Thank You
Just loosen up this 35mm nut that I dont put on my list of tools needed but probably the one most people want have.
Thank you as always very helpful and professional but you forgot the 35 mm on the list
I found it easier to blow hammer the axle into the pan to make sure it was seated then into the hub.
I purchased this particular part from 1a and it lasted all of 6 months
Beware there are 4 bolts that hold the disconnect housing not 3 as shown on the video......atleast that's what is on my 2006 envoy .
After you remove the houseing is there a bearing on the shaft or is the one I see from the actuator housing that broke.? Or do I need a bearing plus the new housing?
Great video. Im having trouble removing the back half of the assembly from the vehicle. Any suggestions??
me too. put two bolts, one on each side of the axle and tightened to push the back half. I'm afraid if i tighten them any more they will punch a hole in the oil pan. indust.consult@rcn.com 603 365 0251
How are you assured the axel is seated properly in differential? Do you put a little grease on the end going into the differential?
And does the outer end come out of the housing without too much effort?
why do you show the new disconnect assembly installed at 9:27 and then cut to the new axle going into the old disconnect assembly ? .........and the old bearings and seal look to be intact on the original....what was the problem that required replacement ?.......otherwise .....quite helpful, thanks....Will
Great video, I'm getting a grinding noise from the driver's side would that be caused by something different? It's not the outer bearing so there an inner bearing for the drivers side?
Almost sounds like you're continually going over a rumble strip
I've had axle cv joints do that. They get stiff on part of it. Does the steering wheel wobble a little? Mine was real noticeable and then clear up only to do it again. New axle fixed it.
Just replaced a front diff on a 2005 trailblazer, worth noting that the back half of that disconnect housing seizes solid into the oil pan. Broke on removal, called wreckers and none are available, wonder why... new housing from GM is around 500$. Be wary do it yourselfers!
How did you remove from the oil pan?
Hi, your videos help me a lot. I have a question if I change the panel of clocks, they put the same miles as the old one or it remains at zero?
Thanks Guys
Through the transmission? You mean oil pan?
Will this be the same for my 2001 bravada your videos are professional btw
+ffuentes777 We currently do not have an auto repair video that covers this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com
Thank you guys
This is the unit with the shift fork? Is there any need to grease it up? Are the bearings pressed in?
How to do the driver side cv axle removal
Do you need to check fluid levels for anything? at 4:48 i see that there was alot of grease on the axle when taking it off the disconnect housing. or should you do any servicing to the axle itself? your look different when installing it back; like new. - First Timer
At 5:03 you can see him picking up the piece that came off..they donât always come off easy, there are a couple âhomemade toolsâ that people swear by to get that piece out...
if im replacing the housing on one side bc it broke should i replace the other side, similar question is the housing in the other side the same part, it seems i would just buy 2
Great vedio well being do 2002envoy thanks
If you replace this part, does this eliminate replacing the shaft seals?
Is the axle disconnect the same on a envoy Denali with a 5.3 as the one with a 4.2 that's what I'm trying to figure out
For those of us doing this at home what's the method to remove the axle from the transmission without a vehicle hoist
Hi guys my trail Blazer a 2006 xlt 6 cylinder had issue of when you selected any postion from 2 wheel high to 4 wheel it flashes then went soild herd transfer case working from inside cab....just would not go into 4 wheel and the front difrentinal would not engaged....my mechanic friend did this for me ...he broke off the disconnect in the oil pan like often happens he ...drilled the old disconnect to get it out of oil pan but was careful not to go into the oil pan ....now my 4 wheel drive is working once again ...maybe this will help others having the same issue ok ...my friend is a mechanic mon thru Friday does work on weekends in his own shop at home ...glad he did this especially with the old disconnect breaking off in the oil pan ....but he got it running and a lot cheaper then a regular garage

