Man you are a genius, spent 3 hrs trying to pry the axel out, both axels were the same and wouldn't move... 3 tries on both sides using your method and both popped out!!! Thanks man, that's an awesome tip!!!
Your welcome!
@@bundysgarage bad luck , it’s not worked for me 😟 trying to remove cv axle bracket last bolt I have to remove catalytic converter Iam trying again now your method Should work but I don’t know why it’s not working for me 😖😖😖
@@Sroor2023 didn't work for me either 😡
Same here 😂😂 I wish I watched this earlier
Could I heat the opening up to try and expand it ? And then pull it out that way
Bruised, bloody and absolutely OVER IT, I took one last swipe through youtube and stumbled upon this godsend of a video and was gifted a golden nugget of your expertise. My busted half shaft will be cleaned and used as a chalice with which I shall toast to your good health.
Exactly how I felt this man is a godsend
I’m currently feeling this pain with cuts and bruises
My knuckles hurt so much. If this doesn’t work tomorrow so help me god
Relatable
From this point when got it partially I would’ve jacked it and used a pry bar
Tired, broken, and frustrated? This video will save you. Thank you for posting this video. You are a good man.
Howd you cut off the boot i dont have any metal cutters but ill do whatever it takes including buying more tools to get this thing the hell out of my car. Have already ripped off the cv axle with an axle puller and have the half shaft stuck in there and can go buy vice grips
I just finished changing the cv axle on my 2018 drivers side Nisan Altima, you know, the one that's just supposed to just pop out. Well, it didn't pop out, it didn't pry out and I'm working on in my car port on the ground and was about to give up and take it to a shop last night when I saw your video. I cut a slit in the boot up against the cup of the inner bearing holder with just enough room to fit the head of vise grips. I was going to give it a couple of test tugs and on the first tug it popped out. My life is complete.
Glad it helped you out! I know that feeling of frustration and defeat and then when it pops out, oh boy, what a relief!!!! 😮💨
Sir you're a genius and I love you. I spent hours prying on it, hitting it with a hammer, I even hooked it up with a strap and come along. Nothing would work, but five minutes with your method and it popped out.
This trick is one of the best I've seen on youtube. Saved me a ton of headache and repair bills. Thanks a ton!!
Like others here took one last swipe through RUclips looking for a solution to this problem. Two pulls and it popped out, after spending an hour or more cursing at it. You saved me 70 bucks for a slide hammer kit. Thank you.

@@bobthebuilder9416 it’s been a minute since I did this job. Cut it with a knife unless you’re trying to save the boot for some reason. I am thinking you can pop the clamp holding the boot with a flat head screw driver. Otherwise I’d buy a pair of tin snips.
@@chadehresman6952 okay thank u so much ill try it later this week
I fought tooth an nail last weekend getting mine unstuck. Used the vice grip trick first try this morning and it popped right out. I almost didnt believe it happened. You're a genius sir, thank you for sharing your big brain tricks

You just made my night. I was about to throw in the towel and I found this as one last ditch effort and it worked within 30 seconds. Thank you so much my friend.
2003 Buick, passenger side came out easy-peasy as God intended. Driver's side inner cup stuck and subframe was in the way of much access. This 5 min video saved the day!! Popped right out on the 3rd slide.
Listen, it was Thanksgiving even and I decided to replace the axle since it came in two days early on my Mazda 3. It broke off. I looked at so many other videos then came across yours. It came out after 5 pulls. You’re a LEGEND and a life saver especially since everywhere is closed today. Thank you so much!!!!
Glad it helped you out! Happy Thanksgiving!
@keketv860 was it the driver side or passenger side 🤔. I have the same car and my passangers side is giveing me hell.😊
@@BTKKILLER1 I had this issue. Passenger side has a bracket with three bolts (14 or 15mm I think) that needs to be removed first. It’s halfway down the axle. It’s a bitch to get the top bolt (it’s in a triangle formation). You’ll need a swivel head and an extension.
Hours had past, I had tried everything and was in time crunch. Almost gave up . But like most of the people who found this video, I took one last look through RUclips. I was blessed to find this video and in two swipes it was out. Thank you for making this video. God bless
Glad I could help

Holy moly! Thank god I found your tip!! It worked. Spent hours trying to pry the stuck cv axle on my kids 2013 passat. After 15 seconds of using your tip, popped right out! I really appreciate the time you took to share this tip! Saved dollars and saved learning new cuss words!
