To check your transmission fluid level, put your vehicle in park and start the engine and let it idle. If you do not start your engine, you will not get an accurate reading.
Pop open your hood and locate the Transmission Fluid dipstick. It is located in the engine compartment at the front of the engine bay towards the driver side. It will have a small round handle.
Wipe off the transmission fluid from the dipstick and reinsert. Pull the dipstick out and take a reading, if your transmission fluid is too low add transmission fluid slowly and recheck.
Do this until your transmission fluid level is within the marks on the dipstick, and you're done!

I watched a bunch of videos on this and this is the first time I seen it done disconnecting the strut. All others disconnected the ball joint. Looks so much EASIER your way. Thanks, i'll be doing it your way next week.
Came here to second this; every other video has you pop the knuckle joint when you don't need to.This is definitely the best video on how to do this

@@Revitauto Worked like a charm. Surprised how easy it was. I planned for a beer job lol
I got an oil change and tire rotation at a local mechanical place and they told me that both of my cv boots were busted. they said they would change both axles for $800!!!!! $141 for each axle and $480 in labor. i found both axles for $132 total and now i know how to install it. you saved me over $650. thank you so much. definitely deserves a subscribe and a like. youre the bomb!
Glad this video helped! I believe we charged the client somewhere around $650. We know how much auto repair can cost so we do our best to help people out! If you have the velocity channel check out this season of Junkyard Empire, we are on a majority of the episodes! Thanks for your support! Happy Motoring.
Absolutely perfect. Just finished replacing both the cv joints on my 14 altima according to Revit. Clear instructions, easy to follow, simple, could not have gone smoother. Well yes it could, I could have bought the right oil filter for the simultaneous oil change.
Glad it was helpful. We would appreciate it if you subscribed to help us grow and continue creating repair videos to help everyone. Happy motoring!
So I got an estimate of about $670 bucks to change both axles. I went online and found a pair for a real decent price with a 10 year warranty. I watched your videos and BAM!. You saved me $500 bucks in labor. Thanks a bunch for the videos. I also feel a great sense of accomplishment.
dvxman72 that is awesome! Glad this video was able to help! Happy Motoring!
Okay follow up question. Now I am seeing a transmission fluid leak. I checked to make sure it was not coming from the axle which I had just replaced and it is not but seems like it's coming from somewhere in that area. Any thoughts?
dvxman72 clean the area really really well with brake parts cleaner. And use a dye in the transmission fluid. Order a small black light flash light of Amazon and it will tell you exactly where you are leaking !
Okay so turns out I did not need the UV dye. I found the leak was on the passenger side axle. I forgot that axle is longer and comes over toward the driver side so the drip had me fooled. I ordered a new seal. Any tips on replacing the seal?
nicely done..very rare to find a RUclips video where the visual audio and directions are complete and clear ty!

Thank you so much! I hope this video helped you out! Happy Motoring-Blair
like how u name each part as u are walking through sensors parts etc.. it helps learning all the components
You got it! Thanks for the comment! Happy Motoring!
Thank you so much for your video. I love the way you showed step by step clean work too. And encouraging to support local communities . Great job!
It's my pleasure we have a video out you may like! ruclips.net/video/cH4BO-Jnbn8/видео.html
I'm doing the right side axle on my boss's maxima probably this weekend. I wanted to say Thank you for making the video. Also when I found out where you work that was a pleasant surprise Since I live in va and work in md.
Cool! Nice to see a local on RUclips! If you are doing the passenger side we have a video of that as well. Left and right sides of the car are determined from sitting in the driver seat. So left side is driver right side is passenger. Happy Motoring!
Thanks! This was a huge help. I don't have an impact, so I tried using a ratchet with a 32mm for the wheel nut. A few solid pops with a hammer and it came right off.

Every video I've watched they always do it from the bottom. Seems much easier to just take the strut bolts out rather than break the ball joint!

Excellent video. Thanks for tips on removal from the transmission and pointers on reinsert of the new axle, those are key!!! Much appreciated!!!

Your tut videos are awesome. Wish everyone did them like that. I had to replace both axles and bearings on my 09 Altima. So thank you and the magic hand very much!
Thank you very much! We work hard to put out great content to help people save a buck! Happy Motoring! -Magic Hand!!!
THANK YOU! I was trying to take the control arm joint out; and couldn't get it to let loose. Take the shock tower bolts off was a lot easier!!!
Glad this video helped! Doing the job yourself is a good way to do some social distancing! Stay safe!
You really saved my bacon today! Thanks.
Great video instructions.
Best to you and yours.
This is a great video very detailed are these steps the same for a 3.5?
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate.
Of course! It is what we are here for, Happy Motoring

