    For anyone curious, a cv boot expander is only around $70(US). The CV axle is only about $60-$90. Even with renting basic tools, you're still HUNDREDS of dollars less than a mechanic. I love youtube.

      Would you just replace the hole axle or buy the boot? I've replaced an axle before, in fact, a little over a year ago, and while inspecting my brakes a few weeks ago, I discovered grease flung everywhere due to a torn boot. My guess is it's from running something over on the highway ( I have a few times since the axle replacement), and my under-body panels have been off due to them gradually tearing apart.
      How long is too long for the book to be ripped?

      Because it's easier and the driveshop take the old one and rebuild them better than a mechanic can. The mechanic also doesn't have to worry about throwing away old axles. They're recycled. What you're paying for is labor plus this recycling cost.

Sometimes it can be a pita especially if the shaft is on the car, if you don't have a mate handy you might be able to get zip ties round a resonance block or something to hold the shaft in, if you take it out you might need to top up your gear box oil some spill some don't so have a container underneath incase and then top up the same amount that came out or better yet drain and refill the transmission!

    What else can be worn in the CV Axle besides the boot. I found that on line the following: The frequency of replacing CV axles depends on how often you drive your car and on the driving conditions that the car goes through on a regular basis1. Some vehicles don’t even require CV axle replacement until their tenth year. I've replace on our 2003 Chevy Cavalier PS CV Axle just bcs of the age and mileage (~110 K). With the DS I struggle, since very limited space around. I think maybe to leave that Axle, nothing wrong with it. But from another side it is old. I would appreciate any opinion on this question. Thank you for the great and detailed film. I saw that tool to put a boot on, but didn't know how to use it till this film.

    • @InTheVise
      @InTheVise  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Thanks😀 You can hear noise when you turn hard in slow speed if it is any play in the cv joint. As long as the boot is ok, and enough grease, they lasts forever. Many replace the hole axle and joints when the boot tears. And they replace it with cheap aftermarket Chinese parts that doesn’t hold up for a very long time. My old car, VW T4, ran almost 500000km (310.000 miles) with the stock cv joints. I only replaced the boots and grease a couple of times.

      @@InTheVise Thank you for so quick replay. Our Chevy had a humming noise in the area of engine, so on the PS. But it came only when driving 15mph or more. The sound was like smth heavy and not centered started to rotate, and that uneven angular motion caused it. The was no sound at Idling, and the sound never changed when you shift gears at driving. After ~59mph it was almost the same, like automatic weapon. Sometimes turning left it could be heard whining sound, but not that typical knocking sound, which indicates bad CV Axle. How I know that sound, it was like that on another our car (2001 Saturn SL2, it had ~120K at that time). I replaced both CV Axles on Saturn and the problem gone. So I still hope that the hamming sound on Chevy related to some suspension problem and not the engine, like Connecting Rod(s). I have TRQ CV Axles, TRQ is pretty good company I think, I bought many parts from them, everything works fine. I've read somewhere that worn strut can make some noise. On Chevy there was only one leaking (on the rear DS), but I'm replacing all of them of course (just Front DS is left). And another thing, maybe you know, can a broken Radiator Cooling Fan make that type of hamming sound. I replaced radiator there and saw that the fan didn't work, so replaced the motor in it. Thank you again.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the bolts were over-torqued since they were done up with a rattle gun and then only checked with a torque wrench. The bolts should have been spun up and then finally tightened with a torque wrench to the specified torque that would certainly have seen movement with the torque wrench. All that is shown here is that the bolts have been tightened to at least the specified torque and are probably tighter that may have gone beyond the bolts yield limit. Note also that the bolt threads have not been cleaned so that any torque applied will be inaccurate.

      It would probably cost about 14 times as much and how can it be easier ?. You can replace the outer boot in less than an hour without this expensive tool or the special flexi boot. Once you've removed the shaft/cv from the hub the cv joint is only held on by a circlip. Flex the clip with circlip pliers and the joint will slide off followed by the rubber boot. Put the new boot on the shaft and clean and inspect the removed join and then re pack with grease. The joint will then just slide back on to the the shaft and click into place.

    Nice video, but few words to add. I can't say this is the easies method, because of a special tool, that was used to install the stretchy boot. You don't actually need this tool, it is easy to remove the cv-jount from the shaft, normally secured by a circlip. @5.25 grease was not applied properly. you actually must force the grease inside the cv joint, not just squeeze it allover. This cv joint is not greased properly.

      I agree. He'd already done the hard part and all was left to do was get the circlip pliers on it. Usually it comes away easily and the old boot will slide off without any cutting. You can then inspect and clean the joint thoroughly and pack it with grease. I've done many in my time. I think this was a bit overkill.

      Depending on how much you are willing to pay. A cheap shop would just use a foldable boot. Quick and easy but very short warranty or no warranty at all. Less tha $50 USA. The expensive one would just replace the whole shaft for longevity and durability. About at least $120 in labor. Part cost depends on OE or not.

      De kan sitte ganske godt. Og vanskelig å komme til når akslingen er på bilen. På noen biler begynner giroljen å renne ut hvis du tar av akslingen på girkassen. Og man kan risikere å skade simmerringen. Men det er absolutt en fordel å ta av drivknuten, og bruke en mansjett som er av høyere kvalitet. Som holder lenger enn de man utvider så mye. Spesielt her i Norge med kalde temperaturer. Også enklere å rense og legge nytt fett. Det finnes spesielle avdragere for å ta av drivknuten. Jeg skulle egentlig gjøre det på bilen min. Kjøpte avdrager på Biltema. Men den er akkurat litt for smal til drivknutene på VW T5, som i videoen.
