The fact you were willing to go under a car held up by only a jack and a rock on a dirt road makes this video deserve a million likes. You my friend are a daredevil and I respect it.

I have been wrestling with half of the trans axle being stuck in the transmission for near on a a full day now, tried clamps / pullers / j bars etc etc.... this video was my last hope, and the good old Hammer & over sized flat head masonry ? drill bit from behind has finally done the job!!!!! after hours of tapping away and finding the optimum angle Peter Fin....... thanks a million man. all the way from Melbourne, Australia... where we would consider your fine self a "....Bloody Legend ! " 10/10 , excellent !!!

Not everyone has all the stuff to do work on their cars, I have used stuff that I had no choice to use and got the job done and saved $100 if not $1000's of dollars by avoiding a trip to the shop. The main things are safety and not breaking other stuff while fixing your car. He did both and got the car fixed. I think him taking the time to explain the procedure deserves respect. Thanks for making the video. 😎👍

Thank you for making a video showing how average people work on cars without proper equipment!

I have searched all of you tube and not one video showed me to take out the axle until I came across ur video and bam!!! very well demonstrated and I will subscribe thank u so much for this video

Good job, Peter! Thank you for taking the time to show every little detail on doing this. Thanks for all the great work...God bless you!

Peter Finn, thank you for helping me keep my 2004 Toyota on the road. You're a mighty man.

This remained me working on cars back in Mexico Every little job was a big challenge, basically doing a job without tools Well done Sr, good video

Great video mate, I love the Borat accent to, great work for helping the world !!! 10/10

that's some nice improvise skills you have Love to see ppl doing stuff without professional tools

You did a pretty good job for working outside without any professional lifting equipment! 👌

The best video on the subject... my drive shaft popped out by the second stroke of hammer against the chisel. Thank you very much for sharing.

Is easier open the axle head lock nut when wheel is on. Then no need brake pedal pressing systems...

Man I love how detailed these videos are.

You make the best repair videos as you show all the difficult parts. Hats off to you sir. Thank you.

THANK YOU!!!!!! i have my air tools and stuff, but never changed one of these.Your video helped me alot. I kept thinking " if this guy can do it on the side of the road with hand tools and lumber, i have no excuse why i cant do it with alll the right tools. Again, thank you. ***** and thanks to the commenters for the heads up on breaking the 30mm bolt first. i would have made the same mistake. i know its a simple thing, but when you are trying for the first time, you get the blinders on thinking of the other stuff.

Excellent video. I am going to replace one on a 1991 Corolla, and will try to do the seal in the transmission at the same time. Your detailed video will help.

hey man that was an awesome video. your patience is outstanding. your step by step explanation from start to finish was excellent. you should me how what to expect on my toyota corolla project. from the perspective that i just watched, i wish we were best friends and you can help me with my toyota corolla. good luck to you. wish you the very best. this world needs more good people like you that help others. thank you very much. MACY

Great video and thanks for showing us simple tips 🙏

Its not pretty, but its exactly how I have to work on my 98 Corolla. I even use the log to jack stand my car lol. I like the fact that you show that its not necessary to pull the brake assembly apart.

Thank you for your video, how to CHANGE A DRIVE AXLE, it was VERY GOOD, STEP by STEP, you made it look really easy, now I know how to change my drive axle, thanks.

I also would like to thank you for your gratefull videos. It is really helpfull for me!

Is there a video for refilling gearbox oil lost ? Great video this thanks

Nice video , I have a different car, and been thinking to do it myself but maybe I'll let the mechanic do this for me, nice of you to respond to every comment here

The best video ever thanks

Hello, thanks for your vídeo. I suggest to put a big screwdriver through the caliper to hold the disco. That has worked fine for me, and son need to

good work! the best part is that if I do it your way I dont need to go for Car Alignment.

Nice video. This job can be a pain in the ass. I've done this job before but forgot the trick I used yo get the out. I couldn't get a pry bar or screwdriver between the axle and the drive axle because the sub frame didn't give me enough clearance. I used a chisel eith a hammer on the drive axle and it came right out.

brother you are the man. thank you very much. this video was very helpful. i would have thought it was 20x's harder to change this cv axle out. un fortunitly the 2007 im working on is slightly different because of the pressed on bearing assembly but the just of the video is perfect. to the poiunt and very detailed. thank oyu for takeing the time to explain very thing out as clearly as possible as well. as i m an american you commuicated very well to us how truly easy it is to do this task with minial bull crap unlike other videos ive watched. i my friend thank you very much for helping my and my friend save alot of time and struggles and money doing it ourselves.. A+ al the way...

I NEED TO CUT DOWN MY TREE TO HOLD MY CAR. OK VID

thankyou very much for your video not so hard after all, cheers been a real help!

thank you Peter on changed Axel by myself you are a good person

Put a scredriver in the ventilated rotor. The wooden log on the pedal is far harder to achieve

Hey, Peter Great video! I plan to replace mine in couple of weeks by your video instructions. I have just one question:do we need to lift both front sides of the car, or just the side where we are replacing the axle?

I've got the repair manual for the Corolla, and alternative to the wood block for the breaks and having it in gear you can put a pry bar in-between 2 of the threads for the lugnuts and lock that against the floor, although I would imagine that would be easier on the 5 lug cars like my 04 Corolla.

Thanks for this great video, I'm planning to change mine tomorrow. I like the way you explain every step of the way. God bless you.

Thank you very mutch . I have to change it on my toyota corolla (modell 92-97) 97 touring . It helps me a lot i guess . Great video .

You make awesome videos! Really enjoyed this as I prepare to do the same on my mom's car!! You should be a teacher!!

Would doing it this way require a front end alignment when finished?

you do a good job explaining, but i’d invest in some real jack stands if i were you.