How do I know if this part is bad? My actuator is covered in oil. What symptoms will a bad disconnect give?
Are there different size bearings on the inner part of the housing for the shaft? Mine is to big for the housing to slide over but my CV joint fits fine on the opposite side of the housing just not the inner. I didnt know if I could change that out or not
Now when the casting is broken off.
+@kx4532 We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What size bolts are on the axle disconnect housing
You didn't tell them about the clip that needs lined up on the cv axle use alittle grease on it to hold it in place to slide it in disconnect
I've seen some videos where some kind of oil is poured where the actuator goes. Does it need oil?
A1 Auto, need some help. Working on this project today, and housing wouldnt come out so I was using a pry bar and tapping the housing and it came off, but the back part is stuck in tranny case. I have a pic, but cannnot load it here. Can you help?
+Chris M You can email us at service@1aauto.com
@@1AAuto I was able to get the broken part out. Want to make sure that all you should see is the axle piece sticking out, no O rings or washers etc. Is that correct?
Chris M how did you get your piece out Iâm having the same problem
I just did the same thing I'm scratching my head now on how to get it out I have a brand new one to replace it non that piece is left
It looks like you have a leak similar to the one on my 06 Traiblazer. Any idea where it's coming from? I can't find the source to save my life!
All video looking easy i broken my and i cant take out the piece is really tie
+Mauricio Chavez Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Will a bad actuator make my vehicle engage and disengage the front axle while I am driving?
+Kelly Underkoffler We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
when you inserted the cv shaft, will it do in smoothly or will you have to hit it with a hammer to make sure it goes all the way in ?
+Brown Guy It went in smoothly
1A Auto Parts quick question if It doesn't go in smoothly what could be the issue? Is there a certain direction the c clip is supposed to be pointing? When installing the new cv axle?
Great vid
I have an 03 Trailblazer on the driver's front output shaft bearing and seal how do you go about replacing that
+Scottie Prince Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this in mind for future repairs. www.1AAuto.com?CZcams&CTA%20Comment& 866-403-3393
You should probably grease your new bearing if you get it ungreased. Not shown in vid.
+Derick Ryan Thanks for the tip!
Doing this to my 07 and broke the back half off now it's stuck inside the transmission lol
What's the problem when it won't come out ??
Using a torque wrench to remove fastners:(
Whatâs the part number on this
Does motor oil cerculate through this part
No
Is it the same for driver side
It should be the same procedure as the passenger side. Hope this helps you out. Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Question is this the part i need to replace, when the truck only works on rear wheel drive?
+Marvin Del Rosario If the vehicle is rear wheel drive, front axles would not be present.
Itâs a 4DW
+Marvin Del Rosario If this part is not functioning correctly then is should correct the issue if replaced.
Did this fix your problem? I'm having the same issue. When I Switch to 4HI, I can hear the encoder motor working and the TCCM reflects the change, but TB stays in 2HI.
@@enlightened1z128 how did you fix yours having same issue turn switch it flashes then goes soild like it's engaged but my trailblazer 2006 xlt stays in 2hi about to replace the disconnect housing and actuator have it coming from amazing on Mon wondering if this fix your SUV thanks dave
hello I have a 1991 chav the 4x4 won't go back in 2 weal drive ( help)
+Cam Langstaff Thank you for watching. It could be a bunch of different things that is causing this. It could be a actuator on the axle, or the transfer case shift motor if the 4WD is powered. We recommend having a local and reputable shop diagnose this matter for you. 1aauto.com
My whole inner axle came out when I took this off, is that normal?
+draconavyful That is normal. You can just remove that inner axle and put it on the new axle then you are all set!
Thank you, wasn't expecting that to come out
How long did this take you roughly?
14 days lol use a titanium drill bit!
1 day with that
i would like to know what was wrong with that part thanks.
+Christian Garnica the bearing had worn out. Here's a pretty good article on how these kinds of parts work, and why the might fail. www.offroadtb.com/articles/tech-docs/front-axle-4wd-disconnect/

thank you for quick response, big help.
whats the cost of a job like this to get done at a mechanic ?
At least $500 for the part & $200 on labor, the labor just going to depend on what the shop charges.
Im into one right now, to rebuild the actuator due to no availability on complete. its a 700 dollar bill after taxes.
Can buy complete 4 wheel disconnect with actuator on Amazon for 159$ ....my local auto zone and advance Auto parts want around 400$ just for 4wheel disconnect local junk yard want 175$ for used one ...baught brand new with new actuator for 159$ on Amazon paid friend who is mechanic at local top notch garge $200 labor ...the original disconnect broke off in oil pan which is common he drilled old disconnect in few places watching not to go thru pan and got old one out put new one in now working excellent
@@davidkurzdorfer6402 would this part fix a bad front diff bearing? Just changed fluid and sound got better but still there. Old oil was full but there was some metal in it
do we do the same for the left side????
+Liliana Ruiz It's a pretty similar process, yeah. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com?CZcams&CTA%20Comment&ATony 866-403-3393

+Edilberto Sarmiento Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
