hey scotty,,. i just did the same job ..only the retaining clip looks like it broke on the way out.. i got the big peace but never found the tips ,, 02 accent gl 1.6,, what would you do?.
Thank you Scotty. You made this look so easy! Your video helped me tackle this myself and as a woman the only thing I didn't have was some of that elbow grease RUGH! The only extra tip I would say is leave the nut on when hammering the new axle into the transmission. Otherwise you risk damaging the threads.
I love that there are people like you out there that make these kind of videos. It reduces so much anxiety with the pleasant way you address car issues. Its so helpful for the average woman who has limited knowledge about cars and would like to to understand whats going on.
Great tip on putting grease on the end of the axle. I would extend that to put grease or better yet anti-seize on the splines on both ends of the axle to make removal easier next time. Rusted in cv axles are no fun. Also I wouldn't recommend to anyone to hit the tie rod on the castle nut like that. You can easily bend a prong on the castle nut and you'll never get it back on. Hit the steering knuckle where the tie rod goes through it instead. Works great and no risk of damaging anything.
Hey Scotty, army of one, be all you can be!!!!, i searched for this problem in my car and guess what?, found your video and my car is also a red hyundai accent....how crazy. I really like how you keep your narration to a minimum and spot on....thanks man
Thanks a million Scotty, you just pin pointed that noise my wife was complaining about... I have ordered the parts and will be changing out the cv shaft tomorrow. I was surprised how cheep the part was too. Good day sir and God bless.
Love your videos scotty am fairly mechanically minded but sometimes I need a bit of help. Luckily you explain and demonstrate in a way even someone with little experience can understand
I have a Acura TL that makes this annoying noise! Sounds like the Wheel of Fortune wheel. Thanks, now I have a fun, learning experience to tackle this summer.
Hi Scotty, I think your videos are awesome! You explain and demonstrate well.....I'm a woman comptiplating doing this myself...I believe I can now after seeing your thorough video. Thank you, Annemarie C.
Go for it. It takes patience. I did it myself, after watching YT videos and ordering a shop manual. I also bought an impact driver, which has saved me numerous struggles. Good luck!
Thanks my man i tried removing the outer cv and the whole drive shaft popped out, because of this video im confident that ill get it fixed before the end of the week 👍
Nice tutorial. This was the first problem I had to fix on my beloved Suzuki. I paid only ~16 bucks for the left outer joint. It has been working perfectly for 8 years and 50000 km. If somebody wants to replace only the joint it is highly advisable that throw away the no name grease that comes with the kit and replace it with some quality lubricant. (The inner joints need ordinary EP2 grease - eg.: Total Multis EP2 - without any solid additives and the outers need lubricant that has MoS2 improver eg: Total Multis MS2.)
On some cars you can just drop the ball joint out and then your whole wheel assembly can be pushed to the side and the CV axle will slide right out. This can actually be easier at times as apposed to the method shown in this video. and when you are done you won't need an alignment. However if you have an old rusted car, then getting the ball joint out can be a pain in the behind.
Great video. I'm diagnosing a popping/knocking noise from my front suspension/steering area. Had the sway bar links replaced before, so now I'm leaning towards the axles or shocks.
Hi scotty kilmer I Love to watch your video's But i dont have a car because i'm only 15 i have to wait 3 years more than i can get a car And then i go fix it my self :D Srry for bad english i'm comming from holland
So what do I do if I don't have a transmission dipstick. Looked ALL over the engine and couldn't find it. Took it to a couple local mechanics and even they couldn't locate it. Dealership told me it's entirely sealed? What's up with that? Any help Scotty?
yep, the evil engineers make most of them that way so they have to be serviced at the dealer or by a pro mechanic with special tools and more knowledge. It's all about MONEY.
Alot of vehicles just have a fill hole with no dip stick. You just remove the plug and stick your pinky in there to check the level. If the fluid is right at the hole, you're good. But some cars, especially German cars, have fully sealed transmissions that only a transmission shop or dealership could charge you a fortune to service.