How much fluid goes back into the transmission?
What kind of fluid was that that came out when he pulled the old axel out and does that require replacement?
That was CVT transmission fluid, if you have it leaking out you will want to check the transmission fluid before you drive.
Thank you for the video. I was sure it was a simple job but glad you pointed out the seal because i would have just shoved it in and probably shread it lol i hope i got the right parts though.. locating the proper one is a pain in the ass
Glad this video helped! The Passenger side is a lot more frustrating. When you are ordering parts just pay very close attention to the part number. It gets confusing looking for a cvt cv axle ;) Happy Motoring!
+RevitAuto Just completed this job a few minutes ago! Advice for anyone whos cv axle didnt come out as nicely as the one in video, get the largest pry bar you can fit between the transmission and axle and she will pop right out with a good amount of force. Rides like new! Thanks again 🤘
This is an awesome tip! And is a trick we use often! Thank you for sharing. Happy Motoring!
Super duper helpful thank you so much

I don`t see on your new axle the ring for abs sensor, how is the abs system can pick up the signal from that wheel?
Nice video just need the torqu specs

Loved the video! Thanks for the information. I was able to find a mobile mechanic like yourself in my area that will do one for around 400. Is that a good price?
That sounds like a fair price to me! Happy Motoring!
@@Revitauto; Thank you sir!
Great video.