I was about to go to rent the tool for it after spending two hours trying to take it off seen this video and only took me two hard pulls and came right off may god bless you my friend.
This man is a hero of diy
I don't ever comment but this saved my FREAKING LIFE. Nothing was working but this got that boy loose almost immediately!
Thx for the comment and I’m glad it helped you out! I know the frustration of trying to get one these out when it’s stuck and then the victory that washes over you when it pops out!!!

I hope you always sleep on a cold side of the pillow get every birthday wishes, love you ❤❤❤ I pray for you every night man
Brother it worked for me and I was feeling discouraged 😅 until I came across your RUclips channel saved my day 🙏 thanks
This is the solution!! After an hour of cramp space, twisting, turning, and banging with a hammer 😅, this was an easy set up and within a minute the stuck part came off easily. Thank you DIY god 😂😂🙏
This is the method that worked for me! Thank you for the video! Saved me so much time after already spending six hours trying to get it out
Same here - Thanks SO much... spent ages trying to do this, didn't have a slide hammer, spent ages prying and trying to get it out. Had to put it all back together that day. Saw your video that night and did it with your method the next day in 10 seconds. Life saver - praise be to RUclips!
Just did this on my 99 Honda CRV and it worked like a charm! Three pulls and it was out! Super helpful!!
Dude this is the single greatest most helpful mechanical video I have ever seen thank you so much
Your graphic for this video was like staring into a mirror! Thank you for posting this video. It was a brilliant solution. It does take some work, but it works.
So after 3 hours of blood and sweat, where I gave up not only my car but also my life, I found this video, you saved me, thank you, you don't know how much this helped me. May God give you happiness and love!!

Hey Bundy, seriously like Phil just said. So I have been working on pulling out my passenger side CVX out of our 2013 MDX and have been working on it for the past 3 hours (morelike 3.5 hours) and nothing... would work to get these thing out. The half shaft got stuck, and I used pryer bars, and nothing... I just discovered your video and removed the grease, put the bearings back on the end of the shaft and put it back inside the half shaft, clamped down with my Milwaukee Torque Lock Curved Jaw Locking Pliers and pulled and guess what? it came out on the FIRST pull!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude, you rock..... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Found this video and man o man would I love to shake your hand! I was on the struggle bus with getting my CV axle out on my 05 Accord. Gave this a shot and it worked like a charm! Really appreciate this video
I spent most of my day trying to get one out. I decided to search for another way on youtube. First method did not work. Second method involved me having to go buy a slide hammer.
Then I found this video. 3 yanks and it came right out.
Thanks a bunch for the tip!
Glad you got it out!!! I know the feeling of frustration and wanting to get on with your day and fix your car.

The boot is rubber. I cut mine with a box cutter and a fresh blade
@@virider7466 great thanks
Man what a lifesaver. I was stuck with no place to go. On a 2002 Dodge Caravan that inner CV joint is recessed up in there where you can’t even use one of those special tools however your method works like a champ. I can’t say thank you enough I really appreciate it
My dad was struggling with the broken cv joint on his 2001 Toyota Corrola for about an hour.I found this video for him.He ran and got his vice grips.He got it out in 30 seconds.Thanks for sharing.
Thank god i found this video! When all else failed, this ended up working within 5min
I know your pain.
Ok. I'm another happy amature mechanic. I tried for hours. Prying, banging, rotating the stuck piece (like one of my favorite youtube honda mechanics suggested). Nothing. I tried this first with grease still on the part and the plyers fell off. Then I made a "clean" spot, repositioned the vice grips and "hammered" it this way about 12 times then pow! It fell right out! Only took about 15 minutes. Thank you! Now I can complete this "realitively easy" job! 👍
Glad it helped you out!

@@bobthebuilder9416I think the rubber boot came off when the axel seperated because I had a broken lower ball joint. If I needed to I think I would have cut the rubber boot (with tin snips, scissors, etc) which for me was ok because I was installing a new axel assembly.