VW transmissions in the past had 2 plugs, one at the diferential to drain and other in the the back of the transmission to fill. The procedure is simply fill till it starts leaking from the filling hole. Its that simple, no need for a dipstick.
Great video! I tried replacing the CV axle on my 95 Subaru Legacy last week and could not get the lower control arm to separate. Whacked it with a sledge like you did, heated it with a torch, tried pretty much everything. I even put the bolt on loosely like you did there and jacked the car up, then dropped it but it still wouldn't budge!
Love the Vids you are great. I have to ask about blooper videos and if you ever thought of making like a blooper from the years passed. I work at a dealership and everyday someones boliing over about fingers smashed or something is a pain to fix. It would be soo funny to see you get pissed off at a car or a mishap. Cheers Live free!!
Scotty thank you so much! I recently started working on my car and just found your channel again right when I needed it. I was terrified my transfer case or front differential had blown up, but thankfully it’s only the CV joint.
Scotty, heads up: some cars don't have two CVs on each axle. On them, there's one CV outboard, and inboard is a tripod bearing meshed into an inner driver cup with a boot covering the whole thing. The boot is held on with a big hose clamp. If your car's this way you will never pry the inner driver out of the transmission because there's something in there holding it in. Saabs are like this. To get this out, when you get to the stage where you'd have to pry the CV out of the transmission, just loosen the hose clamp and tug. It'll come right off. Make sure you're not under it so you don't get conked in the head when one of the bearings falls out of it - and at least one bearing will fall out. To put it back in, pack the inner driver with CV grease, work the tripod bearing in, reassemble your front end, and then slide the boot into place and clamp it on.
Love your channel scotty, wish you would upload vids 2 or 3 times a week but I know it's not easy. You remind me of my old mechanic boss, old school folks are THE best.
Look at the label at 3:36 smart guys. Pause and zoom in and you'll see it's a bottle of Pentosin ATF! Transmission fluid, kiddies. Observe before making asses of yourselves.

Hands down the easiest to follow video I have ever watched on a cv joint replacement... I just wished I would have found it before I already replaced them! ha ha
Scotty, I think it'd be really great if you did one of these DIY videos every once in a while. They were really well done and entertaining. Heck they inspired me to start taking care of my car myself.
great video again scotty although long as people remember when reassembling the cv nut that on most vehicles there is a torque spec that needs to be in place so it doesnt ruin the wheel bearing/hub assembly
Hey Scotty Kilmer how much do you think this repair would run me? I dont really have the tools or the time to make the repairs myself most of the time, but ive been watching your videoes for about a year now and i love how informative your videos have been. I don't want some mechanic to over charge me
Damn your the best Scotty. Always appreciate you beaming us up your great technical expertise and DIY repair tips. You're easy to listen to and always right-on in layman's terms. Keep-up the great work Scotty. We love you !!
Looking at the color of the trans fluid, it needs to be replaced. I did learn one thing from what Scotty shows and that is to put grease on the end of the axle before putting it in the transmission. I have been fixing cars for 30 some years. First things major that I did was make a new wiring harness for the engine on a 64 chevy after the thing caught fire due to carburetor problems. The float was stuck, and flooded the engine and poured fuel all over the top of the engine. There are few things that I can't fix, but just as Scotty said in his videos about mistakes that he has done in the past. I have done the same thing and that is taking on jobs that are not worth my time, and I would be better off rejecting them (or as a former boss said don't say no just quote a high enough price to make it worth your trouble.)
I fixed this once on the Mercedes c300 2009 model, the section thats in the transmission is actually hard to get out especially when the car is only 1-2 foot off the ground with minimal space to move. What worked for me is I hit a piece of wood with a hammer and the vibration that transferred knocked it out
Wow my 95 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme is making this noise. At first it was only when i turn corners. Now it does it while just accelerating period. Im glad i found this video i couldnt for the life of me figure out that noise.
