In this video I show you how I replaced the CV Axles on a 2007 GMC Sierra (Chevy Silverado). It's a fairly easy process, even with simple mechanics tools.

Awesome! Good video, Summary at the end about the simplicity of the job helps others feel confident enough to tackle it! You are correct, the strut removal probably scares enough away from doing this.🤙

Glad I watched this video. Thought I had to drop the lower ball joint to get it out. Thanks man 👍👍

@Alfaspiderman84 9 ай бұрын

I know it been a year since you made this, but I just found out today that if you remove the sway bar links on both sides you have enough room to remove the axle shafts without reomoving the struts. But great video ! Thanks.

I see there is a little oil leak around were you bolted the cv axel, i have the same oil leak on my 08 sierra, did this stop the leak ? loved the way you explained in this video, doesn't seem to difficult, will be doing this myself after watching this, thanks 😉

@StrangeDrk Жыл бұрын

Very informative, how much did you save doing the job yourself would you say? I'm looking at doing the job myself to save some money I have a few tools to buy to get it completed but it looks fairly simple.

Can you just remove the sway bar end link and get enough clearance that way? If you remove the side bolted to the diff and lower it-I think you can get it out without messing up any alignment

That’s exactly what I was thinking

@joshuaputman8307 Жыл бұрын

I've got to do this on my truck this weekend. I wonder if it would be enough wiggle room just cranking the wheel over all the way instead of messing with the strut. Only one way to find out I guess. Thanks for the video. This doesn't look nearly as complicated as I imagined.

@Wombuffet Жыл бұрын

In the same boat as you, let me know if you didnt need to remove the strut!

@joshuaputman8307 Жыл бұрын

@@Wombuffet you definitely do. It "should" have enough wiggle room to drop the strut out, but on my truck, it had a small leveling spacer on top, so it was under tension. I had to pop out the outer tie rod end, and the upper ball joint to get it out.

@stevengaff7884 11 ай бұрын

Yes just use a swivel it in your socket and you can wiggle it and get it out

@madman9833 Жыл бұрын

I’ve seen people put locktite blue on those three bolts that hold the strut down. Is that good to do?????????

@user-hj4kq2yr1i 5 ай бұрын

Aren’t you suppose to replace both sides of that cv joint axel install. ??? Keep the balance or if one’s out then the other is bound to fail as well soon??? Idk I’m asking

@nowayhunting 7 ай бұрын

are the axles the same on both sides? same part number?

Do I have to take the strut out or is it basically just convenient to have it off to remove the cv axle ?

@TheDaninator 2 жыл бұрын

It's best to remove the strut, otherwise it's nearly impossible to remove the axel.