This was a life saver for me, I had tried to remove my cv axles for many hours and nothing worked, then I tried that and it worked instantly
Hi. Your method worked great on my 2002 Taurus cv axle. I could not get any leverage / clearance to pry the socket out and then I remembered this video. One good pull on the shaft and - out it popped. Brilliant! For those viewers having trouble with this method, I suggest trying to rotate the spindle inside the socket ( may have to put the ignition in ON position and use the tire on the other side to allow the rotation.) This changes the position of the securing ring at the spline’s end. I did not have this problem but I read that other commenters did. These types of RUclips auto repair tips and techniques are invaluable for us DIY guys. Thanks.
Glad it helped you out!
Brother, I cannot begin to thank you enough for this ingenious idea. I was truly defeated upon finding this video which gave me the hope to try one last time. It took a good 15 pulls but that SOB finally gave. Free 99 FTW
Brother. Wow. You are a TOTAL and COMPLETE genius. Like Phil Brown below, I spent the better part of 3-4 hours trying to get that remaining piece out of the transmission after it decided to stay behind and just let go of the rest. I was trying to come up with anything I could think of, but the Hulk inside me would not abide! Thrown tools, a 30ml bottle vaped in that three to four hours, and a screw-it attitude ALMOST got me...YOUR VIDEO WAS AWESOME AND YOU SAVED ME SOME REPAIR COSTS ON STUFF THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE TIME! Thank You, Man!
Glad it worked out for you!
Glad I looked this up instead of spending a few hours trying to pry it out. Definitely saved me a lot of time and frustration.
I have to say, this worked like a charm on a Chrysler Sebring I’ve been working on for a co-worker! I’m so glad I watched this vid! The problem was caused by a ball joint on the LCA pulling the CV out, and it’s been some other problems. I pulled like 3 times and got that end out. This was magic! MA-JIC!!!!
Hell Yeah!!!!
You saved my bacon on my 09 Scion. I absolutely tryed every tool..all failed to remove the stuck axle shaft. This method worked the first try. Thanks for posting this video! 👍👍
I cannot thank you enough. I spent forever on the drivers side and finally got it. Then the passenger side did the same thing and thankfully I came across this video and it saved me so much time
Thanks bro I was ready to put a match to it, you know how it is when you bust a couple cold fingers trying to pry something out. My car thanks you, my neighbors thank you and I thank you, did it just like you did and it popped out on the first try thanks again man I'll be looking for your how to O's when I run up on another mess, this is the most helpful video I've ever watched. Don't mean this in a bad way but I thought I was the only one this stuff happened to lol. Have a good one man, thanks again
Bro. You. Are. A. Lifesaver! I've been struggling for an hour half on this. After about 5 minutes of this, I got it out.
I feel your pain! Glad you got it out.
Was just fighting my 2005 pilot for two hours, was bout to give up and seen this and it came out in a matter of minutes. Great video !!!!
Feels good once it finally “pops” out! Hell Yeah!
THANK YOUUUUU‼️‼️‼️‼️ it freaking worked the second I did it. May the lord bless you!!!
Thanks it really helped my hands are sliced everywhere then I saw this god sent this really works
This helped me tremendously. This was my first go around ever cause I am not mechanic but I was able to use this technique!
Glad it help you out.
Blood sweat no tears been here 2 hours trying thank god you posted this video got it done in 5 smacks god bless u man
If I could give more than 1 like I would. This project started with me replacing the knuckles and led me to replacing an axle. This helped immensely
Glad it helped you out!

@bobthebuilder9416 I don't remember that well, but I think i just used some pliers but in a pinch, you could maybe pry the metal ring off with a flat head. I think I remember taking a knife to the rubber boot
@@Srhuevos i found some screws ons on Amazon thank u
My husband couldn’t get this shft thing out for a whole day i watched ur video and not even 20sec he got it!!!! Thank you soooo much!!
Wow, I fought my broken cv, then I saw your video. Popped out the cv on the second pull. What a life saver, thank you!
THANK YOU! I HAVE BEEN STUCK ON GETTING THIS BLASTED THING OUT FOR 3 DAYS
THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST RESULT
Took me 3 hours to pry the crap out of the passenger side and told myself theirs gotta be a better way. I watched your video and man it saved me more time from getting all those bruises from tight spaces when I did this method to do the driver side.
Thank you very much sir !
