The fact you were willing to go under a car held up by only a jack and a rock on a dirt road makes this video deserve a million likes. You my friend are a daredevil and I respect it.
+Gerald dasilva Thank You for feedback. :-)
There is not just a rock, there is also a big piece of log under it, redundant safety, jackstands in that dirt would have just sank. If anything, he is a much safer mechanic than Americans here doing oil changes with bottle jacks. A+. This vid gave me lots of pointers.
I have been wrestling with half of the trans axle being stuck in the transmission for near on a a full day now, tried clamps / pullers / j bars etc etc.... this video was my last hope, and the good old Hammer & over sized flat head masonry ? drill bit from behind has finally done the job!!!!! after hours of tapping away and finding the optimum angle Peter Fin....... thanks a million man. all the way from Melbourne, Australia... where we would consider your fine self a "....Bloody Legend ! " 10/10 , excellent !!!
Hi and Thanks for comment. :-) Best Regards Peter
Peter Finn, thank you for helping me keep my 2004 Toyota on the road. You're a mighty man.
Thanks. I'm like a poor traveler on the road. 👍😀
Thank you for making a video showing how average people work on cars without proper equipment!
Thanks. And my idea is to do videos for beginners.
No way those ball joint bolts on the control arms and the hub nut will ever come out this easy, at least not in the damp and wet shitty uk where every car part turns to rust
Good job, Peter! Thank you for taking the time to show every little detail on doing this. Thanks for all the great work...God bless you!
Thanks my Friend. :-)
Not everyone has all the stuff to do work on their cars, I have used stuff that I had no choice to use and got the job done and saved $100 if not $1000's of dollars by avoiding a trip to the shop. The main things are safety and not breaking other stuff while fixing your car. He did both and got the car fixed. I think him taking the time to explain the procedure deserves respect. Thanks for making the video. 😎👍
Thank You and good comments. :-)
I have searched all of you tube and not one video showed me to take out the axle until I came across ur video and bam!!! very well demonstrated and I will subscribe thank u so much for this video
Hello, You are welcome. :-)
Great video mate, I love the Borat accent to, great work for helping the world !!! 10/10
Thanks!
This remained me working on cars back in Mexico
Every little job was a big challenge, basically doing a job without tools
Well done Sr, good video
Hi and Many Thanks for feedback. :-) Regards Peter
that's some nice improvise skills you have
Love to see ppl doing stuff without professional tools
Kai to Mak Thank You for comment.
The best video on the subject... my drive shaft popped out by the second stroke of hammer against the chisel. Thank you very much for sharing.
Glad it helped
Man I love how detailed these videos are.
Thanks for Your comment, :-)
Thank you for your video, how to CHANGE A DRIVE AXLE, it was VERY GOOD, STEP by STEP, you made it look really easy, now I know how to change my drive axle, thanks.
hey man that was an awesome video. your patience is outstanding. your step by step explanation from start to finish was excellent. you should me how what to expect on my toyota corolla project. from the perspective that i just watched, i wish we were best friends and you can help me with my toyota corolla. good luck to you. wish you the very best. this world needs more good people like you that help others. thank you very much. MACY
Sarah Vallido Thanks. It was great feedback.
My respects for this video, really tough scenario to work!
Thank you for sharing
Excellent video. I am going to replace one on a 1991 Corolla, and will try to do the seal in the transmission at the same time. Your detailed video will help.
Hi, Good luck to your work. Toyota's parts could be similar.
THANK YOU!!!!!! i have my air tools and stuff, but never changed one of these.Your video helped me alot. I kept thinking " if this guy can do it on the side of the road with hand tools and lumber, i have no excuse why i cant do it with alll the right tools. Again, thank you. ***** and thanks to the commenters for the heads up on breaking the 30mm bolt first. i would have made the same mistake. i know its a simple thing, but when you are trying for the first time, you get the blinders on thinking of the other stuff.
Thank You for comment. :-)
I also would like to thank you for your gratefull videos. It is really helpfull for me!
sergej stark Thank You for feedback.
You did a pretty good job for working outside without any professional lifting equipment! 👌
I appreciate that!
You make awesome videos! Really enjoyed this as I prepare to do the same on my mom's car!! You should be a teacher!!
Hello and Thanks. I have been sometimes teacher too.
Show Peter, você tem os melhores conteúdos sobre o Corolla... parabéns!
Thanks. :-)
You make the best repair videos as you show all the difficult parts. Hats off to you sir. Thank you.
