Excellent!!! Your video just saved me from having to take the car to the shop to replace the passenger side CV Axle. Clean removal. No sawing or removing engine mounts!!!
this is the BEST how to for changing the passenger cv axle. other videos had me removing all sorts of suspension components, even sawing the axle in half!!!

Thanks for the video. I found it extremely difficult to re-install the snap ring - access from below is difficult if you're working on a vehicle supported by jack stands, so I reached in from the side using long-handled needle-nose pliers. The problem is that the ring pops out if any part of it is not exactly aligned with the groove while you're squeezing it and positioning it with the pliers. I finally succeeded by sliding the bottom half of the ring into the groove, and then had someone underneath the car push the top half in with a screwdriver while I squeezed the pliers. I would recommend taking the ring off the axle and making some practice runs while you have the axle removed just to get a feel for it. Also, I second the comment about unbolting the lower control arm instead of the strut to move the hub off the axle.
My CV axle broke while I was putting coilovers on my Camry. Anyway I really like your videos and they’ve helped me work on my own car a lot and I even bought myself some tools too. Thank you!
I don't like the idea of putting a pry bar against the lug nuts to remove the axle nut, there's a good chance that you could mess up the threads. I put some old nuts back on to protect the threads from the crowbar. I also have loosened the axle nut while the tire was on the ground. Great video saved me tons of labor costs.
Forget trying to get the motor mount off, it's designed to be removed AFTER the axle is out. Get a 2" grade strong 10x1.25 bolt and drive it all the way in smashing the bearing. Remove then I used the pointy tip on my air hammer to go back and forth one left then right to wiggle the bearing out. Second trick: Get the c clip over the shaft then use a zip tie to squeeze the ends together. after fitting back in the groove snip the zip with a nip and BOb's your uncle.
The procedure you show for removing the shaft may have worked 10 years ago but these vehicles are 20+ years old. Zero chance of the bearing popping right out like that.
Dena B - totally agree. Mine was a bear. Actually had to cut two grooves in the CV housing for a two jaw slide hammer attachment to grip to get mine (16 yrs old) out. And believe me I tried banging from the back very hard, prying etc to no avail. Slide hammer finally worked. Cut opposing slots in the CV housing using a dremel tool. Once it finally released it made my day!
See another 1AA Auto video where he seems to work on a Solara like mine. It is a out 32-mimutes long. He takes the mount out with the axle and deals with it out of the car.
None of these videos show pushing the bearing into the motor mount housing. They all skip this part. I've had to beat on the end to get it in. This has broke the grease seal on a few after market axles two by me and 2 by an independent mechanic. Finally after many months got a oem axle from the dealer. It too has a cheap seal that I think will break again. I need to ream out the motor mount bearing house just a little to get this in there with out beating it in. What a hassle that I've never experienced before. Surprised no one else has had this problem. Again no one ever shows the complete install into that housing.
If I could add to make it easier on someone it's easier to take the lower control arm two 17mm nuts and one 17mm bolt out of the lower control arm and then you can gain enough access to pull the axle out of the hub. If you do it the way in the video it's more work and you risk changing the camber angles on the vehicle's alignment.
@@joestro7826 Yes, and I should add that all vehicles have the ability to have camber adjusted. Front end shops take advantage of the "slop" at these two bolts (slop is by design) and they jock the knuckle around until they get the correct camber. Cam adjusters allow even more angular adjustment, but, again, all vehicles are adjusted for camber.