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was literally the only trick that helped my friend and I get his passenger side axle off his accord 🙏🏻🍻
This works guys!! I was struggling for 3 days trying to get my cv axle out of the transmission, tried this and it popped right out on the second pull. Thanks so much my man
Thank you! This just saved me soooo much extra struggling and effort. Just wish I looked it up 45 minutes sooner. Haha.
You saved my life. I spent 3 days to remove that shit from my odyssey and your technique was successful on second pull. Amazing!!
I know your pain bro!
Most valuable video on RUclips. I was spent and all out of ideas then one final search before tow trick call and this video was heaven sent. Much thanks!😎
I know your pain!
Thank you so much, I finally got my passenger side axel out with your solution. I tried prybars, slide hammer, cv axle popper forks and nothing would budge it. It took me about 45 minutes today to get it out this way. Anyone still having problems doing it this way, what worked for me was pull it like 3 or 4 times, rotate the cup like an inch and pull it like 3 or 4 times and repeat, on the 3rd turn I got it out on like the 3rd pull and I wasn't pulling very hard because I didn't think it was going to work. All in I probably spent 12 hours trying to pull this damn thing out and I got it out in under an hour with this trick. Thanks so much.
Have to say that this came in handy for me. Could not get a CV axle puller on my Nissan Altima 2012 SR model. A little PB Blaster then used your vise grip method and SUCCESS!! Thanks for posting.
Was going to comment how much of a life saver this video was but it looks like everyone did that already. Thanks for the tip!
Another comment won’t hurt, plus it shows the YT gods that this is a good video and it will recommend it to more people.
Just wanted to say thanks. I was getting ready to weld a makeshift slide hammer and came across your vid. Worked like a charm and hats off to you good sir!
actual 200 iq move. I have a tribute with a "seized" driver cv axel. been pounding for 2 days with no room to work (no lift). came inside after hitting the 10th brick wall to watch ur video and 5 minutes later she was off.
thanks alot buddy have a great day
Glad you got it off. Can’t believe how stuck some of those can be! Makes you want to rip out your hair.
Hey bud you are a genius ain't nothing like the old school way. I spent hours trying to pull mines out. Then when I saw your video I remembered that's how my grandfather usually get broken axle out. Free 99 baby love you man keep making more videos like this.
Glad it helped you out!
Wow, this method was a life saver. Spent a couple hours trying to pry and wiggle it out until I gave up. Then I stumbled upon your video and gave this a try and it came out after a couple of minutes. Thanks so much for sharing!
I was fighting a cv axle for an hour and could not get it to move, love taps, pry bars etc. just wrestling the thing. I grabbed an old pair of vice grips tore the boot open and gave this a try and I think it was only three slides and it came right out, smooth like butter. So grateful for this solution and the price was right :D
Glad it helped you out!
Me and the boys fought with a cv axle for my lancer for about 4ish hours and I opened up RUclips and had it off within 5 minutes after watchin your video, great job bro 🤝
Hours a cold garage floor, cant get the door shut, snow pouring in, no heat, beating the snot out of the thing trying to get it loose and your tip got it out in 3-4 whacks. I am amazed and humbled.
Thank you!
At least it wasnt 100 degrees like it is here in florida today 😂...i was defeated and now I have a glimmer of hope and a dream.
Did it work for you?
This trick worked like a charm after much fighting and prying ..
definitely works using old axle as a slide hammer !!!!Thank you ..I set it up with the old axle and vise grips and after some failed attempts (guess I'm not strong enough)I grabbed my daughters bf and had him do it and it came right out !!
@MelissaGabbert glad it helped you out!
It came out so quickly using this method. One tug. So little at and not much leverage with up on jack stands. I even pushed with my leg. Several hours wasted until i found this video. Thanks Bundy!
Glad it helped you out!
You’re the man!!! I was so frustrated with the CV on the passenger side of my 07 accord v6. I spent 5 minutes banging on it with your method and out she came. Lubed the new one and slit it right on. Before I tried your trick, I spent a hour trying to pry it but could not get any kind of pry tool in there. Thanks again man!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my God you want to see a grown man cry? sitting there with your entire suspension disassembled a car on jack stands on a Saturday afternoon and you have to replace the CV axle and it will not come out!!!!!!!!!! you will see a grown man cry because I was practically in tears because I did not know how to solve this problem and your trick worked on the first pull so thank you this is by far the most useful RUclips video I've ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 6hrs trying busting knuckles and everything next morning took 45 mins including breaks thank you sooo much life saver
Bundy, this is ingenious. I can’t believe it didn’t work for you. I was a little downcast after I watched your video and your shaft did not come out. I tried it anyway, and my shaft popped on the second pull. I can’t thank you enough! (Yes, I said my shaft popped on the second pull…:)-
This actually worked on our Honda Odyssey 2002. It was stuck at the last part of the old axle and we almost gave up. Found this video and it came out in 2 tries!
