Hey I just changed my cv axles and I drove it for about 2 weeks now and realized I had this leak will I still have to put a whole new cv axle in again when I do this repair? Please let me know love the videos so much help
Please let me know when you can
This is a great video, Ford has an updated kit With a Teflon coated bushing, al8z-3b414-b . I borrowed the blind hole puller from AutoZone number 27128, and the bearing and seal driver kit from O’Reillys 67034. The job took an hour and a half and so far so good no leaks.
@@shaunortman8544 hey shaun how did you achieve pulling the bearing with the blind hole puller? auto zone doesnt' supply that loaner tool anymore so I got the harbor freight one. but since theres no backing on the bearing I don't know where to seat the puller... spreading the puller seems to just force the bearing tighter inside.
Mr. FordTechMakuloco, I want to say thank you for your expertise. I completed the removal and replacement of the CV AXLE bushing on my 2006 Ford Escape. You were right on the money about the time it would take to get that round little suckered out of the housing. Of course, you are faster than I am. I can't express my gratitude in thanking you. I did it exactly how you outline the whole procedure. The check is in the mail. Thank you so very much for your dedication to help the DIY'ERS!
Watching you work is such a pleasure. Clean, clean, clean. Check, check, check. Patient and thorough. Outstanding video work as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to share!
My neighbor has an 07 that I found this exact problem on yesterday. I thought he was bound for the tranny shop, but now I'm gonna go ahead and do the repair for him. Thank you for all the details.
Thanks for this video! It took less than an hour to fix mine. Used a small drift punch (tip filed at a slight angle, maybe 15°) to cut two slots in the old bushing and peeled it out of there in just a few minutes with a sharp-tipped pry bar. Getting the new bushing in was a little bit of a challenge because I didn't want to cock it, which of course I did the first time. Used a little emery cloth to curve the edge of the bushing bore to make the insertion easier and went in clean and smooth. Picked up the bushing from Cobra in FL.
Do u think a slide hammer would work
@@freethinker7805 the problem is that the bushing sits flat in the bore at the back, so there's nothing to grab to remove the bushing with a slide hammer. on the other hand, installing the bushing with a slide hammer might be possible, maybe even easier to keep it straight, but i couldn't justify the expense unless you have that tool already. a 16 oz hammer and a socket is all i used.
@@JerewB wat about a pair of snap ring pliers or something that can grab the inside of bushing with a slide hammer on that
@@freethinker7805 nothing for the snap ring pliers to grab, that's the problem. honestly, i don't think there's a better way to do this job than shown in the video.
Thanks so much for this video. This is a real life-saver for my 2008! You did such a great job of explaining this step by step. I can't thank you enough!
You sir are my Idol, lol, I've been told not to attempt to repair things such as this, I have a 2010 Ford Escape with 250,000 miles on it, my current project removing oil pan and pump to clean out, this is how I discovered the axle leak.
Nice work. Thanks for showing us how to use everyday tools to do the job.
This video saves a lot of money. Great fix and didn't have to pull the transmission and tear it apart. Thank you.
Nice fix dude. I have read about this repair but never seen it done until now. I would have thought a bushing removal tool could be used but i guess there is no room back there to grab on to pull it out. Thumbs up!
I did this service and it works great, 500 miles so far and no wobble on the half shaft. it's tight and no leak.
Big help. Just completed this repair. Repair went as instructed.
This video is so informative.. I have this exact issue with my rebuilt cd4e in my 07 mariner. Good to know this issue can be fixed
Dude, that was a sweet repair !
Tks, I just ordered everything. Hoping to try this repair next week.
that was the best video ever very good job, with all info you need TY Brian really knows what he is doing and can explain it well
Love your videos!!! Good clear and concise.
I’m a simple man.
I could watch excellent car repair videos all day.💪👍
Huge time and money saver, thanks.
Love all the vids u make in take time to show others.
Thanks so much for this! Man, this has been leaking and wearing my half shaft since I paid a trans shop to replace the bushing and seal..they didn't, Only replaced the seal outside the vehicle while I was putting a new motor in my 05. Charged me $200 for shit! Thanks again, excellent video!!
Awesome work! Now, being that two years have passed Is there an update on if this repair held up or if it eventually had to be redone or the transmission rebuilt?
great videos. I need some help on a 03 ford expedition 5.4L keeps saying check ADVTRAC and can't find to see if I need to replace a sensor or a cable.
Started my career as a Ford tech back in the early 80s. Boy did they build some real junk back then. Went to Toyota and stayed there 25 yrs. Good luck in a very tough business.
Super job on this one!
awesome video. would this be similar in a ranger 4x4 however mine is a 2010 has anything changed? I'm hoping that the have left enough room behind for an expanding arbor slide hammer tool.
Awesome video, especially thanks for posting up parts numbers!!
i have a 05 ford escape xlt 3.0l. i followed ur video on replacing the CV axle, seal and bushing. i still cant find the bushing where can i get one?
Thank you very much, You are a great technician. I enjoyed the video.
