- In this video young mechanic Aiman will show and give you ideas on how to replace a driver (left) side CV Axle on a 2010 Honda Civic, which would be the same for all 8th generation civic from year 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 - DX, LD & EX model. Removal, installation and replacement of a right passenger side half shaft should be fairly similar to the left side.
Replacing a CV axle on Honda Civic is a very simple process and the part is relatively inexpensive if you buy them from aftermarket instead of using genuine parts. The removal and installation is painless, only requires basic automotive tools and should take about an hour or so to complete, even for an experience DIY do-it-yourself backyard mechanic or also known as the weekend warrior. Of course, if you're not comfortable or confident with repairing it yourself, you should bring the car to a certified mechanic or automotive shop for repair.
In this video Aiman will also explain some of the symptoms or sign of a bad CV (Constant Velocity) axle. In most cases a bad CV axle can be determined visually by looking at a damaged boot on the CV axle, but this is always the case. In our case, there was visible damage to the boot or the axle but the car was making a clicking noise especially during a turn from stop and go (i.e. pulling out of the driveway or the parking lot) both forward and reverse coming from the front left side of the car. It's more pronounced in reverse.
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Axle CV Shaft Assembly:
Common signs include loud clicking noises when turning, grease on the inside edge of the tires, and excessive vibration when driving.
1. Loud clicking noises when turning
One of the most common and most noticeable symptoms of a bad or failing CV axle shaft assembly is an audible clicking noise when turning. When CV axles become excessively worn, the joints will become loose and click when turning. The clicks may become louder or more pronounced during sharper and faster turns, and will be heard on the side with the faulty CV shaft.
2. Grease on edge of tire
Another symptom of a problem with the CV axle shafts is grease on the inside edge of the tire or along the underside of the vehicle. This is usually caused by a torn boot leaking grease, which is tossed around while the axle turns. A leaky boot will eventually lead to CV joint failure, as dirt and debris will get into the boot and damage the joint.
3. Excessive vibration while driving
Another symptom of a bad CV axle is excessive vibrations from the axle while driving. If a CV joint or axle shaft is damaged in any way that affects its balance while rotating, it will cause the shaft to vibrate excessively while operating the vehicle. The vibrations may oscillate, or become more pronounced as vehicle speed increases. Excessive vibration from failing CV shafts can interfere with handling and ride characteristics, and the overall safety and comfort of the vehicle. Usually the CV axle will need to be replaced if it is damaged enough to cause vibrations.
On the contrary, symptoms of a bad ball joint, bearing and suspension failure would be different.
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Ball Joint (Front) Common signs include clunking noises and excessive vibration from the front, and you may start steering to the right or left unintentionally. It would be more pronounce if you hit the pot hole, although a bad suspension would also be felt when hitting bumps on the road or potholes.

Good job little dude! Always smart to learn how to repair your own vehicle and save money. Great job dad, on teaching your son!
You're going places kid. Props to your Dad for raising a good kid. Gl to you both.
Congratulations my little mechanic, you are an example for all the kid who always spend the time playing video games, you are the new generation of profesionals with experience.
Regards
I really like watching videos of this young guy... no arrogance, like many know-it all guys here..... well done
Great to see young people still interested in physical work. Good job bud!
Nice video little man! Looks to me like your Pops is doing a great job raising you. You both are very lucky to have eachother.
I like your commitment kid. However as a career technician, I can tell you...Don't take safety shortcuts. Put on some safety glasses and some gloves. One day I promise you'll be glad you did.
My wife is on my ass for not doing this and I broke two 18 mill deep sockets trying to remove my front strut I'm glad I wore my mechanic gloves I would've busted a knuckle if I didn't
Thanks for making these videos, you explain things very well!
Thanks for this video by the way man, my car was doing that exact noise you mentioned. Except that it was for both sides. Hopefully when my axles arrive I can replace it like this with no problem!
I loved your other videos, and live this one to. So simple and easy to follow and great presentation! Well done! And to your dad a thumbs up! 👍
Thank you for the moral support and thanks for taking the time to write a comment. Sorry for the late reply as my comment section was disabled temporarily by youtube.