Wow!! I literally went on RUclips to figure out what fancy tool I needed to order and this video absolutely saved me! I only had to tug five times and it was out!
2 days to figure this out. Pry bar hammer and anything else possible. My fiance had enough. I found this video and it worked if 4 pulls. How amazing is that!!! All the comments are true 😊
my friend being struggling doing this and i started to searching on youtube and find your video 🤣 u are lifesaving
Man, I did this and it worked on the 3rd pull! Your a lifesaver. Learned a awesome trick today
First try using this method after hammering for 2 hours and it worked beautifully 🙌🏽 thanks man
You Sir are a blessing from god 😂 been working on this CV for 2 hours and this worked in 45 seconds! Thank you!
Thank you this was perfect, no need for fancy tools! Saved my ass from sending to a shop. Now i have the confidence to fix the other axle! Bravo sir!
This incredibly simple solution (which I *would not* have been able to come up with) saved my bacon yesterday. Thank you very much.
Thank you Sir for this really helpful tip. Was super satisfying when this simple method did the job on my brothers car that had absolutely NO space to even put a prying bar tool or even a flat head screwdriver. Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Because of your video I was able to get my CV axle off on the side of the road I already had my spare in the car and I was going nowhere but because of you in this video and the mind God gave you I was able to fix my problem
Dude….this video SAVED MY SANITY today! Thank you!
Glad it helped you out!
Worked excellently. Thank you. I almost threw my old axle away.
YOU ARE THE BEST . THANKYOU BUNDY GARAGE ! . I PASS A HOLE DAY TRING TO REMOVE PRYING OUT AND EXPEND MONEY ON TOLLS THAT DONT DO SHI3T . 5 MINUTES , 5 FOK1NG MINUTES LIKE THAT AND THE PART WAS OUT . GENIUS YOU ARE THE MEN
Improvement on your method: Part of the problem in getting these things off is the offset force applied by either a prybar or your method. Try putting a visegrip on each bearing (three visegrips), equalizing the load on the axle.
Good point.
Or take the visegrip and and undo it and move it around so all the sides get the same amout of force
I don't go to church anymore, but this time I'm gonna say thank you Lord. Almost all day going back and forth to Advance auto and their ineffective methods. Two pulls and it's out. Thank you sir for downloading this video.
You are welcome my Son!
Oh man THANK YOU. I've been fighting with this exact issue for about a day and a half with a 2015 Honda Civic EX and this actually solved the problem. Really appreciate the video man. Saved my day.
This trick worked beautifully 100%. Thank you so much, you made my life so much easier with this little hack. Definitely gonna keep looking at your videos.
Nice tip Mr. Bundy. I had a hell of a time getting mine out of the drivers side Honda Accord. I still have the old axle so now I’m glad I kept it to use if I have trouble in the future. Artie 😊
Life saver! spent hours tryna pry out the axle til i came across this method. thanks!
After about an hour trying to get the shaft out I found this video. Came out first pull. Thanks for posting this. You saved what little hair I have left!
Dude. Worked for 35 minutes trying on my ford edge. You tubed this a it took one yank lol
Awesome
Legend! A bit messy but better than a headache. Had it out in 2 minutes 😎👍
Dude, you just saved me as you did so with many many others, thank you
You Sir Just Saved Me 100 Bucks Renting The Stupid Tool! Worked 2nd Pull 🖤
Great idea, I was struggling to remove the half shaft but your solution worked perfectly, many thanks for posting.
It can be a real pain the butt!
Thanks! Im stuck at this stahe too and will try this trixk next. For others trying this, I think you might want to rotate it more as you try to hopefully get the circlip in the right position to get it out
I was routing for you I had the same problem. Came in and watched your video went out and it worked right away. Thanks for your help
