Wow thats the first time I seen anyone take off the brakes to change the axle 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Great Video! I really needed this information so I don't have to figure it out as I go tomorrow. I'm guessing it will be very much like the 2014 CRV I will be doing. The details and clear views have given me an excellent preview of what is to come. Thank You!

Great video, what I always do, is I apply a lite coat of all-purpose grease to where friction or fittings are, to keep it from seizing for unforeseen future repairs, also to my lug nuts esle well thanks for sharing.

@troywiltshire5272 3 күн бұрын

I don’t know if you noticed, but the original OEM axel that you took out had a counter balance around the shaft and the aftermarket shaft you installed didn’t have one. I mention this because I have learned on a 2014 C-RV that it will most likely never balance out and ride smooth if you don’t use an OEM balanced axel’s.

Dude, thank you very much for this video. I didn’t hammer my axle back into place so I have a bad vibration and I think that’s the reason.

If you just take off top stabilizer bar you don't have to take ball joint or any of that off...the hub turns enough where you can pull axle out

@albertchin-a-young2132 2 ай бұрын

You don't need to separate the knuckle from the upper ball joint? In this video, looks like he only disconnects the lower ball joint. In other videos, both the upper ball joint and outer tie rod ball joint are separated. According to the manual, they indicate separating the lower ball joint and stabilizer link.

In the future use safety glasses when striking one hammer with another one, they are hardened and will fracture into sharp bits.

So my 2014 Civic Si passenger side axle popped out so it was pushed back in but after driving I noticed afterwards it was loose so once I looked at the drive shaft I noticed the set ring looks like it was missing which I don't understand because the axle seemed locked firmly into place prior to it being pulled out accidentally. So my question is: Do I need to replace the ring? Or would I have to replace the entire driveshaft?

What is a keet spline?

@CEASUSA 11 ай бұрын

Splines and keys are machinery components placed at the interface between shafts and hubs of power-transmitting elements. A spline (or key) is usually machined (or attached) onto the shaft of a power-transmitting pair, and the corresponding groove is cut into the hub.

His “preferred insurance” said it will not cover the replacement. What to do?
