This video shows you how to install a front CV axle shaft on your 1988-1994- Chevrolet K1500. A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1988 Chevrolet K1500 Truck
1989 Chevrolet K1500 Truck
1990 Chevrolet K1500 Truck
1991 Chevrolet K1500 Truck

Conveniently uploaded 2 months before I ended up needing to do this

[@dpo8bwee]

Wow! That ended up being the slickest and quickest repair I think I've ever done. Glad I found your video instead of following along with the Chilton!

[@mikemcgown6362]

Thanks for making it clear and simple to understand. I'm going to be doing this on my truck in the driveway.

[@iveyq3843]

Time to do this on my 1990 K1500, but what did you do to require going to an alignment shop?

[@dinowcristadora721]

Hello, I was wondering if the procedure is the same for both sides as far as raising the lower control arm to remove the shaft?
Thank you for all the information, over the past few years

[@hectorramirez1808]

I have a fluid leak coming from where the six bolts are, is there a seal there that I need to replace ?

[@comeonscott]

I just watched this video!! I just replaced into my 97 k1500. That ll work with 95-98 k1500. The years are same 88-98.

[@erikmaurer]

do you grease the black seal on the hub before installing the cv joint? Its not discussed in the video

[@user-nn8bv6uv7t]

Why remove the shock if it came out without removing it first?

[@dylanwallace5571]

Will this work on a 96 k1500

[@stephenluther6753]

Should have checked for play where cv axle connects to front diff.

[@randyharris9357]

Nice presentation, even mechanical idiot like me can do it

[@derekbell4758]

I noticed the thumbnail is a 4x4 cv axle an the one installed wasn't.

[@Ryan-dw5nx]

Looks like you’re going to replace the inner and outer tie rods as well 😂

[@spencerminyo8590]

Why clean up residual grease?! Grease is good water is bad. I can’t get enough grease and oil on my truck
