Thanks man worked instantly!
Nice job!!
Was having heaps of trouble getting my axle back in today. Watched this video and worked first go. Thanks for the tip!
It worked. Your my hero. Spent about 30 mins trying...watched video...2 mins later CV axle was in.
Nice job!!
On the Hondas, keep the opening of the retainer clip at 12 o clock position and wiggle it in.
Thanks
You are a God among men. Dead set. Always have trouble with getting my aftetmarket axles back in. Had given up until I could get a mate over to bash with the hammer while I hold it straight after hours of swearing.
Tried your trick bloody thing slid straight in. Very helpful.
Nice good u found my video!!!
😊😊
WOWOOWOWOW!!!!! Sincerely. I have been trying for THREE HOURS. I put some grease on it, it popped right in.
I didn't think that would be possible.
Hell yeah I was amazed the first time I tried this my friend showed me this trick he is 27 year experienced mechanic
Wish I would have seen this video before I efed up my left arm 😂 worked like a charm and if you were here I’d buy you a case of beer Thanks!!!!
Hell yeah bro!!! Glad u found the video I learned this my self the hard way!!! I try it once normally if it don’t work I try this!! It works everytime!!!
was fighting with an Axle for 30 minutes watched this video it went right in 😆 thanks!
Nice good job!!
This really worked and saved my ass! Let the circlip "float" on an even cushion of grease, this will keep it centered on the shaft and go in easier.
Yup glad this worked !!!
So this is why Scotty put grease on his. Thanks for the video 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yup lol
Amazing video
Another good tips, thanks for sharing your knowledge. God bless
Thank u for blessing
Transmission goo. This stuff is amazing for anything. It dissolves in any type of fluid too
I’ve seen Scotty suggest same thing! Thanks bout to tackle another one!
Welcome!!!
1:30 into a 2-1/2 minute video: "just put a dab of grease on it." This guy.
Yup check how many people got helped with 2 mins
@@RBTheMechanic I got helped
@@JK-hd2zb great!!!
If that clip isn’t in all the way would that cause the axle to slide out leaving you stranded, i just did this job but after about a block something happens and my axle is a bit loose and the car just revs?
It will pop out I have seen it or it will damage the inside
Hello there. How do I tighten the retainer? Before coming across this video I took out the ring and tried squeezing it tighter and it is still sticking out a little even with the grease.
I’m not sure how far u stretched it out but usully it’s sticking out a bit if it hangs your not suppose to take it out try ur best look at the old axle all u could do is squeeze it
I installed today CV Axle on Passenger side. The car has a design w/Intermediate Drive Shaft, there was no Transmission Oil on that side. It is just grease inside of the housing of that shaft (I know bcs I replaced the Seal on that Shaft housing. It was very hard to install it (though I put the ring w/opening down. I used 4 lbs hammer to hammer it in. But how I can be sure that the CV Axle is inserted completely? Is there any method to check? Thank you for a great film.
What kinda car u have. Usully u don’t need 4 lb hammed I use the axle force to push it it in I usully can feel it snap in
@@RBTheMechanic Thank you for the attention to my question. The car is 2001 Saturn SL2. There was a clicking sound on sharp Left turns, so as far as I know it can be Right CV Axle, so I decided to replace both, the car has ~130mi so it is time to replace anyway. On the Right (Passenger side) I installed Cardone 66-1274 New CV Axle, which I bought on Amazon. I put some grease on the splines (same which I added into the Intermediate Shaft housing, Green Grease 101 Synthetic Waterproof High Temperature Grease, 14 Oz. Tube). 1st I started w/orange plastic hammer, CV Axle just barely sited on the shaft.Then took 3 lbs hammer (nut was on the end of the CV Axle of course), it went more, but not enough. During all that I compressed the CV Axle as advised and made it as straight as possible. Then I switched to 4 lbs, it sited completely, doesn't move anymore, but I have doubts, since don't know how to check all that, if it is 100%. In some films they were talking about clicking sound, but how you can here it if you are hammering. Also someone said it would be a change on hammering sound, when sited, but I forgot about it during the installation and didn't listen how it sounded originally. I tried to pull w/ hand, obviously it doesn't comes off. If I knock w/wood, like during removal, it will comes off. I think maybe to knock slightly, but how slightly? All that is very confusing. I'll be doing more research today, but if you can tell smth. I would really appreciate. I also hope that when I go to Dealer for alignment and tell them my concerns, they might be able to determine, if it sits completely or not. Do you happen know what would be the signs on driving if it is not inserted well? Maybe I can check like that. Thank you again.