Hi, In my 2009 FEH left axle plays up and down when I checked it, but no leaks. what would be a reason? and should I change bushing if it doesn't leak? thank you
I have a bearing like noise front passenger side. Replaced wheel bearing which is now silky smooth but noise is still there. I pulled the whole drive shaft including intermediate shaft. The carrier bearing flange wiggles a bit back and forth, is that normal? I put my finger inside the transmission where the shaft goes and I felt a good bit of up and down play on the internal splines is that normal?
well done - I like the way you work.
Another Excellent Video. Bruddah you look extremely exhausted. Hope all is OK with you and the clan. Take Carez Big Man.
Dude you are a great teacher....
The CV axle broke on my wife's 03 escape, replaced the axle but it never felt like it seated no matter what I did. I put it all back together and drove it down the road and back, tore it back down and checked to see if CV axle was seated and it seemed to be. I put it back together and seemed fine. I drove it up on a block so I would have clearance to change the motor oil and trans fluid started pouring out from the seal where the shaft goes in. I backed it off and pulled it back up and no more leak... Drove it a few more miles, including an off-road Hill climb, brought it home and parked it overnight. I got in it this morning to check the trans fluid and it had leaked some overnight in the driveway... Seems that if the axle is in a bind it leaks. Would you think that the seal and bushing is damaged and needs to be replaced too?
a different topic I got a new fuel tank install on my 13 f150 ecoboost and now engine light code P0430 codes is showing you think having the new tank has something to do with the code
are doing the rear brakes with disc the same as the front on a 2006 escape with automatic 4 wheel drive?
I have a question about my 2006 ford escape, 3.0 all wheel drive. Is there a bushing that goes on the front passenger side inside the transmission, if so can you give me some advice on how to replace it. Is it the same type of bushing that goes in the driver side? The driver side bushing doesn't move but the passenger side does and i can not seem to find any information about it. If you could help me, i would appreciate it. thanks.
How has the Ford 5.0 in the truck been holding up? I haven't really heard much. I'm looking at one. I don't want to deal with the ecoboost problems
Excellent video as always. Besides a leaking seal, would a high speed shimmy be a symptom of a worn bushing? How about using a dremel to cut the bushing?
Chey man was wondering if you have any suggestions... I have a light clunking sound when power goes to the rear end of my 2014 mustang gt, rear end seems fine, but I'm curious if something in the drive line has become loose... let me know if you have any suggestions have any questions to help I'll supply the answers
I have a 2010 Fusion with a g6m manual transmission. The transmission seal was leaking on the drivers side cv shaft. The repair shaft replaced the seal but said there was a pretty good groove on another part, not the cv shaft. I am thinking they were talking about the bushing now. They could not find the part from Ford, so transmission is still leaking. Would you think this bushing is what they are referring too?
Thanks
great video, thanks
Hi mate, I just watched your other video on this seal. I am in Australia and have a Mazda Tribute 2005 3.0 and I have fluid leaking from the right hand side seal where the CV Drive shaft enters the transmission. Is it the same deal left or right? Also where can I get this seal repair kit with bushing if its the same as the left?
Question. Im doing this repair the bushing was paper thin and the trans side of the shaft was beat up. I have a new shaft my question is does the bushing end up into the sprocket or close to it?
good info, nice job!
Just purchased the bushing and the axle seal from Cobra Transmissions website. A local Transmission shop said that they would most likely have to pull out the transmission to replace this bushing which would have cost thousands. Now I have about 2 weeks available over Christmas to get this repair done. If it doesn't work or I break something, I could be screwed but if it does I will be very happy.
How'd it go for you? I have the same issue, starting on it this week.
@@philcollin5891 it worked! It wasn’t easy, but I was able to get it done. The hardest part was putting the new bushing in perfectly straight without me having a bushing press. I bought two of the new bushings so I could fail once and be fine. Now it doesn’t leak and is all back together with no issues
What is the part number of the seal
Are you there
Now would the notch in the bushing piece your pressing back into it is it 12 o'clock as its re set into the space of the axle in the transmission?
Hi, when i took my halfshaft out the bushing came out with it and it is very loose on the shaft and loose in the case. does this mean inside the case worn out too? if i order a new bushing will it fit tight?
I am experiencing this same problem. oil leak started. thanks Makuloco and other users for the information on tools to use plus car parts link to buy.
Thank you for taking the time to do that in rel time
Wasn't there a TSB for this, in which Ford recommends a special kit to fix this issue once and for all?
Getting ready to do this to my CD4E. I have a new bushing and rebuilt drive shaft. I checked the bushing on the shaft and its not real tight fit. I would think it would be a pretty snug fit. Was yours like that?
I bought a 03 Ford escape and it looks like the shaft twisted and the pump broke the gear in center but did it hurt the converter because put it back together and the car won't move I think they broke convertor with misalghing shaft
Amazing job there Good Sir.
Great channel always see it
What a great help. Thanks!
Mr . I got one 07 2.3 you tink the engine fit from hybrid and transmission? Same as 2.3
Hello, I have a 2013 Ford Escape 2.0L that has the same output shaft leak I wondering if you know the sleeve part# for repairing the problem appreciate thanks you so much.
