Do you mean my truck, or his truck? Mine is a 2013. But keep in mind, this guide will be similar for a lot of F150's. The only differences may be bolt sizes and possibly torque specs.
I enjoyed the video, I just recently did mine and it was a pain in the ass to get out that axel shaft. Love your video though cause it's real and shows all the little things that can upon removal with a vehicle with some age to it.
Yea man I try not to edit out too much so people can see some of the issues they may run into. I'm glad you found it helpful and I'm also glad you got it done. 🤟
Most thorough and well described RUclips car or truck repair video. I was just happy you included the sizes of nuts and bolts, but then to offer part numbers as well? What's wrong with you? lol
I actually didn't have any symptoms. I had to replace the deiver side IWE and decided that since I was already in there, I would replace the axles and bearings as well on both sides.
Nope, good catch! I know I applied it on the passenger side, but I completely forgot on this side. Thanks for pointing that out as I didn't even realize I forgot!
What year truck? Same process for 2019 XL 4X4 V8, passenger side? I over torqued the axle nut and broke the bolt while changing hub so now have to replace CV axle😖
This is for a 2013 F150. The process will be very similar to a 2019, however bolt sizes and torque specs may be slightly different. Refer to a Haynes manual or a service manual if need me. If all else fails, call your local Ford Dealer and ask them for the torque specs. They should be able to provide that information. Let me know how it goes! 🤟
Yea someone mentioned that like a week ago and I couldn't believe I forgot. I did it on the passenger side, but for some reason forgot on the driver side. Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull it back out soon because I don't want it to get seized up down the road.
Nope. If it isn't leaking, it's not really necessary. I also only have 110k miles on my truck. If I had over 200k, then I would consider it. Thanks for watching! 🤟
My cv axle is solid and in as far as I can push but it’s not flush with the seal. Is this normal? I’ve been trying to push it further but it won’t move closer. There’s no play with the cv axle.
I'm doing this now. My axle doesn't want to come out. Guess I just have to keep pulling on it. I should have replaced the axles when I removed my shocks, when I was upgrading them. :( I would have had more space.
The driver side is such a pain man, just keep working it. Eventually it will pop loose. If you have a rubber mallet, or something you can hit it with, that can help break loose the rust that's binding it. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Front tie rod end bolt spins, had to hold 21 mm nut with crescent wrench AND bolt end w 10mm socket. Doesn't seem like it's supposed to happen. Is the tie rod end messed up? How will it hold down the end if both nut and bolt can spin?
How close to the diff should the cv axle sit? The old axle was shaped differently than the new one. I have seated the cv axle as far as i can go. And it is pretty close to the diff. But it just seems like it could go a little further.
That's a hard thing to judge. A lot of mechanics can get by because they have worked on cars for a long time and kind of know how much 30 foot pounds feels, compared to 50 foot pounds. I would strongly advise you get a torque wrench though. It takes the guess work out of it.
Just did my wheel bearings, still have a hum or vibration when turning left......is this usually the issue? 2017 F150 5.0 4x4 with 176k on it Thanks for the video btw
So there tends to be intermittent noises (sometimes it's a humming noise, sometimes a grinding noise). The best way to tell if it is the IWE's, is once you hear the noise, put your truck into 4WD. If the noise goes away, then it could be an IWE issue. If the noise stays, it is something else. IWE's are kind of a pain to replace, and known to fail on Ford Trucks, as well as the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. They seem to go up every 75k to 100k miles.

Just replaced both cv axels on my F150 and used your videos as a guide. Went very smooth. Thank you!
Thata great to hear man, I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🤟

@@TrickShiftGarage Either, Im just trying to find out if its the same process for my 2019 F150,Thanks!
Gotcha.
Thank you very much for taking the time and teaching me how to change mine, very grateful.🎉
Absolutely man! We are glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! 🤟
Thanks for making this. I had the old one out, and the new one in an hour and a half.
Awesome! Glad you got it done!
Fantastic video man Keri up the great work
Thanks man I really appreciate the kind words! And thank you for watching! 🤟
You have to put the gap of the c clip to the 12 o’clock position

🤣 I have too much time on my hands. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Your videos are great!
Thank you very much! 🙏
How did you know you needed to replace the CV Axel? What were the symptoms?
I actually didn't have any symptoms. I had to replace the deiver side IWE and decided that since I was already in there, I would replace the axles and bearings as well on both sides.
Did you put grease on inboard cv axle shaft before you put it into diff?
Nope, good catch! I know I applied it on the passenger side, but I completely forgot on this side. Thanks for pointing that out as I didn't even realize I forgot!
Does the C-clip come along with the new axle ? Can I just reuse the old one? Thank you very much !
The C-Clip does come with the new axle. I wouldn't trust reusing the old one anyway.
@@TrickShiftGarageCopy that,thanks a lot man!
Anytime brother, thanks for watching! 🙏

Before putting the CV axle back in make sure it is grease. Otherwise you’re gonna have a big problem. Great video.
Yea someone mentioned that like a week ago and I couldn't believe I forgot. I did it on the passenger side, but for some reason forgot on the driver side. Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull it back out soon because I don't want it to get seized up down the road.
Put the wheel nuts on the studs and then you can brace it from turning using a pry bar without damaging the threads
You didn’t replace the diff seal half came off of it and you just through the new shaft in?
Nope. If it isn't leaking, it's not really necessary. I also only have 110k miles on my truck. If I had over 200k, then I would consider it.
Thanks for watching! 🤟
Did you remove the seal from the old axle and put on the new one before installing?
My cv axle is solid and in as far as I can push but it’s not flush with the seal. Is this normal? I’ve been trying to push it further but it won’t move closer. There’s no play with the cv axle.
Is pulling vacuum with a pump from the IWE not necessary? I see a lot of people pulling 20lbs. I have to replace my CV axel and just curious
It's not necessary. I think people do that to check and make sure the IWE is functioning properly. But I didn't do it and everything works great.
@@TrickShiftGarage thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated
Anytime! Thank you for watching! 🙏
Awesome break down
Thanks! And thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟

@@TrickShiftGarage I got it out. Couple whacks with the mallet and used a pry bar. Now just trying to get the new oil seal back in. lol.
Awesome man! Glad you got it out!
Bro I genuinely am curious is your outer tie rod upside down
Made me think I installed my stuff wrong 😅
No
At 10: 30 I had to pull the axle out, let the end drop, which bends that assembly and allows you to lift it up over that piece blocking it.
Front tie rod end bolt spins, had to hold 21 mm nut with crescent wrench AND bolt end w 10mm socket. Doesn't seem like it's supposed to happen.
Is the tie rod end messed up? How will it hold down the end if both nut and bolt can spin?
That's normal

I’m having the same problem, did you ever figure it out?
What if I don’t have a torque wrench?

Thanks for the video btw
Were the hubs full of rust? If so, you may need to use a wire wheel or a wire brush to clean them up a little but before putting the wheel bearing on.
@@TrickShiftGarage No, sir.I live in the south they were clean
Have you replaced the IWE's?
@TrickShiftGarage No I haven't. What are the symptoms of that?
So there tends to be intermittent noises (sometimes it's a humming noise, sometimes a grinding noise). The best way to tell if it is the IWE's, is once you hear the noise, put your truck into 4WD. If the noise goes away, then it could be an IWE issue. If the noise stays, it is something else.

You really should’ve replaced that seal as well
If it goes bad, I'll replace it then.
Can I swap my 2012 Ford F-150 lower control arms and struts to a 16 model.
I don't believe so, but I'm not 100% sure to be honest.