Update: thinking about How to know that CV Axle is fully inserted on the passenger side, it came to my attention, that the color on the Inner end of CV Axle is different. It has a dark strip by the that big base cylinder. That dark strip, should it be fully seen, or part goes inside of the seal? I think it should be fully seen, otherwise why it would be there. From under the car I can't see the border between colors, just that dark strip. But I'm still in doubts.
Can you comment if the open ,cut out portion if ring is supposed to be on the up side or the downside of the axle shaft.
Dosent matter once it’s in it will move all over anyways to insert it I would try to face it down
Open end of ring should be at 12 o’clock
I just figured out another trick we didn't have transmission grease but I told my dad if what if we put the ring at the top before we shove it in and it worked as long as the Rings at the top and the openings at the bottom it'll go right in
Good idea it will try to drop but bang by then it’s in. Niceee thinking
@@RBTheMechanic well in our particular one I noticed that there was a flat Edge where the two ends of the Ring meet I thought that's perfect and it went right in
I have a 2008 Toyota 4runner and I need to have my front CV axels replaced, but I think the place that the inner CV axel goes into is called "front differential"? And the fluid that comes out of it is called "gear oil", and I tried to looked it up, it is different from "transmission oil". I am a little novice in car mechanics and a little bit confused, is front differential the same as transmission?
No it’s diffrent u can just go to Autozone or pepboys they will let u know how much and what type u need
@1:10 Now I'm looking on the Inner end and see, that when I installed, there was no ring there. That ring was on the Drive Shaft on which the CV Axle goes. I believe I saw one film when the ring was also on the Shaft, not on the CV Axle. When I removed the original CV Axle, the ring was left on the Shaft, so I left it there. I worried that it rotated kind of free in its grove (there is a grove on the shaft as well). Even wanted to replace, but then saw in one film, that it was sitting in the same way, and he put some grease on it, so it won't move that much. So I want to point out that the circlip locking ring on the Passenger side is on the Driving Shaft and not on CV Axle. There is a grove for that ring on the Right CV Axle, but it is located inside, on the inner side of the inner cylindrical part. Thank you for your film again.
Welcome
I didn’t have trouble putting it in but it kinda moves now that it’s in is it supposed to have any play
If u felt it snap in ur good it might move tiny tiny bit
RB..good stuff..i have a question for you..is there a trick bringing it out!? I guess that same retainer in is the down position and mine aint moving out..i can fill a little gap but i can feel something small is holding it back..
Ever run into that? Thanks
I had lot of axles that just didn’t want to come out but try using 2 pry bars to each side so the force is equal on both sides and it comes out straight also try Turing the axle to diff diff spots that was the ring moves sound and don’t forget be careful not to crack the transmission with too much force with pry bars
@@RBTheMechanic thanks for the response..yes after i watched yours caught another video where i guy take a small chisel and essential does what you saying..taps then spins..taps again..mine dont have the room i dont thing for a fork style i dont believe..
Makes sense though if your putting grease into holding it up then one would believe that you just have to get it in a sweat spot to make it fall..
What a stupid design..they could have used the torx bolts all the way around....NOOO!!! They want people to bring repairs to the shop..makes business sense thought! Haha
Ok thanks for the response..
@@urighht yeah if u turn it and keep try eventully it will at one time u will get lucky the ring will sit even
What can I do if the axle in and everything all tighten up but axle not in all the way
Danny Garcia you can try tapping it but I think best bet will be to take thing apart and push it in
What to do if that ring comes off inside the transmission stuck in the groove?
never happen
What grease would you recommend for a cvt transmission?
They sell transmission grease lube which dissolves
What the grease called? Or any type of grease will work? Im struggling with mine
Regular should work very tiny amount or pick up transmission grease
Thank you
We now know you can't trust him with any secrets, he'll go on CZcams and tell the whole world
Yup
Well this seems obvious. I probably should've done that earlier
What grease should I use? I have a manual transmission, not sure what grease to get.
