How to change a CV on a Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50

Today we change a CV
I have been asked many times to make a video on how to change a cv so here it is!!!
Knowing how to change a CV is very valuable. Breaking a CV isn't a case of IF you will break a cv but WHEN you break a cv, and if you know how to fix it yourself out on the tracks will mean you won't have to cancel your weekend away with the lads.
Watch this video and it will really help you, I have changed my cv a couple of times and the first time took me around a hour to do with a few helpful calls to my mates Steve and Corey.
If I can change a cv you will definitely be able to do it!!
Tools you will need to keep in your car:
Biggest shifter you can find
36mm socket
selection of screwdrivers
rattle gun
jack
a decent socket set
tie down strap
I hope this video will be helpful to all you legends out there!!!
Let me know if this was a helpful video and if theres any other videos I can do for you to make it easier for you to fix or modify you Ranger or BT50

Very informative and helpful. Only dramas I had was my nut was a 35mm, not 36 as mentioned. My UCA seems to be spring tensioned or something. As soon as I had that nut off the UCA shot back up nearly taking an eye out... I also had the sway bar still in which made it things a little harder

@cliffordleach1273 4 ай бұрын

I know this is old and I just came across this video as I was searching a couple days ago for a quick run down as I broke the right front cv on the trails. Anyways yea that but is 35mm not 36 and I noticed when he was showing it the 36mm he had was fitting fairly loose. It worked for him nonetheless.

Good vid thanks Az, is there a trick you've found to not have the axle come out with the CV?

@AzventuresAustralia 6 жыл бұрын

Simon Murray thanks mate!!! With the drivers side it’s more of a gamble. Ecuador it’s a female end on the cv, and there’s a little clip that olds the axel to the cv, it’s no big deal if it comes out, you just need to makes sure you keep it off the ground and clean as, you can easily get the axle out once it’s clean and dry and with a couple taps on the cv should pop out

Its not so much the CV that stuffs up but the boot rips or the boot band comes of letting the grease out and letting sand or dirt into the CV Thus wrecking it.

Good video mate. My left side made a clunk noise after coming back from Fraser Is, just got off the sand and turned left hand down to side of road into police RBT and when clunk. So going to have a crack tomorrow and replace with a cozza branded cv. Hope she holds up, right side was replaced under warranty with what I believe is a Supercheap brand after googling the part number.