Nice vid...I always put the tire under the frame of the car for extra safety, along with jack stands.
Thank you for showing this! Great visual and great commentary/instructions!
I like that you have more than one jack stand in use. Thank you man lol
I'm about to do a job on my fiances families car and I never done this gen. Thanks for the help bro. Be safe and keep wrenching.
Little Man, you are awesome. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
great job young man
What a great kid and fantastic job. I will use this on my Grandsons Honda Civic.
Mike
Well explained young man👍
Nice how you explained everything to us new to this thing thank you 🤟🤟🤟
Great video, thanks!
Smart kid good job !
Thanks for the video! One question how much play should there be on the shafts?
I also recently replaced my starter. Wasn't easy to get in and out, but I was persistent. This will be my next project. Could be my pinion though, (bolts per my research) as you mentioned. I'm going to diagnose the exact issue here soon. Good job buddy.
I'm not gonna call you a little man or a kid coz you are THE man! One question, do you have to refill the transmission oil after this?
good job . I wish we had more kids like you to put tablet and computer games a way and get out room and take the tools instead and learn some thing. by the way good job by your dad teaching you and you listening to him . when you grow up as man all this work with your dad will be very nice memories to remember for years to come .
Thank you for taking the time to comment. My parents allowed us to play video games for a limited amount of hours per week but you're right about the effect of computer games. My dad have said that computer games are the the worst evil ever created by the devils, although that's probably too extreme even for him. Sorry for the late reply as my comment section was disabled temporarily by youtube.
Awesome! Way to go, Aiman.
GOOD WORK. KEEP POSTING NEW VIDEOS

Good show chap
Muy bien amigo
Your dad must be so proud 👏
Awww ur too cute sweet heart I bet your going to be one awesomely Great Mechanic !!!! Great job buddy wow I'm 34 now an a female lol an I just started learning about cars I recently purchased 05 Buick rendezvous and I've changed out the axles on both sides passenger and driver wheel hub on driver side.. Also struts on both sides... And I'd say you just helped mW out so much and I wish you the best of luck I know one day your going to be a rocking mechanics 🤗😊😉💚💙💛
Thank you for your excellent video. Do I need to get replacement axles with an ABS ring? Most aftermarket axles do not have them listed in the specifications.
What are the sizes of tools you are using to unscrew all the bolts?
Can you add a link for the website you night the cv axle?
شكرا ايمن
Good job. The car transmision is automatic or manual?
All the best.
Good job, if you rotate the rotor downwards it makes it much easier to undo the indent on the axle nut, from a technician to you, always stay clear from being under the vehicle if possible. And wear safety glasses and protective shoes😎🙏
how do you rotate a rotor downward?
@@officiallyestradamy bad....meant to say leave it in neutral, spin the rotor meaning wheel....so that the indent on the axle nut is easier to undo with a hammer and flat chisel....instead of trying to undo it by striking it upwards.
Well done boy;
Thank you!!!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey what size mm take bolt off rotor
Great video just a tip next time try to do something and then if you can't then ask your parents or friends, obviously under supervision but you need to at least try I believe you could it done it, good shot
Little dude you need to wear shoes, you want to protect your feet from falling parts. Also safety glasses, cheers 🍻 to you two men.
Did you refill transmission?
Do you put lost transmission oil back ? Or if its little drop leave it
Good job
Thank you!
Been looking to replace mine as well but don't know which brand I should get? Worried about getting aftermarket but don't have that much to spend on OEM. Which one did you guys purchase?
Good job kidoe
Thanks for compliment....
good job
Thanks!
Kids like the Doogie Houser of auto mechanics.
Thank you for the complement. Couldn't have done it without my dad. Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to write a comment.
2010 civic 5spd, mint, low miles. Low humming noise but not wheel bearings. Could it possibly be the bearing on the drive shaft? I read about tranny bearings but, I’m not getting any issues / sounds/ vibes changing gears. Humming persists if I throw it in neutral when driving.
