This went very easy. If you live in the rust belt the bearing will be frozen to the bracket. The easiest way to remove the shaft from the car is to cut it in half-the shaft is hollow. Remove the bolts off the bracket, pry the bracket away from the alignment pins and pull both pieces out. Remove bearing from bracket in a bench press. Smear some anti seize on the bearing where she rides in the bracket. Grease splined end going into transmission and be mindful not to bump the seal upon install. Complete rest of install as per video. Good video, keep up the good work.
Go to Lowe’s and pick up a $35 air hammer that works with a compressor. I used it with the chisel tip from the package and you just press from the back side of the bearing (facing towards transmission) to the wheel side and 2 minutes it will be out
Just did a 04 Camry 3.0L V6 Right CV Axle. Had to just the old axle to get it out. The Axle was not hollow, it is solid. A Cut-off Wheel worked better than a sawall.
@@gtlegacy1 which air hammer? it is pretty tight inside there. I imagine, it must be short air hammer. I am thinking, I should put that grease in first then air hammer it. Everybody really like cutting it, it is too messy
I would have fired this youngster if he worked like that in my shop because nothing is torqued. thats crazy way to perform any services, especially at a dealership.
What all these videos on this subject never show is the axle fully seated in the trans. Not sure why but seems to be one if not the most important part of the install.... One even show the person pounding it in and showing like a 16th gap and calling it done.
Wish mine would just pop out that easy. I spent all day beating and prying and I've only moved it maybe a 16th out of the transmission i guess i gotta remove the 2hole bracket but the bolt are on there
Just got a camry and the passenger cv axel was replaced by previous owner but must’ve not done something right. The axel is still shiny and new looking but when you try and put it in gear it makes a grinding noise and won’t pull. But if you play with the steering wheel going side to side and keep putting in gear sometimes it’ll go for a couple feet and then stop and make the grinding noise again. Any help is appreciated
Make sure he used the right bolt inside the axle carrier, if he used a longer bolt and over torqued it he could of pinned the axle from spinning freely
Excellent. Did it just like you guys. Quick. Took the longest to pop the middle bearing out of the carrier but a little penetrating lube and boom. Notice the threaded end for the nut is a little longer on the new one and it's a 6 point hex nut, 32mm (Carquest). Good to have a set of those larger sockets. Lost a little fluid out of the tranny but as someone said, probably a little over filled. Watched two other videos and none of them leaked out. Nice work, good video. Greatly appreciate you shortening my learning curve which can sometimes be way too long.
This is the same, if the support bearing is rusty you may have to hammer it back in. I have had them just slide into place with a push of a finger and some of them are hard going back in.
Too easy with a Lift. But a little difficult when Using a jack an laying on ground. An i guess its okay to not use grease around where the bearing is before you put ut back in??
My 2002 Toyota Camry 3.0 V6 has started shaking during driving. It basically stops when I let off the accelerator. How can I determine if it is the CV axle that needs to be replaced?
From what you are explaining the right side front cv axle with the center support bearing is the one that has the vibration. If it is bad enough you can sometimes feel the play in the axle by pushing up and down on the axle( on a lift, vehicle in the air). Some aftermarket axles will have this issue even if it is new. I would recommend replacing it with a factory axle
am doing mine and I live in a rust belt state lol Maine but the car came from down south two things that are the hared part is the spring gets rusty and usely soak the snott out of it and driving the it out of the bracket I was going to try and unbolt the bracket but the one bolt will take a while to remove I would like to slap the person up the side of there head for making it like that lol ….I got the snap ring off and now am working on driving it out
How did you manage to get that axle out of that bracket covering the bearing (at 4:21 in the video)? I had to take the bracket off with the axle and I've been pounding on it all day and it won't budge!
Typically if fluid come out then it it overfilled. If you have a leak or fluid does come out then you need to check the level. If it has a dipstick check it with that. If the vehicle has a sealed trans then you have to check the fluid by having the transmission temperature in a range. You have to check the manual to see what that temp range is.
I replaced the CV axle on my Prius. I have a question. After installation, I noticed the new CV axle does not have the metal dust cover at the end of the axle on the transaxle side. Is this a necessary component? In other words, will the transaxle seal be compromised with this metal dust cover missing? Thanks.

Good video, keep up the good work.
Thank you. It was pissing me off seeing videos of people just sliding it out.
Yeah these bracket bolt are proving to be difficult to get off as well

I am amazed with how easy that popped out of the carrier. I’ve never seen one do that

On my dad’s Avalon it popped out right away, but on my awd RAV4 it was rusted out so I had to take off the exhaust and grind apart the axle carrier 😅

I tracked down a whining sound down to the bearing - Axle itself was in great condition -
I'm hopeful that is what is making the sound in my 2007 Rav4 3.5l. Sounds like a jet engine starting up.
how much ATF oil did you leak and how much did you add to the gearbox?
This exact car and side, the castle nut on the ball joint is stripped.. I guess I'll have to take out the cv to get to it now? Any suggestions

I would be happy to you could tell me a little detail about the car computer. My car model is saloon 2008 camre
Good job dude . very clean

That was really easy does this work on 2014 camry se same step ? Do you have to hammer it when putting it back or just slid it right back in ?
This is the same, if the support bearing is rusty you may have to hammer it back in. I have had them just slide into place with a push of a finger and some of them are hard going back in.
That was very informative.. U r good..
Too easy with a Lift. But a little difficult when Using a jack an laying on ground. An i guess its okay to not use grease around where the bearing is before you put ut back in??
That was fairly new, do you know why it failed prematurely?

I know my trade Mendoza. Always busy so don’t have the time to comment back right away.

Jim Stelljes did you ever find out what the problem was ? My car 2007 Camry is doing the same thing
Make one about Cv axels on Scion xB 2008 and up
Was the timing chain cover leaking on this car?
How did you manage to get that axle out of that bracket covering the bearing (at 4:21 in the video)? I had to take the bracket off with the axle and I've been pounding on it all day and it won't budge!
shoehorny sometimes you have to hit the bracket with an air hammer if the Carrier bearing is rusted
god mechanic. i salute you
Does anyone know labor time for 2009 camry 4 cylinder passanger side axle replacement ?
thanks, much appreciated.
Does the transmission fluid come out? If yes, then how do you put it back?
Typically if fluid come out then it it overfilled. If you have a leak or fluid does come out then you need to check the level. If it has a dipstick check it with that. If the vehicle has a sealed trans then you have to check the fluid by having the transmission temperature in a range. You have to check the manual to see what that temp range is.
A little normal but if a lot comes out then you probably damage the axel seal. I've done it before
I use Kroil or Deep Creep
can we do it when hot transmission or cool?
It’s always hot when I do them.
No rust ? Sweet.
No torque specs??
What year is this Camry
Muy buen video
Why are you using impact wrench to tighten the screws ? Torque wrench should be used.
Because almost all auto repair shops, especially dealer shops, use impact tools for these kind of repairs?
Because directions are for pussies like u moe
damn that’s bad ! but good video
Looks like a big a$$ oil leak. Rust proofing for winter salt
Is not easy like that

Yea definitely you need it, usually it comes on a new axle but if it doesn’t I would take off the one from the old axle and throw it on a new one