Scotty Thank you again for your *great* video! Now I know how to do the CV axle on my '95 Avalon--only dif I think is i have to remove 5 or 6 bolts to get the assembly out instead of just popping the spline out :(
is it true that if if clacks while turning left its the right CV axle that needs replacing? I just had the left one replaced and I still get that noise about half the time I turn left. sometimes its quiet accelerating into that turn sometimes not
Great video..... Plus if you wait to long your tire is gonna fold over when your slowly driving down the road.... Or you can just turn the radio up over the noise
Great video. Some cars (my Mazda included) require a new axle nut and a dab of anti seize on the mating surface to make it torque right and stay. Went through two new nuts before I figured that out.
I have sounds coming out of front- passager-side wheel. Sounds are most noticeable when turning left at slow speed. But there is nothing leaking and CV joint rubber mount is in good shape. They charge $70 to $120 locally just to look at it.
@@MaYHeMLifts one day I saw a mudguard hanging under the car, and found both mudguards loose. Fixed them in place and haven't heard that sound since, which local Midas was ready to replace front struts for nearly $800.
Thanks a lot! This exactly happens in my case, but only when you turn to the right, it also can be heard when you shift gears(i mean when you let off the gas).
I will attempt this soon. But is there any locking rings on the transmission side of the CW joint? Newer model Altima 2019. I saw where you just popped pop CV joint out..

Scotty Kilmer hello, does that also a problem that can be solved on a bmw xdrive?
Scotty, you didn't leave a link for "common sense" on the things used in this video...🤔
hey scotty,,. i just did the same job ..only the retaining clip looks like it broke on the way out.. i got the big peace but never found the tips ,, 02 accent gl 1.6,, what would you do?.
Scotty i wanna advice from you what you think CV made from china?
Should you change both sides even if one of the two is failing??
Thank you Scotty. You made this look so easy! Your video helped me tackle this myself and as a woman the only thing I didn't have was some of that elbow grease RUGH!

I'm hard just hearing her talk. I'm 30 years old
Great tip on putting grease on the end of the axle. I would extend that to put grease or better yet anti-seize on the splines on both ends of the axle to make removal easier next time. Rusted in cv axles are no fun.

I feel like i can rebuild a whole car watching your videos ...
***** And patience.
alcohol can also do that.
Yeah, Scotty's "Eh" even tells us what kind of torque we should apply bolting stuff on.
Yeah cars ant tht hard its them benz and god awful BMW's they have massive problems if they are 5 + years old.
You’re almost to manhood... 😂 when you can do it, then you are a young man.
Scotty makes working on any car soooo much easier! We are extremely grateful for his videos👍
This is the absolute BEST MOST USEFUL TH-cam channel for the common man!!!!!
Nigel John Do you really think it can be done in 4 minutes? If so then is he charging the customer for 4 minutes of work?
This guy's awesome. He makes it look so easy.
he does, but I wouldn't trust myself to do it lol
Yeah this one in particular. It's excellent skilled labor what he demonstrates.
That's what happens when you do it for 50 years lol
i m looking for a cv axle left and right for a Suzuki alto 1999 1.0 benzine can some one help me find them
Aviators how
Hey Scotty, army of one, be all you can be!!!!, i searched for this problem in my car and guess what?, found your video and my car is also a red hyundai accent....how crazy. I really like how you keep your narration to a minimum and spot on....thanks man
Great job keeping it simple I am currently attending auto school and watching this videos keeps me ahead of the game by knowing the basics
Thanks a million Scotty, you just pin pointed that noise my wife was complaining about... I have ordered the parts and will be changing out the cv shaft tomorrow. I was surprised how cheep the part was too. Good day sir and God bless.
Love your videos scotty am fairly mechanically minded but sometimes I need a bit of help. Luckily you explain and demonstrate in a way even someone with little experience can understand
You are the perfect teacher in EVERY single way!! I even watch your videos when I am not doing that video project!! 😊 Thanks for sharing with us
I have a Acura TL that makes this annoying noise! Sounds like the Wheel of Fortune wheel. Thanks, now I have a fun, learning experience to tackle this summer.
check the cv joints at the front wheels first, if boots are ripped, you need new ones
Scotty is the man. He makes everything look easy
Hi Scotty, I think your videos are awesome! You explain and demonstrate well.....I'm a woman comptiplating doing this myself...I believe I can now after seeing your thorough video. Thank you, Annemarie C.
