Thanks for the thorough video. By far the best video on removing the axle on these Toyotas. My RX350 I discovered has grease all over inside my rim. Got the kit today from the Lexus dealer $70.00 out the door.
Excellent instructions, thank you. The seal in your video leaked on my 2011 XLE AWD and I had to change it. I used NOS 20067 from NAPA and it worked perfectly for the driver side. Thanks again.
my friend good video but you put the 2 bolts that hold the Knuckle to the strut from back to front and the correct way to put them is from front to back
Thanks again. Managed to do the cv axle on Sunday. Your video was a big help. It wasn’t too difficult but, you definitely make it look much easier lol.
Hey, on Toyotas, if the axle isn't banging or bonking around, and seems to still be okay despite the boot being torn, most of the time the mechanics just re-boot and re-grease them. Sometimes putting an aftermarket CV can open an entire other can of worms the owner wasn't expecting. There's a reason Toyota axles cost a few hundred dollars apiece.
2016 Sienna All Wheel Drive driver side axle was replaced. Question… is the fluid that came out when I removed the axle from the transmission? If so, to replace the fluid that was lost is it through the transmission fill plug? Thanks
How far does the shaft needs to go in? I could not see well in the video. I installed mine and I see a little gap between shaft and transmission. I can actually see the seal. Also if I grab the shaft by the square part close to the transmission, it moves a little bit back and forth. Is this normal? Thanks
at the moment of inserting it in the tranny you can feel and hear the it stops and it cant go inside any more, that is when it is all the way inside, yes you can see the seal, yes you can move it very little and also a little gap is normal
95% of the time you don't need wheel alignment If the replacement axle is close but not precisely made to the correct specifications, the axles' misalignment can be even more compounded. Also, some manufacturers like Honda have a centering procedure that involves loosening the motor mounts and installing the axles. not really on this sienna and on most of the vehicles
Hi, I have a 2006 Toyota van , I felt the steering wheel is shaking a bit when accelerating above 50 miles , and outer edge of both tires are worn out badly , so could this is a sign of fail cv axels or something else ? Thanks in advance
Thanks for sharing, number of bad components cause this issue, most of the time bad after market cv axles(only cv axles from toyota will fix it, very expensive) also unbalance tires, ujoints in the steering colunm, bad rims, bad steering rack, inner or outer tie rods, wrong size tires.
most of the time you have to do aligment after replacing suspension parts, but if the vehicule pulls straight ahead and not to any side when driving then there is no need for aligment, also to do aligment other parts of the suspension need to be in good condition. thanks for visiting my channel I really appreciate it.
Great video I’m working on my daughters 09 Lexus is250 AWD her differential went out do you know what are torque specs on that differential There are four bolts on drive shaft, two 19mm bolts on bottom of the differential And three hex bolts on neck of the differential? 2nd question should I apply some grease on differential seals where cv axles goes Thanks
propeller shaft assembly x front flange 58 ft- lbf. propeller shaft assembly x rear diffrential companion flange 58 ft-lbf. center support bearing assembly no.1 x boby36 ft-lbf. you should lubricate the seals with oil. and thanks for visiting my channel. I really appreciate it.
@@mikimiki195 The Propeller shaft connects to the Universal joint flange by 4 bolts, These bolts are tightened to 58 ft lbs. thanks for visiting my channel.
in this case you only do the affected side, for some other components it is nesessary to replace both sides but not on cv axles. you dont really need an aligment epecially if you dont remove tie rods but if you remove other suspension componentes then it would be good idea to check if you need wheel aligment.
Bought me cardone they said for my yr and drivetrain went to put in today they dont mach up mind you i purchased them 3 yrs ago didnt need them but now i do rock auto has same with same part number how if they dont match driver sode is about 4 inches to short i somewhat measured passenger side got an estimate of 50 inches long cardone one is like 40 or a little over.. i cannot put them on itll be a disaster
@JMAutoRepairnum1 idk how says it's right I got them 3 yrs ago now stuck with them unless I call them and try and see if can take back but doubt it and how wrong if rock auto says it's same part number as the ones I have im so upset and confused what to do now I put it back in since it's wrong I have a squealing noise when drive it stops when I brake .... any idea ?

Wow full process AND showing part numbers. Nice job!
thank you I appreciate it.
thanks for talking me through this...I will be replacing the axles and seals on a 2006, both sides.
Glad I could help and thanks for sharing.
Did you buy this same seal for your 2006 ? I have a 2004 sienna you think it will work or it’s different ? I think it’s different
Thank you sir, you helped me a lot.
I had problems taking out the axle, but I used a cv joint puller and a slice hammer and it came out easily
Glad it helped and thanks for the time on the channel.
Thanks for sharing, amigo. The passenger side is harder because the axle is longer with more sections.
thanks for sharing, yes a little bit harder, i also have a video on how to remove it n installing it on the passenger side on this same sienna.
Good educational video. Thanks for taking to the time to share your knowledge.
thank you I appreciate it.

good job on the replacement, very informative. Thanks
You're welcome! and thanks for watching.

You are welcome 😊
Thanks Buddy! Helped a lot! 🙂
Glad it helped! thanks
my friend good video but you put the 2 bolts that hold the Knuckle to the strut from back to front and the correct way to put them is from front to back
fortunately they can go either ways, appreciate you sharing.
This was very helpful sir, much appreciated.
Glad it helped and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing the part number on the seal. What did you put on the seal before putting it in? Grease or ATF to lube it???
hi, thanks for watching, ATF on the seal so it goes inside smoothly.

Yes by the refill plug but in this case you also have to open the overflow plug to make sure the fluid is at the right level
@@JM-AUTO so…it is automatic fluid, correct?
@Vet-zj5lq yes it is

I watched a video that said you have to do an alignment after replacing the front struts on a 2004 sienna awd. Is that true?

Which way does it go back in?
do i need wheel alignment after doing this? and is it ok to only change 1 side of axle or both sides are needed to be replaced?

Where did you get the seal from, I have a 2006 sienna xle front wheel drive, and I need the CV axle seal, and can't find one anywhere

Do I have to buy sealed separately?

Did you have a leak on the axle shaft seal?
yes very little that is why I replaced it and thanks for the visit.
I’m meaning did you have a leak after you swapped it with the new seal?
Did the new seal leak? I was always taught that’s you’re suppose to tap the new seal all the way in….
@@gabewalker7604 no it did not leak at all after replacing it. all was good, yes always look how the old one is so you can installe it the same way but it has at limit up to where it is supposed to stay.

How much should I charge for a job like this? I have done bit have no idea of prices!!
about $100 or $150

Thats easy, try the passenger side!

Do you need to add transmission oil, since the seal was leaking?
yes you should add it if it leaks and check it it even if it doesn't leak, in this case I had just done the tranny fluid change on this sienna only like a month ago.