Look out for that support bearing they mention. It sits inside an engine mount. Mine was rust-welded on there ('98 and had never been replaced) and had to take it to my local (trustworthy) mechanic. They spent about an hour with an air hammer, torch and panther pee. Eventually we had to buy a whole new engine mount and rip out the old one just to get the cv axle out... Couple extra $$$ to say the least. And for reference, I replaced the driver side cv axle myself without issue, so it really is just that damn support bearing you have to look out for. Good luck
I'm not looking forward to bring it to a mechanic, i gave it a whole days attempt to try to hammer it out. I'm just going take the six Allen bolts. but my rear motor mount end its life looking to replace it but its crazy hard
just wondering if you live on the east coast, and driving conditions created your "rust weld" situation. I'm going to replace my right side cv axel and mine is a 1990. much older but hopefully no where near as difficult
Toyotas have a rubber plug that pushes against the outer bearing ring which keeps the bearing from completely rotating in the bearing housing. The 14mm bolt at 7:22 presses this rubber plug against the outer ring. There is no metal (bolt) to metal (outer bearing ring) contact. You never mention this rubber plug or show it. Might not even have realized it was there. My recent experience with this rubber plug is that it really needs to be replaced when doing this work. Mine barely was flush with the inner surface of the mounting bracket when the bolt was tightened up and bottomed out on its flange. Therefore it I were to reuse it it would not be able to perform its function - keeping the entire bearing from rotating in the mount. I suspect over the years of it being compressed it basically lost what pressure it had initially. This is an important detail one might miss when doing this work like this video. Great video overall. I would not have removed strut bolts only 3 ball joint bolts is sufficient at least of Highlanders. Thanks for posting

You might need a slide hammer with CV axle attachment. The non-oem axles are missing the ears for leverage when trying to use a pry bar. The punch he was using in the video must be a foot long, the flex pipe prevented me getting a good angle on the axle. Also when using jack stands it is hard to get a good hammer swing while lying down. You also need to have pliers with a big opening to get the retaining clip back on.

I had the carrier bearing stuck in there pretty good. Used a long 1/2” impact extension and it just fit in the gap between the mount and the cv axle and beat on the bottom with a 2lb hammer to get the bearing out. Pry bars and everything else I tried didn’t budge it. Just in case this helps anyone else out there.
Just got a camry and the passenger cv axel was replaced by previous owner but must’ve not done something right. The axel is still shiny and new looking but when you try and put it in gear it makes a grinding noise and won’t pull. But if you play with the steering wheel going side to side and keep putting in gear sometimes it’ll go for a couple feet and then stop and make the grinding noise again. Any help is appreciated.
I ran into snap ring difficulty as well until I put the old one back around the axle and tightened a zip tie as tight as possible around the tabs. Seated itself in there right away then all I had to do was cut the zip tie
I did this CV axel replacement, on my 1997 Toyota Camry le v6, and after that I put new brake pads on the front wheels only , and now when I put my car in drive and let the car roll , it make a very loud horn sound ... Can you help ?
Should there be any grease on the splines that enter into the transmission? Also when buying a new cv axle do the inside of the boots come pre-greased on the inside ?
in the drivers side video you smeared trans oil on the end of the splines. do you also need to do that on the passenger side? and the center bearing, is it difficult to get in place?

I tried removing the passenger side by myself on my 01 solara , and basically tried everything. I ended taking it to a shop. It was so rusted in they had to use a torch to heat up the bearing bracket to remove it.
i used a piece of rebar 1 foot long and sledge hammered it into the cv axle for a few minutes and it got the cv axle out of the bearing. i tried with pry bars for 45 minutes straight before i tried the piece of rebar. i thought it would never come out
Leo Rodriguez its not transmission fluid.. its differntial oil.. so gear oil.. i donno this particular car but usually 75w90 or 80w90 will do.. should be a fill plug somewhere around the area.. i donno where it is in this particular car..

Why did you take off the driver side tire and then put it back on in the end? Were you not doing the passenger side? Why would you even have to worry about the driver side if you were working on the passenger side?
I wondered the same thing. I think the guy was just being lazy and probably filmed the driver side earlier or forgot to add that step and figured it does not really matter since he is just demonstrating how to remove the lock nut then later how to tighten/torque the lock nut.

