Looking on forums was able to find the specs to tighten down the bolts and the cv axle nut: CV axle nut torque is 152-202 ft/lbs 6 bolts torque specs 30-35 ft/lbs.
It's nice that you listed the torque specs, but it makes you look like a hypocrite when you hammer away with a 1000-ft-lb impact wrench instead of an torque wrench.
Yeah if your able to get it then go for it. The thing I noticed when using the long extension though is that the axle rotates so when putting the bolts back on it moves. The extension helped from the axle turning cause it it the side of the frame
@@TerryLewis-r2m ruclips.net/video/OUed_IUJ46c/видео.htmlsi=EyalG5_Le8G4wUC2 I honestly wouldn't know if it's exactly the same but I know the concept is. There is the video of you need to have a reference to go off of
Great video. I am wondering if there are 2 types of CV axle for the 2005 G35x. One type looks like what you have in the video. The other is longer and both ends have splines. Is this correct? And you have the option to use either type? Please help. I am confused. Because I just bought one and it does not look like what you have in the video. it's the one where both ends have splines.
@@GIOVANNITH3G35FAN Thank you for your reply. Yes it is. I already removed 5 bolts, but the sixth one I havent been able to remove because the head has become stripped. If what I stated above is correct, then I don't reallly need to remove that last bolt, but take out the the whole assembly. And many sites state that axle where both ends have splines would fit my car. Some other sites would indicate that the one that looks like what you have would fit. So I'm really confused.
@imfine-ok1536 if the bolt pattern is like how mine is in the video with 6 bolts then more then likely it's gonna be the same as what I have. Honestly the best thing to do is try to remove the whole axle to make sure it's the right axle. I was confused when I saw that too and was confused cause I was like how does the axle work if one side has a spline and the other side is flat. But it made sense after I removed the axle being that the bolts is was makes the axle move
@@GIOVANNITH3G35FAN HI Its me again. I think the type of CV axle you used in the in the video is one of the 2 options that you can use to change your CV axle. For the type that you used on your car, the other part ( the shaft with splines is lelft inside the differential housing, don't know what they call them ). For the other kind, the entire cv axle assembly is removed as a whole unit. No old part is left in the car. I just removed the other section of the cv axle assembly. I told you that I could not remove one of the 6 bolts. I wasted a lot of time and money buying tools to try the remove that last bolt. To remove the axle, all I needed to do was removing 3 bolts that hold it in place. No need to deal with those 6 bolts. Just sharing what I did in case you or someone else might have to change 2005 G35 AWD or some other G35 models. But I could be wrong though. .
Those 3 bolts your talking about are they located after the 6 bolts? I'm trying to figure out where the 3 bolts your talking about are. I rewatched the video and noticed bolts after the 6 bolts but even then if you removed that whole piece would the new CV axle have a new part to mount the 3 bolts your talking about
@@GIOVANNITH3G35FAN Thanks for the reply. Im looking to change mine soon, as i replaced the struts the cv boot tore, now i have grease splattering. Lucky me...

Yeah I actually use that to get the bolt on and after that I use my torque wrench to torque it down
Very good video especially since there isn't one out there this specific. Great job💪🏼👏🏼😎
Appreciate it man and yeah hopefully this video helps out other G owner's and gives them the confidence to do it there self
Fam checking in 💪
Not even a minute and you already checking in
@@GIOVANNITH3G35FANnotofication squad. Awesome work btw. Now youre a certifide youtube mechanic 😂
Lol idk about that but it's nice to work on your own car and learn about it
@@GIOVANNITH3G35FAN 100%
Plus save money as well
Would it be easier to go under it with a right angle? I feel like that long extension has a chance of slipping and stripping those bolts

Looking for you passengers front cv axle video … I have a 08 g35x is it the same method ?

Nice ! Its the same way for the m37X
Lets goo! Whens the turbo coming
Little by little got to take care of the maintenance first lol but turbo is what this G needs
How are those cv axles holding up? Also, are you pleased with that brand?
@@velox731 there holding up still haven't had any complains and for the price I think it's worth it
@@GIOVANNITH3G35FAN Thanks for the reply. Im looking to change mine soon, as i replaced the struts the cv boot tore, now i have grease splattering. Lucky me...
Hopefully this video helps out a bit I know it's not perfect but I did it as a guide line to go off of.
@@GIOVANNITH3G35FAN Yes, very helpful. I appreciate the video. I will order the parts soon. Thanks again!
would you need an alignment after this job?
I would recommend it being that your moving around the control arms and messing with the suspension
could not get my axle out for the life of me
Trust me it's not a easy job I had a hell of a time messing with it
