Sometimes it can be a pita especially if the shaft is on the car, if you don't have a mate handy you might be able to get zip ties round a resonance block or something to hold the shaft in, if you take it out you might need to top up your gear box oil some spill some don't so have a container underneath incase and then top up the same amount that came out or better yet drain and refill the transmission! Lots of people just replace axels these days as they are cheap personally I think the oem ones are such better quality it's better to rebuild! Good luck....

      I bought the tool at Biltema (Scandinavian parts store) here in Norway about 10 years ago. The boot I use is designed to stretch over the joint. You can also use a cone if you don’t have the pneumatic spreader tool.

      @@InTheVise I see, I didn't realize you are in Norway. I've checked on Amazon, unfortunately that company (Biltema) is not present on site. The most expensive here in US is Dorman tool (and less negative reviews). On many the reviews state that the boot doesn't spread even at 150 psi, and then unexpectedly gets torn. The cone I think (from the film I saw) requires certain physical abilities. Well I don't need it right now, in the future I'll just try Dorman. Thank you very much for all the explanations.

      It would probably cost about 14 times as much and how can it be easier ?. You can replace the outer boot in less than an hour without this expensive tool or the special flexi boot. Once you've removed the shaft/cv from the hub the cv joint is only held on by a circlip. Flex the clip with circlip pliers and the joint will slide off followed by the rubber boot. Put the new boot on the shaft and clean and inspect the removed join and then re pack with grease. The joint will then just slide back on to the the shaft and click into place.

      Would you just replace the hole axle or buy the boot? I've replaced an axle before, in fact, a little over a year ago, and while inspecting my brakes a few weeks ago, I discovered grease flung everywhere due to a torn boot. My guess is it's from running something over on the highway ( I have a few times since the axle replacement), and my under-body panels have been off due to them gradually tearing apart.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the bolts were over-torqued since they were done up with a rattle gun and then only checked with a torque wrench. The bolts should have been spun up and then finally tightened with a torque wrench to the specified torque that would certainly have seen movement with the torque wrench. All that is shown here is that the bolts have been tightened to at least the specified torque and are probably tighter that may have gone beyond the bolts yield limit. Note also that the bolt threads have not been cleaned so that any torque applied will be inaccurate.

    What else can be worn in the CV Axle besides the boot. I found that on line the following: The frequency of replacing CV axles depends on how often you drive your car and on the driving conditions that the car goes through on a regular basis1. Some vehicles don’t even require CV axle replacement until their tenth year. I've replace on our 2003 Chevy Cavalier PS CV Axle just bcs of the age and mileage (~110 K). With the DS I struggle, since very limited space around. I think maybe to leave that Axle, nothing wrong with it. But from another side it is old. I would appreciate any opinion on this question. Thank you for the great and detailed film. I saw that tool to put a boot on, but didn't know how to use it till this film.

    • @InTheVise
      @InTheVise  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks😀 You can hear noise when you turn hard in slow speed if it is any play in the cv joint. As long as the boot is ok, and enough grease, they lasts forever. Many replace the hole axle and joints when the boot tears. And they replace it with cheap aftermarket Chinese parts that doesn’t hold up for a very long time. My old car, VW T4, ran almost 500000km (310.000 miles) with the stock cv joints. I only replaced the boots and grease a couple of times.

      @@InTheVise Thank you for so quick replay. Our Chevy had a humming noise in the area of engine, so on the PS. But it came only when driving 15mph or more. The sound was like smth heavy and not centered started to rotate, and that uneven angular motion caused it. The was no sound at Idling, and the sound never changed when you shift gears at driving. After ~59mph it was almost the same, like automatic weapon. Sometimes turning left it could be heard whining sound, but not that typical knocking sound, which indicates bad CV Axle. How I know that sound, it was like that on another our car (2001 Saturn SL2, it had ~120K at that time). I replaced both CV Axles on Saturn and the problem gone. So I still hope that the hamming sound on Chevy related to some suspension problem and not the engine, like Connecting Rod(s). I have TRQ CV Axles, TRQ is pretty good company I think, I bought many parts from them, everything works fine. I've read somewhere that worn strut can make some noise. On Chevy there was only one leaking (on the rear DS), but I'm replacing all of them of course (just Front DS is left). And another thing, maybe you know, can a broken Radiator Cooling Fan make that type of hamming sound. I replaced radiator there and saw that the fan didn't work, so replaced the motor in it. Thank you again.

      I could do the job as quick without the stretching tool or the special flexi boot. He'd already done the hard part and would then only have to flex the clip with the circlip pliers to remove the cv joint from the shaft. The old boot would then slide off without any cutting. The joint could then be thoroughly inspected cleaned and re greased and then just pushed back on. Over kill I think.

Sometimes the joint can be hard to get off the axle (especially when mounted on the car). But if You want to take the joint off, it is ok for me. Your car, your choice. Cheers🍻
