In this video I show you how to reinstall a CV Axle that wont pop back in using a simple method that worked for me after wasting so much time trying other ways.
This was it! I was doing it on a 98 Cherokee with a solid axle so same thing except no boots so I had to use a hammer on the end. The reason it took me hours to finally get it in was because I was afraid of beating it too hard because it’s far from pleasant doing the axle seals if I was to have damaged them. I’ll see later on if I did or didn’t. It’s an exciting step towards getting her ready for an alignment (wheel hub and ball joints) and getting new tires. Right now she’s not highway worthy because it has a built in 50mph warning i.e death wobble.
I removed the shock but used big 2 lbs hammer that i used to sit front wheel bearings. I had my father in law tapping at the end while I keep it straight. It did went all the way in sit nicely against the transmission. I think you cam damage the bearing if you yank and hit it up like your method.
What are the odds that we are working on the same exact vehicle. I changed the strut and didn’t want to remove it again… , the little wood block is crucial, it helps the axle sit parallel and flush. I tried a couple hours, as soon as I put the block it went in within the first 2 minutes!
It’s 2 am and I spent the last 6 hours trying to get this axle in. Nobody helped like your video did. Thanks man
You’re very welcome, knowing my videos help people is why I do this. Thank you.
Yo! Your video is a lifesaver. Thanks for the tips and all the best!

Thanks, mine won't go in. I was just afraid of damaging anything so that's why I didn't go all gorilla on it but I guess I gotta go full gorilla
