Hi, there are still a few mistakes regarding the tightening torque. According to Audi the torque for brake caliper carrier is 125 Nm (NOT 75 Nm) and for the drive axel: M14 bolt: 115 Nm + 1/2 turn (180º) or M16 bolt: 190 Nm + 1/2 turn (180º) (NOT 175 Nm).
Note that in this video everything is nicely greased and comes loose easily, in reality not. The top pinch bolt is usually stuck and requires a press or hammer to get out, get a new one, you will need it. Second, I recommend getting an original VAG CV boot, the ones supplied are usually cheap and soft rubbery plastic. Third, when fitting the new joint on the drive shaft, make sure it is secured correctly over the C-shape locking spring.
We cannot show you all the nuances and problems when replacing, it is all individual and not always possible to solve them at home. In order to avoid this, we always recommend that replacements are carried out by a specialized service.
Thanks, I'm about to do this and have seen vids of how insanely hard that top bolt is to get out. But is it neccessary? I've seen others change outer CV joint without loosening any control arm bolts.
One part I find easier is to remove the axle shroud on the block and pull the whole axle without touching the suspension. Old suspension parts are the easiest to break, everything else is kept oiled by the leaks:p
i need to change it too. not so long ago i have wheel alignment done so i dont want to loosen any suspension joints, luckily B5 driveshaft can be taken out without suspension disassembly. im using best quality löbro cv joint from autodoc
In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More accurate information can be obtained in the technical documentation for the car or by contacting the service.
I do not agree with that 63Nm to the nut from hell. The manual says 40Nm. Otherwise very accurate, but there is other way to replace the joint considering the fact that the bolt doesnt come out on most of the Audis.

@@sebruraAFAIK it is not possible to replace it without loosening control arms, you will not get it out of the knuckle.
Epic video. I need to replace my CV joints.

Yes, you are right, it will be useful for us. Thanks for your attention.
