    Also when you change out your axle, Lay them down side by side and insure of length, spline count, and type that it is equal in every way with the new. on the shaft between the ends, there is a round piece on the old one that the new one will not have. That is not a problem as long as the rest of it lines up. check your seal carefully for cracks, splits, or leaks, I usually replace them to ensure nothing goes wrong that would dissastisfy a customer. It is a well-shot video clear and accurate and informative. One of the best I've seen.

    Outstanding narration of technique. Just did mine in about an hour, local mechanics estimate was about $490 before tax. One cheap impact set for $30 and both axles for $110 has the job done.
    Many thanks.

    Trans fluid drips out quickly (pours slowly?) when the driver's side axle is removed. Did not prepare for that, but great video!
    The car I worked on is a rust bucket compared to this one, but it was still a quick fix. One of my axles rusted in half inside a factory rubber damper not installed on the car in this vid. I did not expect my axles to release this easily, but they both did. The passenger side needed a few taps from a punch.
    Tool gathering, setup, and cleanup was more work than the job. 3.5 hrs start to finish for both sides, thanks to this video. My first time replacing axles on a FWD car.
    And thanks for the axle nut torque spec!

      That's very nice! I lived in Texas since I bought my Accord in 2009 until 2018 when I moved to New England. I replaced all four rotors last week (second time). A couple of them were pretty stuck. I wonder how much its due to the salt here. Either way, I'm getting ready to replace the bearings this coming weekend. I know the rotors will come out easy so hoping that the bearing hub and the bearing itself won't be too much trouble. I found the hubs with the bearings online so I plan on discarding the old hubs.

    If you're lucky enough to find one, get a balljoint separator that separates itself in half (got mine from Harbor Freight) I was able to use the lower half of the balljoint separator as a mini picklefork to muscle out the axle in the space opening left of the tietod.

    Do you recommend replacing both at 150,000? If the drivers side cv joint has given out already? What is the life on these axles? Do you recommend just replacing the entire axle all together or just the joints?

    Just so viewers know. I tried looking for a pickle fork and I could not find one. The term 'Axle Popper' is the name most sellers recognize and use. Also loosening the Upper Ball joint as you showed and taking unbolting the lower ball joint. that works better. Even better is to remove the fork from the Shock get it out of the way it's easier than fighting to get the axle out.
    I hope that helps.

    2:45 An old school trick to doing this without the tire on the car, and without an impact gun, is to wedge a flat head or slotted screwdriver (NOT a Phillips head) between the top edge of the brake disc (where the vent slots are.....NOT where the brake pad makes contact with the disc), and the caliper. The screwdriver will get wedged between the disc and the caliper preventing the disc from turning.

    Hey I’m wondering if you can help me out with some info. I have a 2010 Honda Accord and it vibrates as I accelerate. I can feel the vibration through the gas pedal, the seats and a little on the steering wheel. Basically the whole front of the vehicle. Do you think replacing this part would fix the issue or would I need to do something else? I’ve already balanced my wheels and also tried different tires. I’m not quite sure what else the issue would be. Thanks in advance!

    • @HelpingHandAutoRepair
      @HelpingHandAutoRepair  4 года назад +3

      Adan Perez hey I’m sorry. Don’t know if you fixed your problem but if you get the vibration or wobbling under acceleration ONLY, most likely your inner CV joints have failed. I would recommend replacing the axles at this point after you have determined which one was bad.

  • @fireskystorm6108
    @fireskystorm6108 4 года назад

    Have a accord cu2. Mounts have been changes and it doesn't make any noise when turning hard left or right. It makes a noise goimg straight but sometimes it makes it. Its usually around 40km and below it when letting off the pedal it makes a rhythmic perodic clicking or clanking sound. It aslo vibrates around 110km the steering does not shake. The front two seats do and passenger seat on the left vibrates hard. The floor too vibrates.