Great contest...👍
I have a question for you..may can help..
Odyssey 02 when put on reverse make a super noise like dosen't engage ..do you think could be the axle ?
Appreciate thanks
No idea! But you can look online for people who have similar problems! For example, I saw this on a forum when searching "Odyssey in reverse noise"
www.odyclub.com/threads/uh-oh-noise-when-shifting-into-reverse.24635/
His dad does all da work da kid just takes credit 🤔🤔😂😂
Isnt that what all kids do?
My car makes clunkin noise wen i turn could it da cv axle?
How long did this 60 dollar aftermarket part last you? Bc I have a 2009 Honda civic ex coupe with cv axle noise and crunch and a squeek on certain bumps I've replaced the whole front end accept for the axles
great video.
my axle is stuck in the spindle/hub on my civic. one axle came out just like in video. the other side axle, not so much. :,-(
im having this problem right now on my driver side. Did you find any good solutions?
put the nut flush with the spindle and hammer the hell out of it
That must be the current issue I have. I'm noticing a clicking on hard left reverses and hard left forward at low speed. No boot leak though. My intuition says axle now.
Mines clicking in reverse and forward when you take off from a dead stop but not when you turn - just going in a straight line it happens
Good job kiddo
God bless
Does a lot of transmission oil leak? Will you need to put some in after install?
it depends on how level it is. sometimes if it leaks any its a small amount. if youre very worried i would grab a quart of ATF and keep watch to see if any leaks. if it does just toss a little bit of ATF in. not too bad at all
I can't get the cv axle to go in all the way on wheel side, it hits metal to metal and won't go any further, any ideas?
Rotating the hub may help. If the splines aren't lined up it won't slide all the way into the hub. Hopefully you've solved this by now :-)
Link,where do you buy my friend
I'll give my son a nice spanking if he forgets to change the oil seal together 🤣
Some guys seem to take the brake sensor out of the way.... Wonder if it is necessary ?
Not necessary. I've seen the video as well. But I watched 1A auto video and they didn't say anything about so 🤷🏽♂️
Why did you remove the ball joint screw. All you had to do is drop the two shock bolts.
Thanks to Alman and your father for this video. I used this video as the basis for tackling the axles on my Civic. Job well done.
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad I helped you out!
Finagle?
Stupid question but are there 1 or 2 CV shafts on this car?
Two
Good video, but it would be better if you included the torque values.
How to remove Honda jazz please explain
Honda Jazz? I'm sorry, I don't have much experience with that model; it might be a good idea to look around on online forums! I wish you the best of luck :)
Sheeeesh
Still waiting for u to show symptoms
Re: cramps. Your electrolytes are low -namely magnesium and potassium. This can be caused from sweating a lot or drinking caffiene and taking ADHD meds (me waving hand). I take Mg supplements to counteract this.
You didnt mentioned how much torque on the axle nut
Matthew Deer 134 foot pounds
A banana or coconut water a few times a week will help with those cramps. Potassium power 👍🏾
I'll give that a try! Thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Nice Job! Your cramp may be a lack of magnesium or Potassium or both. Supplements will fix it.
Constant Velocity Axle
So what was actually bad about it? The old one didn't look broken
It was making sound when turning slowly especially while reversing from parking state. It solved the problem though. So not sure what's wrong with it but manufacturer recommended replacing it after a certain mileage...
@@EyeOnAiman Hi Aiman very good video, i buy a second hand civic 2010 model for my daughter as a birthday gift for her 18th bday... i heard sound every time i turn the wheel to the right sound like (tsug). Same sound that you heard in your civic? Thanks alot ...
Lil cutie 😉
Flip flops?
Youre cramping bc youre dehydrated lil dude. Also you are bracking with your legs, and because youre in sandals youre not able to brace with some obtuse angle and have to stress your feet to get leverage. :D
The nerves in your lower back and hips connect to you feet..
Lol, stop fooling people that you did all the dirty works when those tools are even heavier than u.
