- **The lug nuts should be torqued down to 150 foot pounds. Also, the axle nuts in my Chilton and Haynes manual say 20 foot pounds, but everywhere online shows 30 foot pounds.**
**Also, make sure you apply some grease to the inboard side of the CV Axle before pushing it into the front diff!**
Welcome back everyone! In this video, Bob is replacing the driver side CV Axle in his 2013 F150 STX. This guide will be similar to all F-150's ranging from 2004 to 2020. Some bolt sizes may be different across the generations, but overall it will be a very similar process. Thanks for watching and let us know in the comments what you think!

Just replaced both cv axels on my F150 and used your videos as a guide. Went very smooth. Thank you!
Thata great to hear man, I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🤟
Thank you very much for taking the time and teaching me how to change mine, very grateful.🎉
Absolutely man! We are glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! 🤟
Most thorough and well described TH-cam car or truck repair video. I was just happy you included the sizes of nuts and bolts, but then to offer part numbers as well? What's wrong with you? lol
🤣 I have too much time on my hands. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Fantastic video man Keri up the great work
Thanks man I really appreciate the kind words! And thank you for watching! 🤟
Awesome break down
Thanks! And thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟
When I attempted to pull my axle, the problem with it was the boot was ripped so pulling on it ripped it off and I needed to remove the first part of the axle just before the first boot. What I ended up doing was putting the axle back into the metal. Put a pair of vice grips on the end to hold it in and used it like a slide hammer. Worked after three pulls after an hour of hammering. Thank you for your detailed instructions, my friend. 🙏
Wow that's insane! Glad you got it off though! Hopefully this comment can help someone else that runs into that issue! Thanks for sharing! 🤟
Best one yet
Thank you so much! 🤟
Your videos are great!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Did you put grease on inboard cv axle shaft before you put it into diff?
Nope, good catch! I know I applied it on the passenger side, but I completely forgot on this side. Thanks for pointing that out as I didn't even realize I forgot!
How close to the diff should the cv axle sit? The old axle was shaped differently than the new one. I have seated the cv axle as far as i can go. And it is pretty close to the diff. But it just seems like it could go a little further.
Before putting the CV axle back in make sure it is grease. Otherwise you’re gonna have a big problem. Great video.
Yea someone mentioned that like a week ago and I couldn't believe I forgot. I did it on the passenger side, but for some reason forgot on the driver side. Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull it back out soon because I don't want it to get seized up down the road.
You didn’t replace the diff seal half came off of it and you just through the new shaft in?
Nope. If it isn't leaking, it's not really necessary. I also only have 110k miles on my truck. If I had over 200k, then I would consider it.
Thanks for watching! 🤟
I'm doing this now. My axle doesn't want to come out. Guess I just have to keep pulling on it. I should have replaced the axles when I removed my shocks, when I was upgrading them. :( I would have had more space.
The driver side is such a pain man, just keep working it. Eventually it will pop loose. If you have a rubber mallet, or something you can hit it with, that can help break loose the rust that's binding it. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
@@TrickShiftGarage I got it out. Couple whacks with the mallet and used a pry bar. Now just trying to get the new oil seal back in. lol.
Awesome man! Glad you got it out!
Just did my wheel bearings, still have a hum or vibration when turning left......is this usually the issue? 2017 F150 5.0 4x4 with 176k on it
Thanks for the video btw
Were the hubs full of rust? If so, you may need to use a wire wheel or a wire brush to clean them up a little but before putting the wheel bearing on.
@@TrickShiftGarage No, sir.I live in the south they were clean
Have you replaced the IWE's?
@TrickShiftGarage No I haven't. What are the symptoms of that?
So there tends to be intermittent noises (sometimes it's a humming noise, sometimes a grinding noise). The best way to tell if it is the IWE's, is once you hear the noise, put your truck into 4WD. If the noise goes away, then it could be an IWE issue. If the noise stays, it is something else.
IWE's are kind of a pain to replace, and known to fail on Ford Trucks, as well as the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. They seem to go up every 75k to 100k miles.
Bro I genuinely am curious is your outer tie rod upside down
Made me think I installed my stuff wrong 😅
No
What if I don’t have a torque wrench?
That's a hard thing to judge. A lot of mechanics can get by because they have worked on cars for a long time and kind of know how much 30 foot pounds feels, compared to 50 foot pounds.
I would strongly advise you get a torque wrench though. It takes the guess work out of it.
Can I swap my 2012 Ford F-150 lower control arms and struts to a 16 model.
I don't believe so, but I'm not 100% sure to be honest.