Put anything and keep it a 🤫 tiny amount will not do any harm 😜
Put any grease tiny amount and keep it a secret 🤫 will not harm anything 😉
Thank you, couldnt get the 500hp axle on my driver side k swap track car
This works
@@RBTheMechanic yeh got it with a lil dead blow persuasion. Both axles in at 4am when I saw this video. Dropping it on the ground today and driving
I hope this works. Looks good in theory.. I'll be trying to get that driveshaft in since 3 days ago.
I'll tell u how I made out..
Yeah try that works!
@@RBTheMechanic what transmission grease did you use
@@Jame6999 they sell transmission grease at Autozone u can simply ask them it dissolves once it mixes with fluid also I have use tiny bit of regular grease in past works fine
@@RBTheMechanic thanks. I was going to use vaseline says it also dissolve once heated
@@Jame6999 lol or just pick up the transmission grease
What kind of transmission grease do I need?
U can use tiny bit of red marine grease or go get somthing that’s for transmission that dissolves with fluid
2009 Corolla has been kicking my ass for three days now, I tried engine assembly lube and nothing, I don't see what's so special about trans lube, grease is grease but the SOB just won't snap in, I'm desperate at this point and will try anything.
Try this trick and use rubber mallet
I know the feeling. My passenger side is tough. Im going to try grease tomorrow & hope it works.
yes dose work.
Great!!
Can I use copper anti-seize ?
Nope
It literally tells you to do this on every wrapper for cv's. Nothing new. If they wanted to when you claimed a lifetime warranty dispute. They would ask you is you lubed the c clip on the inboard housing of the axel
Not listed there which axle u buy?
Just about any grease will work, been doing this for years
Yupppp great trick
Synthetic grease fine?
Really that's the big fucking secret
Yes lol it’s just no one knows this helps
If you have a picture of the side on the car, that will help a lot.
Sorry I dont
What kind of transmission grease? Any specific brand or product?
Farid Halim they sell purple transgress it dissolves with trans fluid pretty good stuff u can buy it from Autozone or pep boys
@@RBTheMechanic i tried to look at autozone, they have several grease. Would regular grease works for this purpose or it is dangerous to use?
Farid Halim I have used regular grease put very tiny amount never had any problem
@@RBTheMechanic thanks for the tips. I will try that. I only have the light grease that I bought from walmart. That's should be fine as well, right?
Farid Halim yup
How do you know 100% that it is locked in? Im nervous about it coming out when driving....do i just pull on it real hard?
U should feel it pop in
@@RBTheMechanic ok once I feel it pop in I don't need to tug on it or anything?
I changed my cv axle seal. When I put back my axle, it went all the way in. But how do I know if its locked, and wont fall out if I test drive it?
Dan L well I came across the problem you can’t push the seal all the way in it has happnes to me before you have to push it to make it flush to the housing and it will stay there it will not fall inside because axle will not let it drop in but redu it to make it flush and just out it on proposer spit ... after that all I can say is u set it and forget it just look for leaks for few days after that once no leaks it should stay good!!!
Except you need to do ONE more thing !!!.....the grease is good....but also place the clip so that the opening is either straight up.....or straight down ( for most Toyotas, better open straight down)..... don't let the opening be at 3 oclock or 9 oclock.
Good tip!!!
@@RBTheMechanic.....yeah, I struggled until I found that out. Seems if the "opening" is in the wrong place, the clip "sticks-out" more beyond the shaft splines...and it's almost impossible to push-in until you rotate the unit several times during your "Attempts"...... better to get this right up front !!. Cheers.
I just put that brand Trakmotive CV driveaxle in my vehicle. I am figuring they don’t last but who can confirm that from their own personal experience and not from what they’ve seen on the internet?
I had no issue this vehicle is still running it nonissue
Doesn’t really help when my vehicle is taken apart and I don’t have transmission grease on me
U can stop the work and pick some up
I did today same way with the grease and its work for 10 minutes and the cv axle popped out after one mile and start leaking transmission fluid.