    • @HelpingHandAutoRepair
      @HelpingHandAutoRepair  4 года назад

      @fireskystorm6108 4 года назад

      @@HelpingHandAutoRepair i get a sound as well. My guess is the inner cv housing is loose. That makes vibrTions and also noise going straight. Let off the gas and at low speed of 40 if your coasting you'll hear it. Abive 40km or below can't hear it. You can hear a really tiny noise of the same sound if you put the vehicle in cruise.

  • @KevinMcGuiremagician

    bad question here but its the same on the other side as well? and when you do this you do both of them at the same time?

    • @HelpingHandAutoRepair
      @HelpingHandAutoRepair  4 года назад +1

      It’s more or less the same. The other axle can be bought as a complete axle with the intermediate shaft attached OR it can be bought just by itself with only the outer axle portion.
      Jack up the car and you will see what the difference is. There is an outer axle that attaches to what’s called the intermediate shaft (bolted up behind the engine) I like to replace the whole thing because it’s easier for me.
      Right where the outer axle meets the intermediate shaft, there is a carrier bearing held on by two or three bolts. Remove those bolts then you can pop the intermediate shaft out of the transmission just like you would in this video I have shown.
      I got a complete axle from Oreilly auto parts. But if you look around you should be able to find it anywhere. As far as replacing both sides? You can if you want to. That’s up to you.

      Adam Kline That would be one of the symptoms of a CV axle going bad.
      If the vibration is under acceleration then yes the inner CV joint is most likely failing. If there is clicking when you turn hard right or left then depending on which way you turn that outer cv joint is bad.

    Hi, I was just wondering why when removing the axle nut. Instead of putting the wheel back on and lowering the car to the floor, why wouldn't simply leaving the car in park work? Would that not give enough stopping power to the axle to prevent it from spinning when trying to remove that nut? I'm asking because I don't have impact tools.....thanks

    Question... just drove 2009 Honda accord and within 1 minute the car will start with very loud grinding noise but will not move when put into drive. It made a very loud sound and I found the damper on the ground. For past month or so the car makes a sound when accelerating. I'm assuming that I will need to replace the entire CV axel but im concerned about this loud grinding noise when I put the car in drive and pressed on the gas. Have you seen the damper ever just fall on the ground and what are the odds I did any damage to the transmission? I didn't see any transmission fluid on the ground. Vehicle has 145k miles on it.

      The way you’re describing it sounds like a wheel bearing. To check the wheel bearing, You can jack the car up and leave the wheel on. With the wheel suspended in the air, grab the tire at 12 o’clock and at 6 o’clock and wiggle the wheel.
      If there is play up and down, the wheel bearing is possibly bad.

    • @HelpingHandAutoRepair
      @HelpingHandAutoRepair  5 лет назад +4

      Richard Cruz the passenger side is mostly similar (you will disconnect everything I have disconnected on this side)
      The only real difference is that the passenger side has an intermediate shaft in addition to the CV axle. You will see what I mean when you look under the car. There is a metal shaft that slides directly into the transmission and then it connects to the cv axle on the outside.
      So follow this video up until it is time to remove the axle. Then read below:
      There will 14mm bolts holding the intermediate shaft in place on the bottom of the block. You will need to remove these bolts and then you can pry the shaft out of the transmission and pull out the cv axle AND the intermediate shaft as a whole.

    Hey man, I have a question. I have a 2012 Honda accord 4 door, and it wobbles when i hit 60-70mph under acceleration only. It does not wobble under deceleration or breaking. I have balanced the rotated the wheels, replaced front break pads and rotors, and it still wobbles. I am really frustrated. I will be replacing the cv axles tomorrow, but i am just wondering if you have any other suggestions? I am pretty sure all the bushings are in good health, so i believe the bearings will be the only other thing that would cause it to shake right?? I just dont know how to test them. I tried to see if the cv axles were in good condition, and they do have a little bit of play, but i do not know whats normal and whats not. There is no knocking sound when turning or feedback to the steering wheel... it has been going on for a few months, so i am really done with this wobbling...