There are different types of cv joints some are push in some are bolt in. On my 98 v6 camry there were 6 inverted hex bolts to remove with Alan key tool , these were impossible to do with the Alan key i used along breaker bar extension with a cut off alan key in a 8 ml socket worked a treat
When I removed this cv joint from my camry a heap of oil gushed out of the hole . I assume my manual gearbox is now empty of gear oil . is this normal ? please someone help.
How about making it clear that you have to DRAIN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID before you pop the axle out? Might just prevent a small environmental disaster.
It's actually the front differential you'd drain, which has separate fluid from the transmission on this car (even though it's the same fluid). You'll need something to pump the new fluid in, as the fill plug is on the side of the diff in a tight space with no room for a funnel.

Guadlupe Rodriquez - you might want to watch closer - he did the passenger side... must have watched first minute and deduced that incorrectly before commenting.
at 5 minutes into the video, you show punching out the axle from the bearing mount. THE BOLT WAS ALREADY OUT! removes the bolt, or you going to have a bad day

Robert H You’re absolute right!
If you are alone you can take the 30mm bolt off before you jack the car up or take the lug nuts off. That's what I did.
Other than prying on threaded wheel studs this is a pretty good video. Next time cover wheel studs with lug nuts an THEN pry on.

Call me crazy but weren't you working on the front driver side at first?
Wheel alignment needed
When I removed this cv joint from my camry a heap of oil gushed out of the hole . I assume my manual gearbox is now empty of gear oil . is this normal ? please someone help.
Normal , you just have to refill your manual gear oil back after you install your new axle shaft.
Don't forget to check the fluid
What fluid
Every oil spot on this car is that same as my camry haha... My oil pan for some reason wasn't tightening down
Not going to replace the differential oil?
Can the axle offered by A1 Auto be used with either the V4 and V6 engines or does each have a different axle ?
+L V It may depend on your year, make and model. If you call our sales staff at 888-844-3393 we can help you over the phone
V4 is currently not used in any production cars. Cylinders are in a Line, called an I4
according to a parts store website, the part numbers are different from a v6 to a 4 cyl. the v6 uses the same part number for both sides.
krazi77 - you are saying the axle on the V6 is the same part on both sides? If so I think that is incorrect
do one passenger side mclaren speedtail
Online shop sent the wrong part safe shaft different spline 😭😭😭 and that c clip was a c*nt to put back on made it look way to easy
How about making it clear that you have to DRAIN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID before you pop the axle out? Might just prevent a small environmental disaster.
It's actually the front differential you'd drain, which has separate fluid from the transmission on this car (even though it's the same fluid). You'll need something to pump the new fluid in, as the fill plug is on the side of the diff in a tight space with no room for a funnel.
This is a 4 cylinder Camry...isn't CV axle different on a v6? I can't find a video for v6 95 Camry
+Subnoize Soulja This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular engine size. Thank you for asking! 1AAuto.com
This video says passenger side but he is on the driver side.
You said you were jacking it up with a Jack to take it out then in the video you are using a hoist
That's cute, you said you were replacing passenger side and you did driver side, knowing the passenger side is harder. Such brilliance.......
The technician starts on the Driver's side but does complete the repair of the RH CV Axle on the RH Passenger's side. Thanks for watching! +Guadlupe Rodriquez
Guadlupe Rodriquez - you might want to watch closer - he did the passenger side... must have watched first minute and deduced that incorrectly before commenting.
He just remove the driver side tire but replaced the passenger side axel. I caught that too.
at 5 minutes into the video, you show punching out the axle from the bearing mount. THE BOLT WAS ALREADY OUT! removes the bolt, or you going to have a bad day
Title is misleading, this is for the driver's side which is a different replacement process from the passenger side in this model year.
You act like u have enoph swing room under the car if u jack it . I cant get mine off not swing room
You go way to fast in your instructions!!!!
Why does it appear he is on driver side? Must be a rightside driver he.
