New Axle Wont Fit

- I tackle a common problem with aftermarket CV axles involving the retaining ring. Many times this ring will be misshapen or to large in diameter, causing the axle to not slide into the differential/transaxle.

Working on my 06 Eclipse gt V6 & encountered the same issue with an aftermarket axle for the driver side. Thanks you came in clutch 🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ahh such an easy solution. I was battling this problem for hours last weekend. Didn't even think to get the torch out. Thanks for the solution 👍
Sad you should have to effectively anneal the temper right out of the end of the axle (not a good idea in general), but given the absolute lack of quality control in parts now, it's probably the least bad solution out there. And it's not just aftermarket parts that are junk now, even OEM is going downhill. Thanks for sharing your approach.
Thanks man, it's a life saver. I needed it for an outer CV joint, but it's the same idea.
Your a life saver, had to change out the hub bearings and cv joints on my 14 ram 1500 and the snap rings were my problem. But damn sure this made it work. Good shit bro
Wish I had seen this before... I had the same issue though I just took off the ring and closed it with pliers til it was around the right diameter to go in took around 1hr and kinda tedious .... It works but I like your way better.......
I really didn't think you were going to help me. But this is the trick I used to make the circlip a little bit smaller. It still has tension and didn't slide right in. But now it fits and it didn't before.
Great tip thank you so much for sharing this important information
Thank you !! also great trick for IRS mustang cobra
Dude you f'n ROCK!!
Holy shit brother you a good man
Was able to do this without the heat, probably was risking ruining the threads of the axle but I just pinched the ring with some pliers and it worked enough to get it in.
Thanks for the info much need my mann!!!
@lehewtech undertaking this project soon. I received a differential that was missing the axel shaft like you are working on. Once I put the clip in place, the whole unit just slides in until it clicks into place? Any good videos showing how to install? Thanks!!!
Hey, is this a solution for the axle going half into place, and popping out?
Worked for me, thanks!
Did help abit had an aftermarket with an odd notched ring, but even with this i could not push it in.
So i took a risk and used a long wood piece and a hammer lightly tap the inner axel outer flat area against the boot 6 light taps and it locked....wood is nice
Dame impossible as 1 person it acted like a spring.
Looks like DSM axles. Ran into this exact issue today
Question, my car cv axle been making noise when I jacked it up to see what's going on, cv axle is lose and dont lock in park mode on driver side but passengers side locks. Shouldn't both be locked in parking mode?
genius. cant believe i didnt think of using the torch
Biscuits batman! My new axle hangs out like a 1/4 inch. Looks like its time to rip it back out and try this. 🤞
Hey, quick question for you. When you had issues before re sizing the ring, would the CV Axle not slide into differential at all? Or would it bind up like 1mm before all the way inserted? Thanks
It would go in almost all the way, but not *click* into fully installed position.
@@LehewTech my car is having an issue similar it driver side shaft goes almost all the way in but just slides back out like an 8th of an inch... think it could be the ring?.... i removed driver side first then passenger and installed passenger first and now driver side wont lock up to the transmission... idk im lost... 06 toyota avalon
@Matt-ix6ne so I’m having the same problem where it wouldn’t slide in at all wondering if this fixed it or what did you end up doing?
I’m having the same issue on my 1998 Lexus es300.
Hopefully once I get the chance I’m gonna try this out and see if I can finally get this thing back on the road.
Worked for me, great vid man thanks for the help!
My problem is that the spline with lock ring is on transmission side not on cv axle. So the ring is very close to the seal.
Did you find a solution?
Yes I got tired of it got a hammer and beat it on.
My axle went in but leaked. I tried 9 times. could the retaining clip be the problem as it does look funky
No try replacing the seal
I did that. I finally put the old axle back in and no leak. @@LehewTech
I would measure the old and new axles diameter where the seal rises, it's possible that the new axle is slightly smaller.. could be the wrong axle
copy will do. Gratitude. @@LehewTech
Luke Koleas dame problem on my wife’s Kia. New seals. New axles and still leaks Seals flush
Worked like a fuckin charm 🐐
I would just put more Grease on it .
Can anyone assist with an AXLE SHAFT that will NOT come out. It's Moving, just not coming out. I have done this numerous times and never had one this Stubborn. This post is excellent.. soon as I get the bad one OUT!
What is the year make and model? How are you removing it? Here is a video I made on a challenging axle removal: czcams.com/video/n3xB5fl2mrY/video.html
Wouldn't it be fine without it?
No, without it the axle will fall out
It would probably be okay to drive, considering the hub assembly, the retaining nut, the tie rod end, the sway bar end link, and the strut assembly all work together to hold it in. Many cars do not have this C clip. Some do. But it's more of a safety device in case all the other components which hold it in fail at the same time.
The clip is absolutely necessary in order for the axle stub to be secure in the transmission/differential assembly.
@@LehewTech how does it secure the axle in when you install it you push it in or pull the old out with the ring in place. You don't install the clip after installing the axle, it's in there when you shove the axle in. So how it hold the axle when a slight tug makes it come out
Hmm so you have just changed the heat treatment to the stub axle. it will now be brittle and shear
1 in every crowd! It's you! Maybe it's the angle of the dangle?? Lol
good point, maybe put it on a mandrel, and hammer it to a smaller size using a brass or plastic mallet, to be sure it stays concentric
The stub axle is too large to get heated significantly by a torch over such a short period. The stub would have to get over 1300f. The reason it works on the snap ring is because it is 1/1000th the mass of the axle and so it heats up quite fast.
@@filonin2 Not true my guy. Look at the color of the stub before and after. The surface turns blue from formation of oxides above 300 C. And because that retaining ring groove is only say 0.060" deep, alot of the material associated with it has now had the temper adversely affected. Just because the core hardness doesn't change does not imply the performance of the part isn't affected.
And itll slide right out
even after removing the ring it still doesn't go into the diff
How does it compare to the original axle in diameter and number of splines?
I removed the diff and beat tf out of it, somehow worked
@@peytonfleming7953 😂
Keep the ring centered on the shaft. Watch this one: czcams.com/video/8s8VZShBB5k/video.html