Go for it. It takes patience. I did it myself, after watching YT videos and ordering a shop manual. I also bought an impact driver, which has saved me numerous struggles. Good luck!
that's gangsta girl I like that
breaker bar or impact wrench is my advice. Take your time and remember how it goes back together n u will be fine. easy
job if u can follow directions
Do it. My girlfriend rebuilt an entire engine and when I was in welding class I sat next to a girl.
Good Luck
man, you're a life saver. not to mention cost savings and hassle of car in shop. thanks a million
Thanks my man i tried removing the outer cv and the whole drive shaft popped out, because of this video im confident that ill get it fixed before the end of the week 👍
im working in hankook tyre as a alignment technician/tire technician. And I would like to say is, this guy awesome :) .
good job sir. ;) keep it up.
Scotty has so much experience lol he does everything with such ease. Every mechanic has there own way of working on cars.
I like the sound effectd....tighten the strut mount...ARHHH......tighten the lug nuts...ARHHHH!!!
His grunts are how he measures how much torque to use. That's why he doesn't need a torque wrench. 👍
You are awesome. I have learned so much from you. I have over 620,000 miles on my Windstar and I intend to keep it going..... with your help. Dan
I would say that's a miracle my windstar has 195,000 and I love it but some days I would like to drive it into a river
"And get the axle nut on nice and tight... RUGH! Put the tire back on and the lug nuts... UGH!"
Literally my favorite part of his Videos.
Haha I read that perfectly in his voice. Your transposition is on point. Take my genuine chuckle sir.
Don’t forget sometimes “YA GOTTA WIGGLE IT A LITTLE..... UHHHH!!” Not in this video but it’s my favorite Scotty-ism of all time 😂😂😂
Legend has it he doesn't need a torque wrench cause how much he grunts determines the right amount of torque needed for that operation. 👍
Nice tutorial. This was the first problem I had to fix on my beloved Suzuki. I paid only ~16 bucks for the left outer joint. It has been working perfectly for 8 years and 50000 km.

That was some strange looking transmission fluid you poured back in. Looked more like motor oil kinda?
It was motor oil I saw that too. Shhh
@@lukepecoraro8600 could be manual transmission. honda manual fluid is basically motor oil.
On some cars you can just drop the ball joint out and then your whole wheel assembly can be pushed to the side and the CV axle will slide right out. This can actually be easier at times as apposed to the method shown in this video. and when you are done you won't need an alignment. However if you have an old rusted car, then getting the ball joint out can be a pain in the behind.
you know you seriously love a channel when you turn adblock off lol
thank you, that's how I get paid so I will continue making these free videos for everyone
Great video. I'm diagnosing a popping/knocking noise from my front suspension/steering area. Had the sway bar links replaced before, so now I'm leaning towards the axles or shocks.
Hi scotty kilmer
I Love to watch your video's
But i dont have a car because i'm only 15 i have to wait 3 years more than i can get a car
And then i go fix it my self :D
Srry for bad english i'm comming from holland
I hope i can find a mechanic like you who is very trustworthy
You make it look so easy. No blood coming out of you knuckles either lol. I would have.
This guy has help me maintain my car that’s crazy he does it so easy and quick
So what do I do if I don't have a transmission dipstick. Looked ALL over the engine and couldn't find it. Took it to a couple local mechanics and even they couldn't locate it. Dealership told me it's entirely sealed? What's up with that? Any help Scotty?
yep, the evil engineers make most of them that way so they have to be serviced at the dealer or by a pro mechanic with special tools and more knowledge. It's all about MONEY.
