put the screw back on and for the next hour I kept hitting it till it slowly and finally came off. I even used that spray for those nuts that are hard to come off. I also tried to pry bar the other side but slipped and opened up the grease from the axle boot. And so for the whole process I was fighting fire ants, grease and the storm. The new cv axle matched the length of the old but didn't have a middle knuckle. It also wouldn't go all the way in till I was able to find some support and heave it in. By the way about half a quart of transmission fluid came out. That's a lot. So yea that was fun...
Wheel bearings usually make more of a humming noise on the highway. I have heard them click or tick before but not as common as these CV axles are on Corolla's. I've done a few now.
It might dribble out a little fluid. Best to check the fluid level if it hasn't been checked. Make sure the car is back off of the jack stand to get a proper reading
First of all, you are good-looking guy, second you know what you are doing, third, you tougth me a lot, forth, thank you
Thanks!
I’m gonna replace axle left side and I’m gonna keep this video in mind for study the procces,,, thanks a lot
Appreciate the comment!
Thanks for the video, did my cv shaft and a oil change in 2 hours

Excellent video my dude
Always bringing that banger content
Appreciate it!
Great video, easy step by step
Glad it was helpful.
Great video. Spoken clearly. Good info. Thank you
You made it look easy. Thanks for sharing.
Big fan. Thank you very much🎉
This video is very helpful. Thank you sir.
Great video, is it the same setup for a 2016 toyota corolla?
Yes it's the exact same for 2016
@@HomebrewSubaru , Great. Thank you very much.
Awesome video!
Thanks for all the tips!
Hello , great video my corolla is 2018 with pretty much the same diagnostic, how much money was everything after it got done? Thank and keep the great videos u earned a subscriber .😁
It was close to $200 or so for aftermarket parts. Thanks 👍
Great video, one of the best I've seen!
My 2017 Corolla LE is making noise when making sharp right turn. Did it fix the problem? Great video and thanks for sharing.
Yes nice and quiet
I've watched this vid a few times prepping to do mine and I'm stumped to see my part is totally different than anywhere I look (autozone, ebay, amazon, o'reilly) but yours looks just like mine. can I ask where u got it?
At the time I was having a problem finding one in the aftermarket. This one was from Toyota
@@HomebrewSubaru Thanks. My local Toyota had it for $550 but they told me I could order from other dealerships if it was cheaper. One in VA had it for $383 after taxes so I jumped on it.

Would there be a difference between disconnecting the ball joint and disconnecting the knuckle from the struts? Which would be more advisable to do?
The CV will not disengage the knuckle if disconnecting from the strut only. The ball joint must be undone.
@@HomebrewSubaru Thanks
Great video i Need replace two Axel in my Toyota corolla 2017
Same 😅 2016
Hey thanks for the video. What about the oil, do I have to put back the oil in my cvt transmission. Thanks for your reply
If you Jack the one side of the car up you won’t lose much at all. Top up as needed
Do we need any programming to the car before replacing this?
Not at all
Amazing stuff , helped me alot , thanks
Do you need to refill any fluid after this replacement?
If you jack the car up on the side you are working, you won't lose a drop
Please do you need to remove the battery terminal before you remove the cv shaft. And also does the car have to be off for some time before replacement?
Battery can stay connected. It may drip a tiny bit of transmission fluid. Place a pan underneath. Replacement can begin as soon as car is shut off.
Thanks for the video. Would it be the same for the other side/passenger side for the same car?
It will be almost the same job yes
@@HomebrewSubaru
Any gear oil spill out that I should be concerned about?
You might have some trans fluid spill. If you have the one side of the car jacked up, the fluid should move to the other side and not be an issue but put a pan anyway
@@HomebrewSubaru
Makes sense! Thanks again you’ve been very helpful🤜🏻🤛🏻
2 years later. I finally changed the cv axle and followed your instructions. Everything went well except the part where I had to pull it out of the transmission. I tried and tried till my neighbors brought his ball joint separator and it came out without any effort.
For an automatic should, I have the car in park or in neutral?
Either is fine but easier to work with
Do you need an alignment after replacing the cv axle?
It should be fine as long as the strut bolts are not loosened.
Do you need to replace any fluid when complete?
You may loose a tiny bit of fluid. The higher you can jack up the car on the side you are working on, the less fluid will be lost. You can also catch the fluid in a clean pan and add it back in.
@@HomebrewSubaruwhat fluid is it. My wife’s car has been leaking for awhile now.
You need a high grade synthetic transmission fluid with Toyota CTVF rating.
Will you have to change the gear box oil after you change the shaft ?
You might lose a little bit if the car isn't jacked up very high. You do not need to change the oil
Made it look too easy 👍👍
Hi I'm curious how much fluid did you end up losing and refilling into the transmission??
If you have one side of the car raised not much fluid is lost. A minor top up might be needed.
@HomebrewSubaru that's where I went wrong lol i raised both sides and replaced both axles.
I figured I lost just under 3/4 of a quart. Does that sound about right??
@@jmc1186 it’s difficult to say. I would try a half quart if you think you lost that much
The car have to be on parking gear or in neutral?
Better to have in neutral
Thank you very much.
I'm having noise in both sides, will try myself, thanks.
Hey is there any way you can provide the links to the parts you bought ?
Part came from Toyota dealership
🔥 🔥
The Corolla 2013 same way passengers side? Thanks for the Help. Ray
from where you buy this???
I think the first time it came from Toyota. The second time was Napa
@@HomebrewSubaru thank you sir for reply

Likely the ball joint was replaced in the aftermarket. It’s common to see different sizing with hardware.

My problem was the wheel bearing
Wheel bearings usually make more of a humming noise on the highway. I have heard them click or tick before but not as common as these CV axles are on Corolla's. I've done a few now.
👍🌹❤️👍
Me 2 & while accelerating 😑😑!
Thank you so much, do I need to add transmission fluid after replacing the passenger side axle
It might dribble out a little fluid. Best to check the fluid level if it hasn't been checked. Make sure the car is back off of the jack stand to get a proper reading
