CV Axle Replacement
HOW TO REPLACE FRONT CV AXLE!
AKA Drive Axle
Second time replacing this axle. First one advance said was a defect.
*Replacing Front CV Axle*
Tools needed:
*32mm To remove the axle nut
*21mm to remove lug nuts.
*19mm to remove the two bolts holding the hub assembly to the strut and the sway bar end-link.
*17mm to remove break caliper.
*I used an adjustable wrench for the brake lines and any time I need a secondary wrench.
*Some type of crowbar, something with a little lip like shown will work better.
*pliers to remove cotter pin.
*Helpful items, Rags/ Towels, Fluid container to catch the transmission fluid, Jack stands/ crate or something to hold break caliper up and out of the way, Extra transmission fluid to top off what drained out, Rubber mallet to add force when needed.
Hope this helped & you enjoyed!
