they are a pain in the butt, you have to diconnect the strut mounting bolts on the strut tower and lower control arm, and you will need a 17mm Allen wrench sears carries them good luck
My 94 Grand Cherokee Limited is in the shop right now for a gas leak, and a broke CV axle. They estimated @ 400 for the CV axle if I dexcide to do it. The shop actually said if I am not 4x4ing, the jeep would go another 10 years without fixing it, it will just make the noises, but otherwise is ok not to fix????
Remove the brake caliper and hang it on a wire so as not to strain hose, then remove caliper mounting. Now tap back of rotor to remove it. Detach tie rod end from knuckle, remove ABS sensor (this is very difficult, they stick) Remove control arm from knuckle. This is not easy due to the rounded edges of the control arm After that, undo large nut holding hub and drive axle and pull the hub off. At this point, with one person holding the hub out of the way, you can grasp and firmly pull the CV joint, with axle, right out of the transaxle. If you have the metric trans, the CV joints on this vehicle are almost, but not quite identical. Only about 1 inch difference, so do not confuse the sides. replace everything exactly the opposite way.-This job is quite tricky if you are not a very experienced mechanic -
could be transmission damage. At the least the cv axle was probable broken. The cv axle should not bt that hard to replace, but the transmission is a different story.
Steering and suspension systems on modern cars are fairly similar. First and foremost, are you sure that the entire axle requires replacing? Likely, it only needs a new boot installed to keep out the elements. The continuous velocity (CV) axle, is basically an axle with hinged joints found in front-wheel drive cars that allows the drive wheels to steer. The hinged areas are sealed from road dirt and moisture by rubber boots, and when this rubber boot breaks down, moisture, salt, and dirt enter the CV joint and begin to rust and damage it. Sometimes the boot can be torn by road debris as well. In any case, the disassembly procedure is the same.First disconnect the negative battery terminal from your vehicle... all sorts of things can happen when working on a vehicle; frying your vehicle's computer or accidentally deploying the air bags are two very common ones; both are very expensive, and neither can happen with the battery disconnected.Second, block the rear wheels and engage the parking brake. Break the lug nuts free, but do not loosen them.Third, raise the side of the vehicle with the damaged CV Axle, and support it securely with jack stands. Never work on any part of a vehicle that is supported using jacks only. Never remove both CV Axles from the transmission at the same time.Fourth, remove the lug nuts and wheel. Depending on specific design, before proceeding to the next step, you may need to remove the brake caliper and brake disc by loosening the two bolts that hold the caliper to the steering knuckle; the disc may have a hold-down screw or two. The brake caliper should be hung from a wire, such as a coat hanger so that it does not hang from the rubber brake like, which may damage it. Residual pressure in the brake system may close the caliper while you work, making it difficult to re-install on the rotor, so use a brake caliper spreader to hold it open or re-open it. If these aren't available, remove the brake pads and use a c-clamp to re-compress the brake cylinder. But avoid using a clamp on the brake pads, as it will likely crush or chip them.Fifth, free the CV axle by removing the hub nut. Remove the cotter pin and cover that holds the CV Axle to the steering knuckle. Loosen the hub nut and set aside the nut and washer(s).Sixth, remove the steering tie-rod from the steering knuckle (by removing the cotter pin and lock nut and using a Pittman arm puller to separate the joint. Do not adjust the tie-rod ends, but rather remove them from the steering knuckle.Seventh, loosen the steering knuckle ball joint (at the bottom of the steering knuckle) and separate with a ball-joint separator or puller. You should now be able to rotate the steering knuckle out far enough to allow you to push the CV Axle out through the back of the hub and steering knuckle. The CV Axle is designed to be spring-loaded, and will compress substantially to permit this process. If, after removing the hub nut and washers, the CV axle seems stuck in the hub, tap the end with a punch to free it.Eighth, pry the CV Axle out of the automatic transaxle(or transmission). Transmission fluid may leak out at this point, so be prepared with a basin to catch it and replacement fluid of the proper type for your vehicle. Since you're wasting transmission fluid, now might be a great time to replace the transmission fluid filter, as well.Now, inspect the CV joints. Usually, unless they've been open to the elements for an extremely long time, they will be in good mechanical condition. If you're bored, rebuilding and repacking all the tiny bearings is loads of fun, but an entire axle can be had cheaply (and the old one recycled), so why bother?Push the transaxle end of the CV Axle into the transaxle sharply to snap it in. When installed properly, the large snap ring should retain in without any play. Reverse instructions to re-install.Don't forget to re-attach the negative battery terminal... or you'll be calling a tow truck.
Not easy!!! Get a manual on your car and it will help on the next repair.
The car has only one transaxle, AKA transmission, then no, you cannot remove the tranny without removing the tranny. If you mean without removing CV Axle or drive axle or Axle shaft or CV shaft (same thing) then the answer is still no. You cannot remove the transaxle without removing the drive axle/CV shaft.
how do u remove cv axle driverside 1991 toyota corolla
no unless you hear clicking noises from opposite side your turning-- meaning the cv axle is damaged and the axle would have to be pretty bad to cause a driveability problem i rec balancing the tires
Lift the vehicle using a jack. Inspect the CV boot for problems. Mark the axle. Separate the CV from the shaft. Remove the CV boot clamps. Use a mallet to knock the CV joint off the shaft. Remove the boot from the CV axle shaft.
Jack and secure vehicle. Remove tie rod nut and separate of knuckle. Remove axle nut and strut bolts. Use pry bar to remove inner CV joint from trans. Pull CV axle from vehicle.
How do you get the axle out to change the boots on the cv joints
hoew do you remove a c v axle from a 97 isuzu rodeo front right
I am assuming the axle cv joint itself is bad an not just the boot. If the cv joint is bad you will have to replace the whole axle itself. 1. Drain transmission fluid. 2. Remove wheel. 3. Loosen and remove axle nut and remove whatever is necessary to free axle from wheel/suspension area. 4. Using a prybar or large screwdriver pop axle out of transmission and replace.
how to remove, or replace front right axle escape 2004
A CV boot is found on the axle of a vehicle. To replace the outer boot remove the axle bolt and pull the boot off. The inner boot requires removal of the whole axle.
To remove a constant velocity (CV) axle, you typically need to jack up the vehicle, remove the wheel, disconnect the axle nut, separate the ball joint or control arm, and then pull the CV axle out from the wheel hub. It's important to consult a repair manual or seek professional help if you're unsure about the process.
Bad inner CV joint?