Thanks Sir. 👍
thankyou very much for your video not so hard after all, cheers been a real help!
tom jones Thanks for comment.
Hello, thanks for your vídeo. I suggest to put a big screwdriver through the caliper to hold the disco. That has worked fine for me, and son need to
Great video and thanks for showing us simple tips 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
The best video ever thanks
thank you Peter on changed Axel by myself you are a good person
+Adrian Vallejo Hello and many thanks! :-)
Great videos and really good at replying to people.
Thank You. :-)
Thank you very mutch . I have to change it on my toyota corolla (modell 92-97) 97 touring .
It helps me a lot i guess . Great video .
Thanks.
Nice video , I have a different car, and been thinking to do it myself but maybe I'll let the mechanic do this for me, nice of you to respond to every comment here
worldpeace32 Hello. If you have a Toyota car, the replace wil be easy. But if you have another car brand, it could be more difficult.
Peter Finn Yes it is another different model , i think i can do the repair myself but a lack some important tools like the spring compression and it costs more money to buy than to replace the shaft by mechanics , thanks for replying
good work! the best part is that if I do it your way I dont need to go for Car Alignment.
Thanks for comment.
good work Peter ...
Nice video. This job can be a pain in the ass. I've done this job before but forgot the trick I used yo get the out. I couldn't get a pry bar or screwdriver between the axle and the drive axle because the sub frame didn't give me enough clearance. I used a chisel eith a hammer on the drive axle and it came right out.
Thank You for feedback. :-)
Its not pretty, but its exactly how I have to work on my 98 Corolla. I even use the log to jack stand my car lol. I like the fact that you show that its not necessary to pull the brake assembly apart.
Yes and You are welcome.
brother you are the man. thank you very much. this video was very helpful. i would have thought it was 20x's harder to change this cv axle out. un fortunitly the 2007 im working on is slightly different because of the pressed on bearing assembly but the just of the video is perfect. to the poiunt and very detailed. thank oyu for takeing the time to explain very thing out as clearly as possible as well. as i m an american you commuicated very well to us how truly easy it is to do this task with minial bull crap unlike other videos ive watched. i my friend thank you very much for helping my and my friend save alot of time and struggles and money doing it ourselves.. A+ al the way...
Nice but you could of just ask me bro I have changed out many
dam foreals shit i would have if i had known. ive never seen you work on your own stuff before...you know me bro im not scared to do it... but im use to rear wheel drive cars with v8's not frt wheel drives and 4 cylinders... lol good shit tho.
Lol yeah I used to work on 4banner all the time.
ya im working on bobs toyota so far ive done the front calipers and pads, rear rotors and shoes, and this monday im doing tranny drain and refill along with the cv axles on passanger side and drivers side... that is the only thing i cant find is how todo the passanger side. from what i gather from others is it is different not completely but slightly. so im still looking for the video with that in it. but this guy has alot of good how to's... and i plan on making mine since i finally found my camera again...
Thanks Sir, Your feedback was excellent !
Hey, Peter
Great video! I plan to replace mine in couple of weeks by your video instructions.
I have just one question:do we need to lift both front sides of the car, or just the side where we are replacing the axle?
Павел Русаков One side is enough.
Thanks for this great video, I'm planning to change mine tomorrow. I like the way you explain every step of the way. God bless you.
Fredis Joya Thank You for your comment.
Great film, I've learned a lot.
Glad to hear it!
I've got the repair manual for the Corolla, and alternative to the wood block for the breaks and having it in gear you can put a pry bar in-between 2 of the threads for the lugnuts and lock that against the floor, although I would imagine that would be easier on the 5 lug cars like my 04 Corolla.
Hi, Thanks for Your comment. :-)
thank you very much, very useful explanation
+Reymar M Hi and Thanks for your feedback. :-)
Thank you sir for your excellent video
Hi and Many Thanks for feedback. :-) Regards Peter
Is easier open the axle head lock nut when wheel is on. Then no need brake pedal pressing systems...
Great and Thank You for info.
Also just Impact Wrench, it opens easy without any accommodations.
Hi Peter i have one question my 2003 toyota Corolla is it the same socket to open the axel nut a 30 mm are i need a bigger one thx for the info continue the good work my friend
Amazing video pete
pedro perez Thanks.
Informative and Entertaining! DOBRA!
Thanks, Cobra.
Thank you very much for this video! . .. followed step by step with you and I changed out the axle. ... . Will this same basic process work on the passenger side as well?
MechArm1 Yes. Same idea.