Alot of vehicles just have a fill hole with no dip stick. You just remove the plug and stick your pinky in there to check the level. If the fluid is right at the hole, you're good. But some cars, especially German cars, have fully sealed transmissions that only a transmission shop or dealership could charge you a fortune to service.
VW transmissions in the past had 2 plugs, one at the diferential to drain and other in the the back of the transmission to fill. The procedure is simply fill till it starts leaking from the filling hole. Its that simple, no need for a dipstick.
You probably have cvt oil its hidden look it up
@@scottykilmer man thats why i love your content, that piece of truth right there!👍✌
Great video! I tried replacing the CV axle on my 95 Subaru Legacy last week and could not get the lower control arm to separate. Whacked it with a sledge like you did, heated it with a torch, tried pretty much everything. I even put the bolt on loosely like you did there and jacked the car up, then dropped it but it still wouldn't budge!
My car, creaks and clacks and moans and groans and sounds like an old mattress and that's even before I start the engine.
Sounds more like my ex-wife.

I think you put engine oil instead of transmission fluid lol
It was jus a video showing how u do it that car was a trash he just used it to do a video
Shut up
Love your channel scotty, wish you would upload vids 2 or 3 times a week but I know it's not easy. You remind me of my old mechanic boss, old school folks are THE best.
i hope that wasnt motor oil you put in the transmission.
I was thinking the same thing
Charles Jones Most likely CVT transmission fluid. It looks just like oil.
Yeah this guy makes so many mistakes.
pablo marquez atf & gear oil does get black when it gets old
Look at the label at 3:36 smart guys. Pause and zoom in and you'll see it's a bottle of Pentosin ATF! Transmission fluid, kiddies. Observe before making asses of yourselves.
thank you Scotty, I had done this procedure taking off the sway bar link, and the lower ball joint, but this way looks easier, lest nuts....
takes less than 4 minutes.
;)
Holy moly... well done. everything I need in less than 4 minutes. Well done.
thank you i I went to the mechanics and they didn't even know what it was thank you for saving my life

and the magic of editing...lol

is it true that if if clacks while turning left its the right CV axle that needs replacing? I just had the left one replaced and I still get that noise about half the time I turn left. sometimes its quiet accelerating into that turn sometimes not
Great video..... Plus if you wait to long your tire is gonna fold over when your slowly driving down the road.... Or you can just turn the radio up over the noise
Bro, you've saved me thousands of dollars! Cheers! and keep the videos comin...
Scotty took 3 minutes and 51 seconds to change his axle- I took 3 hours and 51 minutes to change mine- but- it works :)
2:30 How do you know the clip on the axle has snapped into place properly?
Great video. Some cars (my Mazda included) require a new axle nut and a dab of anti seize on the mating surface to make it torque right and stay. Went through two new nuts before I figured that out.
I have sounds coming out of front- passager-side wheel. Sounds are most noticeable when turning left at slow speed. But there is nothing leaking and CV joint rubber mount is in good shape. They charge $70 to $120 locally just to look at it.
Amir A ever get it fixed?
@@MaYHeMLifts one day I saw a mudguard hanging under the car, and found both mudguards loose. Fixed them in place and haven't heard that sound since, which local Midas was ready to replace front struts for nearly $800.
He is completely dialed in I love this video, awesome guy!!!
This is a dream he makes it look so easy when I know it would be a night mare. God please send me a good mechanic
If you have ADHD and want to learn how to fix something without watching 2 hours of videos, this is your guy. LOVE IT!!
I'm no mechanic but this is too easy to follow! 😎👍
Thanks a lot! This exactly happens in my case, but only when you turn to the right, it also can be heard when you shift gears(i mean when you let off the gas).
I miss the old days when Scotty still did diy videos
Same here!
I will attempt this soon. But is there any locking rings on the transmission side of the CW joint? Newer model Altima 2019. I saw where you just popped pop CV joint out..
Give this guy a show hes great
Excellent lesson and complete demonstration.
Great video man that was a huge help .... Before seeing this I was worried thinking "how am I going to get this fixed" ?
You make it look so simple, Scotty.