I wish no leak oil trans, is it necessary pull the axle out complete to change the boot?
What impact gun is it your using please its awesome
What was happening that made you realize you needed to change the axle out? Was the car jerking forward?
Just wondering. Is it common to replace that axle seal during this job?
Just curious. Did you need to replace the "oil" or transmission fluid that poured out when you pulled out the axle?
So there's 2 separate parts of the axle? Driver side & the passenger side right?
Yes
Thank you for the video!! Do you have to put some CVT fluid after installation since you loose some when you removed the axel? Thanks
We topped of a little less than a 1/4 of a quart. We parked on a hill with one side of the vehicle raised. It lowered the amount of spilling!
You only use CVT fluid if you have a CVT (constant velocity transmission).
Otherwise you use transmission fluid, heavy weight gear oil for a manual and red ATF for an automatic (check your owner's manual)..
Subscribe to your channel 👍🙋🏻♂️ very informative and well explained. You deserve more views. My niece first car 07 Altima 2.5L she just got it I was doing the oil change today find out the inner boot is leaking😏 I need to replace just the boot?? Helpppp🤔 and how many oil quart need? Thank you 😎
Can you use a 2013 Nissan Altima axle for a 2011 Altima
Is it the same for a 2017 Altima? I gotta change mine soon wanted to be sure.
Would this method also work for a 2017 altima?
You don't replace the trans fluid you lost while changing part?
What about replacing the oil that came out
What u do when u change driver axel on a Nissan 2012 with the transmisión oil spell
how do you top off the fluid lost during the replacement?
Dumb question but where do i find the torque specs for each bolt?
Brotherthe sock is 32 mm for axle
I have an 05 nissan maxima v6 automatic n i need to do the driver side cv axle will these steps b the same for my car thanks any tips will help a lot
The steps will be similar, but not identical! Let us know how it works out for you!
Revit Auto i did put in but now my stearing wheel is a bit to the right is not center wt u think it is thanks again
Torque specs on the CV nut
How much transmission oil did you have to add after changing the cv shaft?I don't want to buy a lot of the oil as it is pretty expensive from nissan. Thank You.
We only had to add less than a quart of transmission fluid.
@@Revitauto ok thanks! Another question, where could I buy the seal if I accidentally break it? I couldnt seem to find the part at auto stores. Thanks again.
What is the fluid coming out? Just oil?
Trans fluid!
WOULD THIS CAUSE NEGATIVE CAMBER TO THIS WHEEL?
No, the axle of your vehicle does not have any effect on the camber. That would be up to the suspension components, like Control Arms. I read this as you were yelling loudly fyi ;)
Some one tell me what I do when I change the right axel to a Nissan Maxima with the oil coming out I have to put back the same amaunt back
What impact wrench do you have and what are the torque specs if you don't mind me asking
Hey! Happy Friday! I am using an ingersoll rand electric impact gun, and the torque specs are in the videos description!
Happy Motoring!
Where did you support the car with the jack, or stand?
I used the factory jacking spot where you would jack the car to change the tire. And then placed a jack stand underneath the control where it meets the K-Member/Engine Cradle as that is nice strong metal. If you have your owners manual it should show you where you can jack your car from.
How long can you drive with that problem mine started leaking yesterday
Hey! I cant really tell you how long it is going to last! Just that its a better idea to fix any issue on your car! I have some go a long time before catastrophic failure. But its a safety issue so get to wrenching!!!!
Thank you for the quick reply I thought the same thing
Im in a Nissan GTX 98 Altima with a bad cv joint im homeless no tools but wondering how much should i pay a mechanic to fix it because these named brand places like Midas Tire Kingdom and Pep boys trying to scam me here for $1000 ish..
Did you refill the lost transmission fluid?
Yes we did, be sure to keep a drain pan under the trans to capture any old fluid and refill with new trans fluid. We picked ours up from the dealer.
Would my 2008 Nissan Quest be a similar job to your Nissan Altima?
Loosely Similiar, the process is very similiar. If you give yourself the weekend you should be able to tackle it with the help of a few friends! Happy Motoring!
How much if transmission fluid do you have to add back in?
I am sorry I do not know how much it needed, does your vehicle have a dipstick?
@@Revitautomine does not what can i do ?
Question...how did you diagnose the car needed new axle? I have a 2008 altima and I'm hearing a clicking/creaking noise when I back out of drive way and then drive forward. @revitauto. Thank you
LaToya Keeling that clicking noise is actually a common sign of a bad CV axle so I would Get it checked
Did you find what was the problem? transmission or axle?
I seem to be having a really hard time with mine , can't seem to slip the axel right in ..... Am I doing something wrong
Are you sure that you have the correct Axel? Compare the two of them they have to be identical check the splines and measure how thick each line is overall diameter
Just checking back in on you, were you able to get it sorted?
hi my 2010 altima wont go into drive. when it does i her and feel a lot of shaking not sure if its the transmission or the axles.can you please give me any suggestions
Did you find what was the problem? transmission or axle? I had the same problem in my 2010 altima
@revit auto for a manual transmission does the car has to be in neutral? Would appreciate your reply. Thanks
Interesting question. It should not matter if you are installing or removing. What is important is that you have the axle seated correctly and meshed with the splines.
What issue are you running into?
@@Revitauto I am still working on removing the axle (removing transmission to replace the clutch). I just wanted to make sure that I should be in Neutral as I didn't want to break anything. Thanks for your reply :)
What about the oil that spilled out
The Transmission in this case was over filled, so no worries for us! All topped off and good to go!
Great Video.. Whats the oil that was released ?? Motor or Trans ?? Thanks
Jesus Lara Fierro transmission fluid
Did the transmission oil that leaked out get replaced?
Revit Auto do you have to put more transmission fluid in?
How does that work when I try that noting is working
Glen Herrera I responded to your other comment with other methods you can try!
Try to pull it like that and try different way still can't find the way my amigo
Glen Herrera try getting a pry bar to pry between the axle and that case. Make sure you are pulling perfectly straight out. Also put the trans in neutral with wheel chocked. Turn axle a little making sure it spins freely the pull straight out again. Good luck!
LOL! Think about putting the drain pan down BEFORE you pull the axle.
Hey hey now.... That would be wayyy to intelligent. Thank you for the laugh! Happy Motoring-Blair
What size is that axle nut?
@Joshua Wright Thanks! Not a chance I would even remember that!
I have a 2009 Nissan Altima what kinda of axle do I need to get and where can I get it from
You didn't show filling transmission fluid.
I did not! I just updated the description in the video as a walkthrough on how to do that!
To check your transmission fluid level, put your vehicle in park and start the engine and let it idle. If you do not start your engine, you will not get an accurate reading.
Pop open your hood and locate the Transmission Fluid dipstick. It is located in the engine compartment at the front of the engine bay towards the driver side. It will have a small round handle.
Wipe off the transmission fluid from the dipstick and reinsert. Pull the dipstick out and take a reading, if your transmission fluid is too low add transmission fluid slowly and recheck.
Do this until your transmission fluid level is within the marks on the dipstick, and you're done!
@@Revitautowhat if my 2014 nissan doesn’t have a dipstick
He forgot the part were he needed to add cv transmission fluid.
Nope! Didn't forget just did not show it in the video. I added to the video description the process for doing that! Thank again for commenting! Happy Motoring! -Blair

But where’s the oil type?
You mean hard taps
Not a single torque spec used
All the torque specs are in the video description. We try to make the videos as short as possible and cut simple steps to jam back the info.
Torque the nut to spec ✔
All the ugga duggas lol
Make sure your ugga duggas are calibrated
You cant just tighten down without specific torque
Re l pout 660000
How did you know it was the wrong shaft? Did you hear strange noises or did it not fit?
The axle we had received was for a manual transmission for the same model and year car. The wrong axle was too large to fit into the splines of the transmission and was identified a few seconds after I said this C-Clip is fighting me.
Revit Auto thanks a lot and great video!
@@Revitauto Hi about to tackle this job same year Altoma 08'. So if we get the right cv axle for right car, upon removal from transmission it should just slip right out and for putting new one in it should slip right in with no trouble? Having the right axle of in hand course!
Autozone doesn’t have a cotter pin axle should I return? Or do I drill my own hole?