Thank you Mr meerkat
Very helpful, thanks man..
Hi and Thanks for Your comment. :-)
First time changing a drivaxel, it was not difficult i must say. Your video help alot :)
Is there a video for refilling gearbox oil lost ? Great video this thanks
Edit: found one …. Changed oil now after changing drive shaft … old oil was really thin
Thanks for sharing 👍
great video thanks
Thanks for comment. 👍
Thanks Peter!
You Are Welcome !
I changed Axel by myself thank you
+Adrian Vallejo Hello and many thanks! :-)
Hi Peter I am going to do this on my 1994 Toyota Celica tomorrow so when I remove the axle the fluid that will leak out is transmission fluid since it is an automatic? So I just refill by adding Dextron III like I would when topping of transmission fluid?
goldiegoo Yes, You are right. Same amount new Dexron III oil ito nside, what went outside. Please insert canister below the car.
goldiegoo Yes, You are right. Same amount new Dexron III oil to inside, what went outside. Please insert canister below the car.
Hi Peter, Thanks for this video.. One trick: to block the axle you could use a strong screw driver placed in between one of the slots of the brake disc and lock it against the brake block. What do you think? Terveisia from Lpr, EK
Good idea
you could place a long pry bar between the wheel studs and the ground to stop the hub from turning.
Hi, Thanks for comment.
Just wondering....You cant adjust camber and caster stetting in this car, can you?
Put a scredriver in the ventilated rotor. The wooden log on the pedal is far harder to achieve
Did you refill any transmission oil? I have to do this repair myself and wonder do I need to fill more
Yes Rifill
thanks for video
Most welcome
Thank you!
Daniel McCrea Thank You for feedback.
Thanks for the nice tips. BTW I cannot separate my Honda outer Driveshaft , I've hammer many times and it Jammed. I've use my "95MM Car CV Joint Drive Shaft Assembly Installaiton Removal puller Tool " and pipe trick still cannot separate it.
Let me know you tips. Thanks again
axenz axtiz Hello. I have made new video on drive shaft dis assembly, please look it when it is ready. So, I am planning to some video also on Honda Civic.
Thankyou :)
Great Man
Thank You 👍😀
You don't have to mess around putting wood blocks on your brakes and all that to keep the wheel from spinning. Just put a bar in between the lug studs and touching the ground to keep it from spinning. Or put the wheel back on and lower the car down just until you break the axle nut loose.
Thanks for comment. 👍
Rocks and Tree Trunk ! How about mentioning that it would be great if one also had a Jack Stand and maybe a New Auto Parts Store bought Axle because the one you are installing is clearly a junkyard Axle.
+Robert Redford Your idea is good. Thanks for your feedback. :-)
you do a good job explaining, but i’d invest in some real jack stands if i were you.
Thanks 👍
I NEED TO CUT DOWN MY TREE TO HOLD MY CAR. OK VID
aguilarkatie Thank You.
Would doing it this way require a front end alignment when finished?
Yes
Can you tell me newton for three screws at the beginning? The main screw of axle is 200+ you said? I will do 210, is that enough?
Thank you for your message. I have read your message. 😀👍
Mitä öljyä kannattaisi tuonne laittaa jos samalla öljyt vaihtaa? Which oil should i use?
Do we need to refill the gear box oil after the replacement? I had my axle replace and there was a white liquid grease that was dripping. I ask the mechanic if that grease needed to be refill he said that was not necessary. Just wanted to confirm.
You are right. Always we need to refill gearbox after driveshaft replace. Same amount new oil in, what drained out.
is it the same process with the toyota ipsum 2000 and what are the estimated costs of the new and second hand drive shaft
Hi, used shaft costs about 100US$ and new one about 400US$.
Could you please put your links to your "opposing" side axle replace videos at the top of the screen? Where they are at the bottom, when I go to click them the control bar for the video pops up and won't allow me to click the link! Thanks. :)
+jchinckley Thanks. Good idea! :-)
The god bless him who has a good soul.
Thanks Sir. 🙂
I just did this on a 97 Toyota Tercel, but now the driver side wheel is locked up solid. wont move. Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Use more Force and hit hard. It clicks finally. Good work, Thanks ! 👍😀
What size bolt is the big one you took off before the clip n cover ?
sunnycloud69 This is Toyota's special bolt. Please visit Toyota original dealership shop. Price is about 7 US$.
The easiest way to loosen the axle nut is to insert a flat screw driver on the outer edge of the rotor. You have enough room to insert one and put it against the brake caliper bracket, it will not turn!