Desperate. Please help. What transaxle/ptu is in my 2006 Escape XLS 5-speed 4WD? it looks nothing like the Mazda G5M in the FWD models and, the passenger side half shaft does NOT pass through the ptu.
Where can u get the seals for the passenger side on a 06 escape 4wd
Need to replace the transmission mount on my 99 ford contour v6 automatic.
Any video available?
Any idea what the bushing and seal is for the right passenger side?
Thanks for the video! Where are you located and how much would you charge to do this?
I ordered my parts should be here in a couple days wish me luck😀
I have a ford escape 2011 xlt 2.5l the same Problem ..do the part fit my to
great thanks for the video it was a help👍
Hi, do you know, does is there a bearing instead of sleeve in 2.0 engine transmission?
I currently have a Humming noise coming from there. I thought it was the wheel bearing so change it but noise is still there. but no leakage from seal
Nice repair. I hope my '02 Escape will not need it though. :)
Could you tack weld a bolt to the edge of the bushing seam and just turn it away from the housing to remove it?
Very Nice Video! my daughter 2006 Escape has that issue put two seals in it and still leaks Looking for the Part # Shaft and Seal and bushing or anything else you would need when it is tore apart and where do you recommend getting them? Thanks for your Help!
Everything you need is linked to in the video description.
Well I changed just the seal and it was fine for about a week, now leaking again.... it looks like I have to change the bushing and 1/2 shaft.
I'm just nervous to cut out the old bushing, I actually chewed up the seal aluminum a little🙁 but I watched another video and the guy said it's ok if u mess up a little in the outside for the seal since it seals in the inside!!!
Any tips would be great on the bushing, is there a point in the bushing were there is a Seam?
Any point is ok when using the bushing cutter listed. There is a seam but it is a tongue and groove style so that wont help.
Nice job.. brother
Thank You!!
Nice job.
wow thanks thats just what my mazda is doing and after pulling the axle the bushing came out with it didn't know what it was till i saw your post awsome can you tell me where you got the bushing and does the passenger side have the same kind of bushing if so where did you get the chissle you used and the bushing tool thanks alot very informative and useful
Anyone know if you can replace the pump cover on these mines rusted out
Flip that socket to give a better drive surface. I use it that way so the edge of socket doesn't do edge of bushing nicking. This reminds me of the right side support kit for older Taurus. Same problem over again. Some things never change with Ford.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
I have replaced my seal a couple times now. Usually holds for a couple years. I now suspect the bushing is also bad, but am wondering if bad motor mounts are the cause.
I would think that the CV needs to be replaced as well.
A little trick I've used in the past, on those sort of things, is to shrink the bearing, by placing it in the freezer over night.
+Andrew Offord Definitely a good idea I just didn't have that option on this mobile call
THIS VIDEO SAVED MY ASS THANK YOU !!!
+Noisy Majority Great to hear!
Is the bushing put in the raceway that is inside a bearing? Is that why the bushing is put in place with loctite? Does the G5M-R 5 speed manual transmission have a similar setup? The seal look different. Does the standard/manual transmission use the same bushing? Sorry for all the questions, there is not much out there on the 5 speed trans.
I have a '01 Escape 4cyl with the 5-speed manual trans. Any advice or tips?
We have a 2005 Escape that we got for our daughter and it has this issue. At least it is not an expensive repair.
Trouble is finding a shop to do it.
What size of metal bushing does the Mazda tribute take
Will this work for a 2002 escape? And if I freeze the bushing do I put it in frozen?
+Joe Thomas yes it will and if you freeze it you install it frozen
Hope the works for my 06 mazda tribute
and which one is for ford escape xlt 02 3.0 seal transmission axle
How do you change axle seal on passenger side
my 08 escape hybrid passenger side is leaking fluid like a mofo, i guess i'm looking at something like this >___< I can't seem to find a CVT specific exploded guide or walk through.
I have a 2006 Escape XLT 2.3L and have read differing views on replacing the whole axle. Some say you have to remove the transmission but this video makes me think you can replace it and the bushing without doing that. Is that correct? And is there an end to end video on replacing the driver's side CV axle?
I have a 2007 XLT 2.3 I just did it myself it works well I'm still working on it I'm about to put the bearing in but I used to flat state long driver bit
I'm about to attempt this on my '08 escape
could this not be done carefully with a dremel tool in two spots and then it'll fall right out?
What stamp does my car have? Ford escape xlt 02 3.0
I followed this instruction and replaced my leaking front driver shaft!
hi i have 09 expedition .have c1165 c1155 u1901 need ur help..
Will this repair work for a 2003
you ever think of putting the bushing in the freezer first? To shrink the molecules. we used to do it years ago when putting new sleeves in an engine
+Kevin Wise it was a mobile call so no option here
nice.
I think this is what happened to my 05 escape. I just pulled the knuckle along with the axle out and the bushing it's just hanging on the axle shaft.