Abd Hamduni I don’t think ur axle was in once it’s snapped in it cannot come out check to see if u have correct size axle
@@RBTheMechanic are those clips not supposed to be reused again. I know they all say that, but eve3wryone seems to do it anyway?
John Doe the clip front of axle comes with new axle
Also there is a video saying, the open end of the clip, should be at the bottom of the spline, I will be putting Vaseline because I know it dissolves, and mite help, just like you pack vaseline into an oil pump after installing a new oil pump, to ensure there is suction of engine oil, when cranking the engine, with the fuel pump fuse or relay out, for 12 seconds, or so.
Yup the opening should be down
Vaseline works just fine,test it with trans oil dissolves well good to go.
Toyota factory service manual agrees.
A video I saw stated the open ends should be at the top (12 o'clock) so they don't hang down at the bottom and catch.
What kind of grease is it, specifically?? I'm honestly about to RIP my hair out with my car lol. The passenger side cv axle is in the transmission and WAS actually flush etc, but with minimal driving, its not anymore and I can't even begin to describe how much I DON'T want to pull it back out again.... I don't want to deal with the mess of leaking gear oil (manual transmission for those who don't know there's a difference in what goes into it,) having to fight with adding more oil to the transmission at the end and above all else, the horrific smell that gear oil has, regardless of whether it's new or not. Good hell its terrible!!!!
Leslie Tolman it’s transmission grease ... u can use regular grease shouldn’t do no harm
@@RBTheMechanic thank you. I've tried this, tried a second brand new CV axle and no matter what, I cannot get this damn thing to go all the way in. Its the passenger side on an 08 scion tc, which does NOT have a little retainer clip. I don't know what the problem is!!!
Leslie Tolman try diff brand I use ac delco. It’s pretty good axles measure the side of the old one and new one check the length size also
ok
What if we dont have that grease ? Im not in a situation where i can just go get some.
Use regular tiny bit shouldn’t be issue
Mine goes in easy but then pops back out when I drive
It can be wrong axle or it didn’t get locked in with retainer I had issue once’s it was short axle soon as I took the car for drive it popped out in 10 ft
Can I use Vaseline?
Lol Noo
Why not just show the container for the grease you used?
Will do next time
@@RBTheMechanic You could always do an update video and link it to this one... a lot of people would find that very helpful.
Can I use antisize
Not on the side where I show that goes inside transmission
It's a good trick. But calling a differential a transmission really doesn't bode well for confidence in a person's advice.
Ok part of transmission
Hummmmmmm.
😋
I've never seen an axle go into a transmission mine is attached to front differential
Well that’s what we mean
You’ve clearly never worked on a fucking GM
Let’s be honest any type of grease will work
Yes any will work but safer to use somthing that will dissolve inside like it suppose to when using transmission grease but I’m definitely gonna keep it real I have used marine grease the red ones tiny tiny tiny bit 🤫
Works every time!
Try it
Yup
Lol nice secret
Can I use Mobile 1 - Full Synthetic Grease from Autozone?
Very tiny amount
Nobody at autozone ever heard of "transmission grease", same with o'Reilly's, nothing called "transmission grease" on either of their websites. Fail :(
Yes there is it resolves with mixture of fluid anyways u can prolly get a tiny bit u need from any transmission repair shops
Watch this guys videos he use it lot maybe not in this video but I seen him use it that’s where I got the idea form of grease czcams.com/video/7u0c50zWWis/video.html
@@RBTheMechanic I believe you that it exists, but maybe under a different name / description? "Transmission grease" I'm guessing is its colloquial name used around the shop.
@@RBTheMechanic Btw, I used your method with simple STP red tacky grease, it worked for me and, volume-wise, isn't so much that I was worried about it dissolving.
@@apollo11capcom39 nice cool!!! No one got to know there’s no harm I did it on my car!!! Been running for years
Didn't help at all
Try again dosent hve to be one attempt
Great video, thanks. No offense, but it's called a "trans-mission", not a "tran-mission"

He obviously has a hispanic accent. Some parts of english words just don't get said especially if Spanish origin language is a large part of their day or first language. Take it from someone that has spent alot of time in Mexico and the boarder. It just happens so don't be too hard on someone about perfect annunciation.
Who cares
