Good tip with the Jack under the tie rod I don't know how many times I've replaced tie rod ends because of that reason when I really either couldn't afford to at the time or didn't want to do that much work on the vehicle at one time
Hell yeah buddy, awesome tip!
Def agree. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself...I've used a similar trick on antique stuff.
Yea buddy, it just wasnt in the budget this week to do CV, bearings, AND tie rod ends..
James McIntyre there has only been one time this didn’t work for me. I ended up cutting through the tierod
Same thing happens to me when I did my hub... Only 2 outta 3 bolts were in 🤷♂️. Luckily I had that extra rusty D30 laying around to take one from. Great work as always 👍
Apparently every Jeeper should have an old D30 rusting in the backyard. haha
The tips are really appreciated ! Time is valuable and these can save a lot and frustration too. You Rock !
"hackery" we've all been there a few times, good stuff Doug I'm getting smarter every day, thanks man.
Thanks buddy!
Great Video. Thank You. I am getting ready to do mine today. You make it look so easy. AWESOME. !!! Good Day.
The sound of that old cv joint made my bones hurt.
Right? haha... sorry for that
Rigo M. Yeah that thing was toast
I recently discovered that my passenger side CV is torn. I have a vibration that occurs when I slow down but not come to a complete stop.
Love it man! The screwdriver idea is genius. If it hasn't been mentioned yet, you really should torque hub nuts with weight on the wheel. The idea behind torquing this nut isn't to keep it from coming off, its to pre-load the bearing. That pre-load should be applied with the suspension collapsed to ride height. this way the inner and outer races of the bearing are in alignment and not angled away from each other.
That is very good advice and it makes perfect sense. I will change how I torque these in the future. thanks!
Question: With weight on the wheel would there be much of a problem reaching the hub nuts in order torque them correctly?
@@YOUZTUBE2000 you’ll want to leave off your wheel center cap so you can access them. Once torqued, pull the wheel, replace the castle nut cage thingy and put in a new cotter pin. Replace the center cap in the wheel and remount. It’s a little extra work but worth it in my opinion.
Thanks
Big thanks for the tips! Just did axles and bearings on both sides yesterday. 👍
Looks great! Good tips
Ah, I shoulda looked up this video sooner smh. I am re-installing my old CV axle and the joint is a little sloppy but not bad. I'm been trying to slide it back in but can'r get it to go straight but after watching your screwdriver method I will try that and hopefully avoid having to remove the diff cover to guide the shaft. Thanks for making this channel and sharing your knowledge I very much appreciate this, liked and subbed.
Thanks for the tip with the tie rod.
Best video I've seen for this job! If your ever in Southern Oregon I'll buy you a beer and we can talk Jeep. I have 3 Grand Cherokees and this is a lot great info. Thank you! Liked and subscribed!
Good tip klauss!
Hey brother quick question, I have 2001 Jeep Cherokee xj and replacing the existing u-joint Axel shafts with CV joints. My question is this: will the CV axels work with those fancy shiny metal Axel tube seals? (Red with black rubber stripes?
Also, how would you suggest reassembly? Should I install the actual first and then put on knuckles or vice versa?
Thanks Man for all the great videos! Lied and subscribed!
Loving it and then the nail cotter pin..people think I'm crazy because for my battery terminals I have clamps, u know the king round with screw . I break every single battery terminal connector I touch....they been on there over a year. Clean them up here and there just like you would regular terminal things good to go. Thanks for all the info. I'm pretty sure my wj got that issue. The boot is torn away and grass is everywhere. Death wobble on steroids. even if that's not the problem for my death wobble it needs replacing I'm sure just and I haven't even taken apart yet. I don't like to go nowhere anyway so if Jeep jacked up. I dontt not go nowhere...
You dont have to be exact while pulling or installing the shafts. The axle seals are cone shaped and guide the axleshaft into place.
What brand did you use and how is it holding up?
After years of seeing RockAuto commercials everywhere I turn, it appears it will be a D&E video that finally drives me to their store. Got a ripped CV boot on my 2000 WJ quadra-drive, front left. Any recommendations on the various suppliers of replacement axles I find on RockAuto ie GSP, Surtrack/Trakmotive, Cardone?
I am a big fan of Cardone. I have to say, bud. I have not had a bad experience on RockAuto ever. I know a few people who claimed to get shotty parts, but when I weigh the price and convenience, I have ALWAYS been satisfied. Good luck bud!
dude just want to say i got my first jeep the other day, and god damn will i lose it if i see one of yall out on the road
and i will most definitely be transferring some of these tricks onto my JK.
Heck yea! Keep the Jeep tradition alive!
Keepin the jeep family growin
Ive got a '99 wj and when i go to put in my front passenger side cv axle it slides in almost all the way until it stops at like 2 inches from fully in. The splines go in to the gear cause it doesnt turn but stops a couple inches early
Hey Bud, good job! Just what I needed to see, thank you. Man I can tell you've got a northern Jersey Grand i.e. fender, holy sh#t. Keep'm Com'n!
Haha... yea man. That fender is nearly gone. Looking for a replacement, but I cannot seem to find my color in the yards yet
Isn't there a kit to replace it with a standard U joint axle?
I didn't think a CV could get any worse than my wife's was, but I am wrong! That thing there could only be worse if it broke a finger hahhaa
Yes, this was worst I have seen. Probably should not have let it go that long
But you go to use torque specs even better you got to use torque sticks keep doing what you're doing I'm sure somebody's going to have a fit I've never had a problem with the good in tight method
Amen to that
When I finally get all my parts together i'm gonna jimmy jam the hell out of my Jeep! I hope to record it and show that a first timer can do this just from watching your videos!
Have:
2.5" lifted Springs & Shocks (Fat Bob's Garage)
New Steering Dampener (Fat Bob's Garage)
Extended Sway Bar Links (Fat Bob's Garage)
242HD Transfer Case (Ebay)
Still Need:
SYE for 242HD (? no idea what i'm doing here)
Double Cardan drive shafts front and back (local shop)
New Control arms (upper and lower front, upper rear) (Rock-Auto)
Ball Joints & Bushings (Rock-Auto)
Coil Spring Seat/Insulators (Rock-Auto)
CV axles and bearings (Rock-Auto)
That would be awesome bud! I am sure you will do great
Those 12 point hub bolts are hard to find,I drove around a couple days with only two,till I got another and had no issues
Yea, I think I am going to pull some spares at the yard after this experience
cant wait to do the wj knuckle swap on my zj
I have never done it, but I hear it is night and day for handling
bigger brakes better steering setup only down side my local pnp wants $200 for all the parts needed
screwdrivers are wd40 in stick form. and looks like it is Delightfully easy to replace CV joint on Solid axles than do it on IFS
It truly TRULY is. One of the reasons I love solid front axles so much. Everything is easier. Axle shafts, steering boxes, tie rods...
Nice job Doug.Mabey a viewer will send you some cotter pins....lol...
Right? I admit that was a little embarrassing. I did not realize until I was into the project that I literally had zero in the garage.
I just did this yesterday and the wheel hubs 😠
Wait ,, what,, wtf is smooze? Me and Dan H want to know what is the diffinitive difference between a wj and a zj?
Biggest most obvious would be the body styling. If I recall the ZJ still contained some AMC parts and design, the WJ was all Chrysler from then until when Fiat got their hands on them then it all went downhill even further.
LOL... "Schmoo" is an aVe term I seem to have picked up from watching his channel.
The German Method. Goodentight.
HAHA... Yep!
Man that CV was in bad shape
Yea man, This is the first one I have ever pulled where you could make it click in your hands
I think my exwife gave me that once,,,,😂
