I have an X3 and the trick is to make sure the opening of the hog ring is at 12 o'clock. I saw this on another video and it works like a charm!
I think the circlip is usually the culprit when it comes to installation issues. Try to keep the axle as straight as possible. Use some grease to hold the circlip centered on the axle. If you still can not get the axle in you may want to consider removing the circlip and see if the axle goes in properly without it. If it then goes in properly, at least you have verified that the circlip is related to the issue and not something else. If you have to beat the axle in, there is an issue. If it doesn't fit there is a reason. Figure out the reason instead of resorting to brute force.
TRY THIS IF YOUR IN A PINCH! Step 1 Rip the axle out. Step 2 cut the boot off the axle you just removed. Step 3 insert the axle right back into the thing your trying to remove. Step 4 put locking pliers on the thing your trying to remove and lock down the pliers as tight as you can. Step 5 slam the axle back and forth against the locking pliers until it pulls out.
I usually just talk nice to it and if that don't work the big words start coming out and of course the customer always happens to be standing be right behind you😂😂😂

Yes that was a good hint I done replaced my axles on a 2008 PT Cruiser it's wearing the tires out on the inside and is also wearing the bearings out 2008 PT Cruiser
After replacing my Axel on my 2003 toyoda Avalon I started my car and put it in gear but it's making a clanking noise when I put it in from park to drive but not in reverse and I can move in reverse but not drive what do you think it can be
Thanks for the video is this applicable for both cv axles on right and left when making sure it's all the way in?
Got it done
What was that hammer tool

Nice! I pretty much did this when I changed my axle. Keep up the good vids
Great video!👍
All right dude.. I like your style.....vital information..at least (I think) I did the best I could.. I look forward to future videos ...
Thanks man. Hog ring was out of round I can clearly see where it’s hitting - bet it’ll slide the rest of the way when fixed
2004 Honda CRV put in the driver side CV axle it's grinding in reverse can you help
Had a light bearing sound passenger side. Shortly later it became a lour clunking, shortly later i bust down, 3 out of 6 lug nuts torn off. Replace lower arm/ball/rod end, new bearing, new hub, still clunking again! The sound is coming from near the rotor. Double checked brakes. Ok. This cv axle was replaced 1 year ago under a recall> I ordered a new cv axle made in China. (what do i have to lose)? Is my manual trans axle shot? I kinda dont think so but now im getting really scared. This is my only car. Its a little Honda FIT. PLEASE HELP ME.
Great video! Just did the drivers side CV on a 2018 Elantra. The new CV is making the same thumping noise as the original one, just not nearly as bad. Noise is heard when driving straight and gets worse when turning hard right. What's the chances I got a bad replacement one (non OEM)? Have you had many bad ones from the manufacturer?
Clay I have a question? I have a car that I can't even get parts for anymore. I do all my own mechanicin' on this old Bastard. it is the oddball 1987 Buick Century custom 2.5 l iron Duke POS. my car all of a sudden would not shift out of first I mean it wasn't even like gradually giving me a heads up which is really confusing to me. because most of the time as we know these things give a heads up before they just take a shit. can't hook OBD up to it because it's freaking got to be the car that Jesus drove to school "old". I changed the shift solenoid under the side pan of the transmission in this stupid thing. took me about a week and a half because of the stupid cover that goes over the side pan. pain in the ass to remove along with everything else that we had to remove just to get to the stupid thing. reassembled. do you even drive it a few kilometers and something started rattling and clanging. sounded like something rubbing on something else. turn it right back around went home and looked under it and the inside of the CV boot was pulled away from the CV axle on the same side which would be the driver side. I know that I did not get the Jack or anything else because I had them on blocks around any part of this area of the car. hence the car still did not shift out of first. could the CV axle have worked its way out of the housing and caused the car not to shift
I need help I’m changing the driver side axel of a 2005 Nissan Altima and I’m once I took out the axel and tried to put the new one there’s like a metal rod going up and down that I think is stopping the axel from entering I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be there or not
