The only time I had issue with the axle was Nissan Versa, other than that aftermarket a doing their job. Just do jot buy the cheapest one. Get one made by any of well known brands.
You correctly mention the new axle bolt and 35ft-lbs, but this bolt is torque to yield. Are you supposed to tighten it 90 degrees after 35 ft-lbs? This is important.
That is a very good question. From what I learned recently it is supposed to be 26 ft-lbs + 90°. Having said that I do not have a document to reference, sorry.
Wow, you made it look easy! I have a pry bar like yours, but I cannot get it in there to apply pry force with the frame in the way. Was your pry bar tip pointing outward or inward when you got it in there? I can get mine in with the tip pointing inward, but I won't be able to pry with the tip flipped. Could you explain a bit more on this? Much appreciated!
Hi there! If I remember correctly the tip was pointing inward, couldn't get it in the other way. If you are not doing that on a hoist, try to get the car as high as you safely can, that should allow you to stick your pry bar in right spot.
Thanks for the quick reply! I guess I didn't pry from the right spot since the tip slips out when applying pry force with the tip pointing inward. I'll give it another try.
@@justdoityourself Still no luck :( The inverted tip simply slips out when force is applied. Hate to admit the defeat, so I'll work on it a bit more. Thanks!
Made it looks so easy! Thank you.
You are very welcome! That's because it was the easiest axle replacement ever, haha
@@justdoityourself one more question…I’ve read a lot of debate on OEM vs deter,asker. How is the one you bought holding up?

Witaj jaki silnik jest w tym volvo? Ja mam 2.4 też nie trzeba spuszczać oleju ze skrzyni? Zawieszenia nie tzeba odkręcać?

what were the symptoms that you had that made you know you needed to replace the drivers side axle?
Grease was leaking out of the boots

@@dyzking794 good luck! Let me know how it goes.

@@justdoityourself Just to let you know that I go it out! I modified a pickle fork to fit through the limited space and it came right out. Thanks!
did you have to let out the transmission fluid before?
This transmission is sealed and there is no direct contact of the axle with the fluid.
Is it still necessary to coat the end of the axle with transmission fluid before inserting it? Thanks @@justdoityourself
@@Tyler-sk9xb I would not recommend to put it in dry, but you can use other type of oil, not just that super expensive transmission fluid.
would it be the same for my t6 s60??
I'd expect it to be more similar to this

That was the fastest axle replacement I’ve ever witnessed lol I’m doing my passenger side tonight..
Haha, was the fastest in my experience too.
How did it go? Anything else you found that I should think about? I need to buy. Torque wrench, but at 120 for labor…the cost is worth it,
Notice how he didnt show how to get the hub shaft back in!!!
The hardes part you cut out of the video.
To put the axle outside is m.....f...... hard.
I did the job in two hours.
Interesting, this job was quite easy in my case. Similar are other comments. Why did yours take 2 hours?
