My driver side CV (constant velocity) axle broke when I was on the road, so I fixed it in a parking lot with just a few tools I had with me.
Tools Needed:
- 19mm Tire Iron
- Car Jack
- 1.25" Socket - 1/2" drive
- 1/2" Drive Breaker Bar or Socket Wrench
- 3/8" Socket Wrench
- 17mm Socket
- Flathead screwdriver
- Leverage tool (piece of metal pipe I found on the ground)
- Short length of wire or tie line
Total job time: 1hr (with right tools and not rusted or seized bolts)
