- I had to replace the axle so I recorder it for you guys. Some of you may be afraid to get your hands dirty working on cars cause you don't know how. In this video I am showing you how I did it so you have an idea how to do it yourself.

I appreciate being able to see the procedure before I dig into it. I'm a auto mechanic and certificated aircraft mechanic so I appreciate watching you and your boy working on the car, start'em young to be self sufficient! Even I have discovered a loose bolt until I go over it again.
Great video brotha. Well put together and very informative. It's even better because you had you son working and learning with you...😎👌🏾🔥🔥🔥
Awesome, thank you so much!!
@@sumcrazydude No problem Merry Christmas 🎄🎁😎
Thanks and a Merry Christmas to you as well
Lots of great tips. Great video funny as heck. Especially the ex files. Thanks for your time
Thanks 🇺🇸
Good vid. Sweet ride. My father has a red Challenger Scat, I never really looked at them too much until I purchased my Charger Scat, but this one is really good on the eyes
Thanks
pull that e brake cable.. The reason it becomes hard to pull out and the reason the hub will not lean forward anymore is the e-brake cable. and the reason for terrible uneven tread wear is the wheel spacers.
Thank you captain obviousness, I would have never figured without you.
Watched your vid thought it was gonna be easy like how you did, mines 09 300c srt8 and found out axels are thicker and don't flex too well on the cv joint, after a freekin struggle I found it was easier to drop the suspension arm, leave on bottom bolt connecting hub assembly to suspension arm and take off everything else, all thanks to your vid bro, hope you still rocking a Hemi
U know it!! I appreciate the support and I am glad to hear that my video helped you. Yes I still have a Hemi, I have 2017 Charger Pursuit AWD V8
Thanks for making the video man! I did a diff swap on my 15 charger rt(upgraded to a scat pack lsd diff) and my right side is leaking oil, think i didnt get the axle to seat all the way in.
Thanks again ima do this just to get my axle to go all the way in.
Thank you for the support
Great real video showing actually truth thanks for information 👍
Great video 👍🏽 lots of information
Thanks for the support 😀
I knew there had to be another way other than removing the rear differential. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome thanks for your support 👍 😀
is this an all wheel drive?
Took you 2 hours, But how much in ''Labor Costs'' did you save yourself?
Helpful! Thank You! And not looking forward to doing this right now 😂
Thanks for the view, make sure hydrated before doing this as it will drain you lol
At 5:55 (Hub Nut removal) next time, put another floor jack under the lower control arm (slight pressure) and it'll come off easier. Nice trick with the sway bar. Enjoy working with your son while it lasts.
Thanks
You make it look easy
I need to look at my 300s hopefully it's just bearing/hub replacing
Thanks but is not easy, it takes patience 🙂
Very helpful 👌
Thanks 😊
Ready to go
I'm thinking if you put the jack under the control arm then pulled out the shock bolt and lowered the jack you could do it without prying. Alot easier than dropping the diff like the pros say.
True that
@SÍLAS_5.7 what?
Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Really appreciate it.
My oil seals on these axels are leaking. Can you do a video on how to replace them? Or, can you provide some tips?
Sadly I no longer own this car. But thanks for your support 😀
@@sumcrazydude did you trade it in?
@@Ac3Mustang yes
@@sumcrazydudefor a ford? 😂
I have a 2012 dodge charger rt, that vibrates when accelerating, breaking, and backing up. Any idea if it's associated with cv joints or drive shaft?
It's probably your driveshaft center carrying bearing, the rubber around it gave up
Warped rotors will make it shake when braking also...
Good stuff
Thanks for the support 🙏 🙌
Did you replace the oil that leaked out if so with weekday and how?
I did but didn't recorded it, I am sure there a few video out there that explain how 😁
Do you think taking the shocks would make it easier?
It could but I didn't tried that
What type of grease did you use for this? Did you do anything about the ABS sensor?
Did not used any grease and I replaced the sensors. 😁
@@sumcrazydude currently trying it right now but the ring part will not budge we bought a axel remover and still no budge
@@silas_5.776 rotate, wiggle and pry
How was the orielly replacement quality, how long did it last? Masterpro or precision?
This was done so long time ago I do not remember but I do remember that if your car is lowered, it will tear up the grease boot.
I need to replace a ring in one on my axles. Cause ABS sensor is killing me and don't get fixed for replace it. This ring is replaceable? or need change the whole axle?
Ring is replaceable if you get an undamaged one to install.
@@sumcrazydude Thanks brother, I couldn't find de ring at any store so I bought the whole axle. Now I'm looking for dismantle all there for replace it. Dont even the dealer have those rings only online and I wasn't sure if they fit
Hey do you have the link to we’re you purchased that axel of oreily ? I’ve been looking everywhere for one
Buy the hellcat one, that's the one I bought
Ok I’ve been told that it has to be the one for the 5.7 so that’s not true the 6.2 will fit fine ?
@@DreGoated mind the fact that my car was a 2015 and I bought a 2015 hellcat axle. What I found out was that if you lower the car the axle may pop out cause it's slightly shorter than a 5.7 axle
@@sumcrazydude ohh ok last question so if I’m not lowered would it be possible I could still go with a hellcat axle ?
I don't see why not.
What size socket did you use for the axle nut?
That I do not remember, I rented a axle nut socket set from the auto parts store
Ok thank you anyways. Very informative video by the way gave me confidence to do the job myself. It took me a few months to finally find out what that terrible noise was in the rear of my challenger. How many times have you had to change your rear cv axles?
2 times 😅
Hi HEMI Addicted...was there any C-Clips on the axle at the hub? Was this a limited slip diff?
No, inside the diff at end of the CV axle is a CV joint lock ring witch it should unlock with enough pull force when removing the axle. Yes my Challenger had a LSD .
