Best Answer

Step by step process is as follows:

1) Loosen the CV joint nut prior to jack the car up if you can.

2)Jack up the car, put jack stands underneath when you reach your desired height, jack stands are the safest way to keep your car up.

3)Remove the wheel

4)Remove the Tie Rod from the strut assembly

5) Remove the lower control arm from the strut assembly

6)Remove that CV joint nut

Now the strut assembly might get in the way from pulling the CV joint axle from the Transmission you can try to find something to hook it to while with a bungee cord or something. The CV joint should slide right out from the "middle of the rotor"

7a)If you have a CV puller that fits your CAMRY you are going to want to slide the puller around the axle as close to the Transmission pan as you can.

7b)If you do not have a puller you can try to pry it off with a pry bar this will take some perseverance.

8) Once you get the axle loosened from the transmission you are going to want to slip a drip pan underneath where the axle goes into the transmission, Transmission Fluid will flow from the hole.

9) You can now pull the old CV Joint out of the transmission all the way.

10)Work the new CV joint axle into the transmission (BE CAREFUL NOT TO HURT THE BOOTS)

11)You may want to knock it in with a hammer gently until it is in all the way (I recommend a rubber mallet)

12)Work the CV joint back into the "middle of the rotor"

13)Hand tighten the CV joint nut onto the cv joint

14)Connect the lower control arm back to the strut assembly.

15)Reconnect the tie rod

16)Replace the tire

17)Use a torques wrench to tighten the cv joint nut to 180lbs

18) Take the car off the jackstands

19)Replace the transmission fluid lost with new transmission fluid

20)Drive Safely!

It does have CV joints but, it is best to just swap out the complete axle assembly than to replace only the CV joint. You will spend much time and almost as much money trying to replace the CV joint than to just purchase a reconditioned axle assembly and swap it.

How do you know when it is time to replace your CV axle on a 95 Toyota Camry?

If you can hear a clicking sound coming from the front end when you go around tighter turns. If you can hear clicking turning right, you should replace the left CV joint and if you are turning left and hear the clicking sound you should replace the left CV joint. I strongly recommend getting it replaced sooner rather than later. A CV joint should run anywhere between $75-$125. I recommend a CV joint of a higher quality, which means more money, and with a lifetime warranty, it will be worth it, especially with them never say die Toyota engines.