My respects for this video, really tough scenario to work! Thank you for sharing

Great videos and really good at replying to people.

Did you refill any transmission oil? I have to do this repair myself and wonder do I need to fill more

Thanks for the nice tips. BTW I cannot separate my Honda outer Driveshaft , I've hammer many times and it Jammed. I've use my "95MM Car CV Joint Drive Shaft Assembly Installaiton Removal puller Tool " and pipe trick still cannot separate it. Let me know you tips. Thanks again

Rocks and Tree Trunk ! How about mentioning that it would be great if one also had a Jack Stand and maybe a New Auto Parts Store bought Axle because the one you are installing is clearly a junkyard Axle.

Great film, I've learned a lot.

Show Peter, você tem os melhores conteúdos sobre o Corolla... parabéns!

You don't have to mess around putting wood blocks on your brakes and all that to keep the wheel from spinning. Just put a bar in between the lug studs and touching the ground to keep it from spinning. Or put the wheel back on and lower the car down just until you break the axle nut loose.

Mitä öljyä kannattaisi tuonne laittaa jos samalla öljyt vaihtaa? Which oil should i use?

you could place a long pry bar between the wheel studs and the ground to stop the hub from turning.

The easiest way to loosen the axle nut is to insert a flat screw driver on the outer edge of the rotor. You have enough room to insert one and put it against the brake caliper bracket, it will not turn!

Hi Peter i have one question my 2003 toyota Corolla is it the same socket to open the axel nut a 30 mm are i need a bigger one thx for the info continue the good work my friend

Can you tell me newton for three screws at the beginning? The main screw of axle is 200+ you said? I will do 210, is that enough?

Thank you very much for this video! . .. followed step by step with you and I changed out the axle. ... . Will this same basic process work on the passenger side as well?

Do we need to refill the gear box oil after the replacement? I had my axle replace and there was a white liquid grease that was dripping. I ask the mechanic if that grease needed to be refill he said that was not necessary. Just wanted to confirm.

The god bless him who has a good soul.

Hi Peter I am going to do this on my 1994 Toyota Celica tomorrow so when I remove the axle the fluid that will leak out is transmission fluid since it is an automatic? So I just refill by adding Dextron III like I would when topping of transmission fluid?

I changed Axel by myself thank you

Just wondering....You cant adjust camber and caster stetting in this car, can you?

Hi Peter, Thanks for this video.. One trick: to block the axle you could use a strong screw driver placed in between one of the slots of the brake disc and lock it against the brake block. What do you think? Terveisia from Lpr, EK

Thank you sir for your excellent video

thank you very much, very useful explanation

I just did this on a 97 Toyota Tercel, but now the driver side wheel is locked up solid. wont move. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

is it the same process with the toyota ipsum 2000 and what are the estimated costs of the new and second hand drive shaft

thanks for video

Lol😂the the 4x2 on yhe brake pedal is epic. Try this on your next Mercedes-Benz 🙏🔫

good work Peter ...

Thank you Mr meerkat

Why don't you loosen that spindle nut while it is on the ground with the tire on, then jack it up.

Rust makes everything take twice as long to fix and last half as long as it should.

10vuotta vanha video, mutta olis kyssäri mestarille aiheeseen liittyen. Itellä on vm.99 manuaali e11 1.6 4afe:lla. Onko tietoa noiden vetoakselien yhteen sopivuuksista 1.6-1.3, automaatti-manuaali, vvtkone facelift-prefacelifti? Ite pitäs akseli vaihtaa, mutta motonetti myy pelkkää vetoniveltä joten pitää hakea purkuautosta osa tai tilata ulkomailta eikä 100% tietoa mikä sopii.

I hope that those rusty screws on my car will be as easy to be unscrewed as on your car! 🙏

Fuck yeah peter Finn love your videos brother ur making life look easier

Could you please put your links to your "opposing" side axle replace videos at the top of the screen? Where they are at the bottom, when I go to click them the control bar for the video pops up and won't allow me to click the link! Thanks. :)

We we we we we push dee welcome my friend to America

loosen axle nut wen on ground dude

Informative and Entertaining! DOBRA!

What size bolt is the big one you took off before the clip n cover ?

How will i know if its time to change my CV axle? Thanx for the video..

You forget to show how to replace the trans fluid, fix axel only to destroy trans 😩

Great Man

i am trying to insert my new drive shaft into the gearbox, it has gone in and stoped not all the way. i have tried a hammer, to tap it in, any advice? its a toyota yaris. thanks

so how do u know how tight is tight Enuff if one DOES NOT have a TORQUE WRENCH to tighten up the Bolt aftr getting DRIVE Axle put bk 2gether ????

What is the torque spec for the ball joint ? In a corolla 2001 ?

oh for gods sake man..... stick a screwdriver into the brake caliper to keep it from turning,should have broken nut loose before raising car off ground.

My car makes a noise when accelarating not turning i think its the drive axle or the bearing it gets louder the faster u go what can it be . Toyota Celica 96 gt com.

Hello! I'd like to ask about gearbox oil that flows out. When i pull the shaft out and the oil starts to flow to a vessel, can i return the same oil to the gearbox afterwards or do i have to add some new oil or is it fine if i dont add anything and it stays at it is?

will it work the same if the transmission is automatic?

Very helpful, thanks man..

Thanks Peter!

Do you need to put transmission fluid after?

9 minutes in and we have our 1st bolt off. lol

The other side is not the same.. Have you done the other side?

great video thanks

are you sure it 30mm this bolt or 29MM bolt ?

Amazing video pete

Hello! How you tup the transmission oil back?

how i going to refill the oil?

I WII PUT ANYTHING BETWEEN THE ROTOR TO STOP THE ROTOR

All the explaining in pauses make the videos annoying af. Makes no sense