Thanks for this hint too.
Lol😂the the 4x2 on yhe brake pedal is epic. Try this on your next Mercedes-Benz 🙏🔫
How will i know if its time to change my CV axle?
Thanx for the video..
Good luck my friend. :-)
Clicking noise, rapid clicking...while turning your steering wheel. If your CV boots are ripped it’s just a matter of time before you have to replace the axle...
Hello! I'd like to ask about gearbox oil that flows out. When i pull the shaft out and the oil starts to flow to a vessel, can i return the same oil to the gearbox afterwards or do i have to add some new oil or is it fine if i dont add anything and it stays at it is?
Winten R Yes, if oil is clean. So No any sand or trash in oil.
Peter Finn Thank you for your answer. Also as i havent opened it yet, how much oil actually flows out? Only some of it or it keeps flowing till empty as its pretty hard to refill the gearbox in my opinion.
Oil drain out about 1 liter.
Peter Finn Thank you again. I managed to change it, but now another problem showed up. My steering wheel is not straight at all when driving. When i dont drive and turn my steering wheel straight, then one wheel seems to be a bit angled as the otherone is straight. Is it possible, that i broke something or should i align it somehow?
Winten R Hello. You need to adjust your Tie rod end. Look this video: th-cam.com/video/J7j8Es4IOi8/w-d-xo.html
so how do u know how tight is tight Enuff if one DOES NOT have a TORQUE WRENCH to tighten up the Bolt aftr getting DRIVE Axle put bk 2gether ????
+corrie robinson Ok, then use only long bar and your hand force.
IF YOU DON'T OWN A TORQUE WRENCH GO BUY ONE. IT IS A NECESSITY FOR THE HOME MECHANIC
i am trying to insert my new drive shaft into the gearbox, it has gone in and stoped not all the way. i have tried a hammer, to tap it in, any advice?
its a toyota yaris. thanks
+dave bram Dol you have just similar shaft? Toyota's parts goes normally very easy way.
Align the the teeth that goes into the transmission it needs to be perfectly aligned to go in smoothly
Hello! How you tup the transmission oil back?
Yes, but new oil.
10vuotta vanha video, mutta olis kyssäri mestarille aiheeseen liittyen.
Itellä on vm.99 manuaali e11 1.6 4afe:lla. Onko tietoa noiden vetoakselien yhteen sopivuuksista 1.6-1.3, automaatti-manuaali, vvtkone facelift-prefacelifti?
Ite pitäs akseli vaihtaa, mutta motonetti myy pelkkää vetoniveltä joten pitää hakea purkuautosta osa tai tilata ulkomailta eikä 100% tietoa mikä sopii.

Ok
What is the torque spec for the ball joint ? In a corolla 2001 ?
90 NM
will it work the same if the transmission is automatic?
Yes
My car makes a noise when accelarating not turning i think its the drive axle or the bearing it gets louder the faster u go what can it be . Toyota Celica 96 gt com.
Maybe wheel balancing too
wheel bearing
Do you need to put transmission fluid after?
Yes, about 2 liters
+Peter Finn but i heard if you have automatic transmission it wont leak
are you sure it 30mm this bolt or 29MM bolt ?
30 mm
Why don't you loosen that spindle nut while it is on the ground with the tire on, then jack it up.
Hello and Thanks for feedback. :-)
ja ja good tutorial""
Thanks. Good feedback. :-)
Can I use house bricks instead of logs please?
Yes. BR Peter
loosen axle nut wen on ground dude
Thanks for comment.
Jimbob Randoms that's right
The other side is not the same.. Have you done the other side?
Hi. Thanks for feedback. I need to do new video.
9 minutes in and we have our 1st bolt off. lol
Thanks for comment. :-)
but i have Toyota corolla 98 and 30MM bolt is not the right size and 28MM is to samll and i never see 29MM bolt.
Rust makes everything take twice as long to fix and last half as long as it should.
Thanks for comment 👍
how i going to refill the oil?
Gearbox oil fill video link is here: How to change gearbox oil Toyota Corolla. VVTi engine. Years 2000-2010
How much oil is there to refill if only changing the drive shaft?
all 3l
I hope that those rusty screws on my car will be as easy to be unscrewed as on your car! 🙏
Thank you for your message. I have read your message. 😀👍
What if I don't have moment tool aka torque wrench to tighten central nut any suggestions anyone
use a breaker bar and pipe on it and snug it up really good
Thanks for info 😀👍
