I made a video for this same job same vehicle.. I did not have to remove the ball joint from the spindle. I dont reccomend doing it that way as its more difficult. Its easier to remove the spindle from the struts with the 2 21mm bolts. They always come loose and no it does not require an alignment when you reassemble. awesome video by the way.
@Grey Matter Interesting. I didn't think of that. I also took the inside boot off and pulled the joint from the housing at the transmission instead of struggling to get the whole axle out. Sad thing is I just stumbled on CV axle grease on the driveway again. Looks like my last boot repair lasted almost 4 years. So not bad. Think i'm just going to replace both CV axle assemblies this time.
29:40 The hash marks he's indicating are for cold TF, just above that there are the "HOT" TF indicators. He demonstrated the correct positioning of the dip stick turned 180 degrees from its locked in position to check fluid level.
Perfect video...Professional job well done. I'm doing the CV Boots and Front Struts replacement on my Nissan Pathfinder 2001 SE now))))...it's has 87000km only...I bought Clamp tool as you have))))
Do you really have to pull the axle out of the transmission? It looks like you can just take the boot off, pop the slip ring, and pull just the CV joint out. That would eliminate the trans fluid spill, but you'd have to do the re-booting and CV/slip ring under the car.
When removing or reinstalling the joint onto the splines, does it have to be on a certain spline? Meaning does it have to be marked to go back on the exact way it came off?
Not sure what size c-clamp puller you guys used, the one I got from a local shop didn't fit around it and couldn't get it out using that. I had to find another less pleasant way.
Excellent video as usual. As luck would have it, I need to do the same on a 2011 Rogue. Can you please tell me where you got the slide hammer extension from? Possibly a link if you have one. Thank you.
As many point out, in the rust belt or the US northern mid-west and the ocean coastal regions, these Nissan shafts just DO NOT slide out of the bearing carrier for the right-side front axle. Nissan used two dissimilar metals (steel vs aluminum). Many shops don't even want to replace them here without charging ridiculously high labor fees (I see why). I just need to replace the inner boot. On the vehicle videos would actually be beneficial IMO. Getting ready to tackle replacing the boot with axle in situ. Maybe I'll do a YT video to record my successes (LOL). Was even going to try using CV forks but you need to remove the subframe to get them in place, I'll pass.
Noticed that too. The outboard CV joint is all shiny and rust-free and the clamps around the inboard CV joint are not the same as the pair installed in the video. This is actually messed up because they couldn't separate the CV axle from the jack shaft so it leaves one wondering what went wrong off-camera?
Wow this work is such a pain in the aaa.. very impressed how this guy is chill all the time as well. I would be so frustrating if I had to do this by myself. Also didn’t know it’s different from the left cv axle until now… Thanks for this amazing video!
I'm just curious why you took off the bottom bolt. I watched another video in which they took off the top two bolts, and then I didn't have to mess with the bottom bolt at all. It seemed much easier.
I'm having trouble getting the old axle out despite many methods tried. I have a brand new full axle -- I may just separate it at the tripod, and put the new tripod into the old axle without trying to get the bearing out of the housing.
Trying to find the axle boot for the drivers side inner. Is it the same as the one installed in this video? Can you please post the part number for it since I can''t find it on the 1A Auto site.
it's probably a good idea to swap it, if you are changing out something major like a CV axle, typically recommended rotation for CVT fluid is 30k miles.
+Crystal Johnson Grease coming out of a small crack or tear is the early sign of the CV joint boot failing. If the damage is larger, you might see dark grease splattered on the inside of the wheel rim and around the area inside of the drive wheel like in the photo. If the car continues to be driven with a damaged CV joint boot, the CV joint will wear out and eventually fail. The most common symptom of a badly-worn outer CV joint is a clicking or popping noise when turning. Usually the noise gets louder when accelerating in turns. In the worst cases, a badly-worn outer CV joint can even disintegrate while driving, which could create a potentially hazardous situation. Inner CV joint failures are rare. One of the symptoms of a failed inner CV joint is lateral (side-to-side) shake during acceleration. A worn-out inner CV joint may also cause clunking when shifting from Drive to Reverse. Thanks for watching.
Ok thank you Soooooo much I don't have any of that and the dealership is saying i need that replaced. My thoughts were brakes and rotors and were confirmed with a wind option so thank you so much.
What about the transmission seal. That’s a hard one, but if your already In that deep why wouldn’t you replace it. The only way I could get my arms in there was to remove the outer axel bearing bracket. Next time I’ll pay a pro.
i used a split axle booth to repair took me 15 mts( all that work is wast of time (Bailcast cvs 18 uniersal split constenant velecity gaiter) some of these vidios are out odate thiers easer ways to fix this(u got e be kidding hammer(realey