@@sumcrazydude Thanks...same as front axle on my Toytota 4-WD pickup. Was that tire wear from burnouts or rear alignment issue?
Burnouts 😅
@@sumcrazydude Do you use any traction control/electronic stability control when you do them
No, I would normally turned everything off
Great job brother 👏
I have this clicking noise coming from the rear driver side wheel-well area. Clicks when I put it in gear or reverse from idle. Also clicks as I brake or accelerate from a dead stop. Yall think it's the CV axle? 2015 5.7L 89K miles
Sounds like a bad CV axle, mine sounded same before it broke
@@sumcrazydude I thought so too. I need to get that fixed before I install this procharger I got sitting in the garage past month lol appreciate the video brotha!!!
How did you remove the locking clip
There is no need to remove the locking clip.
My rear cv axle boot is leaking grease, it’s the boot that’s connected to the diff, can this ruin my transmission and diff ?
If the grease is leaking from the boot of the axle itself, this will only affect the longevity of the axle and nothing else.
@@sumcrazydude gotcha thanks for responding !
Thanks for the support 🙏
is it common for challengers to have the left rear axle to go out?? like making clicking noises and such?
been having the issue, and replacing the axle soon
Seems that way
@@sumcrazydude is that the reason you replaced yours?
@@miguelangelcazales3120 I replaced mine because it broke, before broke it made clicking noises
What is the axle part number and spline? Im having trouble getting the correct axle from oreilly
I don't know what car you have
Mine is a 2009 with a getrag upgrade. I found the mopar axle number today. No aftermarket available thats the correct spline
I used a hellcat axle pn so I don't know how can that help you since my car was a 2015
@@sumcrazydude mine has a 2015 rear center section. I ordered 35 spline hubs so I think tge axle you used will work on mine now
Mine has a 32 spline at the rearend is that the same as yours?
Also was that cv a 32 spline cv i think is same as for srt8 charger 2014!!! Not sure tho ! Post cv link if u can ty much vid was super nice nd job was super clean too👍🏼😊
Thanks for the support, I don't have a link for the cv sorry
@@sumcrazydude ok may b pn nd or do u inw if is a 32 spline cv
Where did u get ur axel at ?
O'Reilly auto parts
My friend is getting inside wear on the rear tires... just like at the beginning of the video... what could be some issues? At 2:38
Wheel alignment is key. For a sample on my car, my car was lowered and it made it have camber and toe, I liked the camber the way it is but the toe was the tire killer and it could not be fix with OEM parts. There is aftermarket products out there than can help you get best alignment to prevent fast tire wear.
I don’t have a challenger but I am build a 56chev with that diff and I have the driver side axle rusted up and seized to the knuckle! At this point thinking easier to snatch a replacement assembly out of a junk yard. Less work.
You must be trying to restomod or track build 🤔. Nice BTW I would love to see it one day.
Where did you find the axle ! I been looking for a new one for the past month and I haven’t found any I need help
O'Reilly Auto Parts my friend, they have em cheap and good 👍
Wait what !? Really do you have the part number or item number !
HEMI Addicted you’re car is a 6 speed right !?
Yes is a 6 speed manual 😎

Was it making clinking noises when it broke...
Yup during turns but the ball cage never broke, the shaft is what broke
So far how are they treating you any issues?
They were great, no issues after this one was installed. I don't have the car anymore so I don't really know if any changes.
Thanks for the imput man ..one more things did you have to transfer any seal from the old to new ones?
Nope
Hey sir srry i know you dnt have the chally no more lol but how did u remove the c clips from the axles u just pryd it out or tapped the axle to shake it off?
Did you have the vehicle lowered?
Yes, it is 😁
@@sumcrazydude I commented before the end of the video. Amazing video I am having an issue with premature wear too and I will need to replace my drive axle too. Any recommendations you did not show on the video?
Just to take the lower control arm bolt out, it will make it easier for you
@@sumcrazydude Do not take out the middle bolt right above?
Yes, remove everything i said to remove plus the bottom control arm bolt too
I always use my wife to grab my axle and put it in the hole.
I need to bring my car to you!! My tires wear out on the inside & i end up having to buy tires every 2-3 weeks. I need your number 😢
Lol, how does replacing an axle will fix your tires?
I should of been more in depth lol i took it to a guy who told me it was my axle that’s bent/broken.. the same issue you noticed when your son took off your wheel, is the same thing that happens to my dodge charger when i catch a flat. I mean your the mechanic here.. so i was really looking for some guidance but ok ill find help elsewhere, geesh
hey brother I had a t bone collision my rear wheel got inside a lil bit can I have your email so that I can shoot you a video need help asap
Hit me up on Instagram
Those welds lol
Lol
Bro wtf? You didn’t even grease the axel spline inside of the differential. You also didnt use a new axel bolt when u change a CV axel joint. U also forgot to torque those bolts. This why I don’t do back yard mechanics. As a Sr Quality Engineer it is very important to have someone smarter than you or as smart as you go over the axel, differential, bolts, damage inspection, loose bolts, missing bolts etc.
U care too much, it's a car, not a rocket.
@TeW33zy - Wrong choice of words. He's just enjoying the day with his son and sharing it with us. No one is being forced to watch the video. I watched it to get an idea of how to approach the job, not for step by step tutorial for an ASE test. I got what I was looking for, and I thank him for that
Air tools could’ve been handy for this job
Yes but I am broke broke lol
I use electric tools for everything
@@sumcrazydude is this an all wheel drive or rear wheel drive?
@Loyalty this is a Challenger R/T they only come in RWD. I did made a video on replacing the front axles on my Current Charger that is AWD.
Goes to show its not just mustangs. 😂 High hp rwd cars, and goof balls driving them. Mustangs are just super popular so you see it more often.