100% PERFECT JOB! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! The world wouldn't function without people like you...Thanks!

I also did it this way. Didn't want to fool with the ball joint at all.

Details pay attention to the details love the video and you dont miss any steps very well done imo
great job on the video, I really like it when people help talk through the procedure. It really helps :)

+onehit pick It is better to take the axle out so you can actually replace the parts are more comfortable level.
Hey auto fix guy , well done videos on rogue cv shaft, dicection and replacement, Im Asking why you didn't torque the axle nut or strut bolts.
When removing or reinstalling the joint onto the splines, does it have to be on a certain spline? Meaning does it have to be marked to go back on the exact way it came off?
Not sure what size c-clamp puller you guys used, the one I got from a local shop didn't fit around it and couldn't get it out using that. I had to find another less pleasant way.
Can you put any kind of grease for inner and outer boot ? Does it matter ?

Looks like a new axle in the re-assembly.

If my mechanic does the repair next week as well as you did I'll be a happy camper....until I get the bill of course.

What extension is that for the slide hammer
Thoughts on split boots?
they work put that 500 buck in your pocket( cast 26.00 dollars if u do it yourself or keep that 65 old car u have
I'm having trouble getting the old axle out despite many methods tried. I have a brand new full axle -- I may just separate it at the tripod, and put the new tripod into the old axle without trying to get the bearing out of the housing.
Don't mix old parts with new, it will wear out rapidly.
+Sajad Ali Khan Thanks for the feedback!
What is the reason you dont use brake fluid and an air gun to clean old grease? thank you..
He said not to use brake cleaner because it can wear the bearings out prematurely
What about the center bearing that went on the axel dont you need it.
Trying to find the axle boot for the drivers side inner. Is it the same as the one installed in this video? Can you please post the part number for it since I can''t find it on the 1A Auto site.
Amazon has some
a1 auto dont sell booths they sell the whole assebly under 100.00 dollar
Isn’t it cheaper to replace the entire axel?
no its not a repair kit is like 50$s max.
Thank you for the wonderful video.
excellent video
Great walk through, it was really easy to follow.
+Savin Weeraratne Thanks for checking us out!
How much was that job?
Do you replace the transmission fluid
it's probably a good idea to swap it, if you are changing out something major like a CV axle, typically recommended rotation for CVT fluid is 30k miles.
My.mechanic changed boot axle and bracket car had 73000 miles on it bill was 585 tried to get a little help from nissan they didn't care
nissan now wants 800.00 buck ful axle assembly??? buy one for under 100 dollars fulley assebly

Checked autozone.. it costs 70$ to rent that cvjoint axle remover...just thought people should know... That's a lil steep if you ask me .
How do I know if I need this replacement done on a 2013 rogue? What signs do I need to look for?

great detailed video. an excellent mechanic
how come you do not use air tools, then you use a lift. great video though
Noisy?

you have air, why don't you use an air wrench?
Thanks

Why puts new boot on a cv joint that already has dirt and lack of grease on it? Just get a new cv joint.
