Everyone in the comments complain bout not using a torque wrench this the good Ole way of doin things torque specs were very helpful in the description

@AutoFixYT 4 ай бұрын

If you know your tool you can get things really close to the torque spec, especially if you are also familiar with the car you're working on.

I just watched a video and you're taking more steps to take out your CV shaft. The other channel didn't bother with the brake lines.

@AutoFixYT Ай бұрын

I did it so I wouldn't accidentally overstretch it. You do you, I'd you don't want to remove it then definitely do it your way. I take shortcuts sometimes that work well as long as I'm careful. Sometimes the risk is worth it ;)

@halopcdraco Ай бұрын

@@AutoFixYT If you removed the lower ball join nut and a linkage nut, the brake lines wouldn't stretch. I have a bad vibration when I accelerate so I'm not looking forward on replacing my driver side cv shaft.

Is there any danger of the old axle getting stuck in the transmission? I seem to remember hearing there was some kind of locking ring that could get a little bit out of alignment, and if that happened it made it 100x harder to get out. But I don't know if that applies here. I have an Odyssey that will need a new axle sometime soon.

@AutoFixYT Жыл бұрын

Yeah it can definitely happen. In that case you'll have to just spin it and wiggle it and pry it until it pops out.

Does it have to be torque to the exact number or can I just do everything with a wrench ?

@AutoFixYT 8 күн бұрын

Ideally you should be torquing everything. But... you do you. I don't always. Just know your tool and know your nuts and bolts.

@AutoFixYT 10 ай бұрын

I did not, but the torque is high enough to be able to get it close with an air gun, if you know your tool.

Hey nice and clear video. I was just wondering where and what brand you got the part from, and if you felt it was a nice part. Kind of hard to choose between all the random brands that likely manufacture them in China lmao

@AutoFixYT 11 ай бұрын

I don't remember where i got it from but yeah when it comes to CV Axles most brands are fine and most brands are made in China or other Asian countries. So pick something that is a decent price but also Google some reviews and you'll find an answer for sure.

You listed torque specs, but you're too lazy to use a torque wrench and instead use a 800-ft-lb impact wrench.

@AutoFixYT Жыл бұрын

Lol that gun is far from 1000 ft lbs. It's not a cer powerful gun which is why I used it. The other reason is that after years of using several and even one specific gun, you learn it's power by feel. That is the case for me. I can get things pretty close to proper torque with it. Every mechanic will do the same thing, it's all about experience.

@gregsmith332 Жыл бұрын

@@AutoFixYT You wouldn't bolt down a cylinder head with a impact wrench or air ratchet? That Earthquake impact wrenches rated at 800 ft lb. So it will put out 800 ft lb, no matter how you try to spin it. Impact wrenches, unlike torque wrenches, are not precision instruments. Using an impact wrench to ram home nuts and bolts is a sign of a laziness. "Every mechanic will do the same thing, it's all about experience" If that's the case, I rather do it myself. I don't believe this "you'll get a feel for it" nonsense.

@AutoFixYT Жыл бұрын

@@gregsmith332 It may be rated at 800 ft lbs, but it won't get to 800 ft lbs unless you hold it on the fastener with the trigger pulled. Just like your car won't go 120 mph unless you hold the gas pedal down, even if it can easily get there. And no I wouldn't torque a head with it but I have run down the head bolts with one before. But there is a difference between a head bolt which is a torque to yield bolt meant to be tightened to a certain degree (not ft lbs) and a suspension bolt made of a high grade steel which does not have an angle torque. Havjng said that, once you get to know the tool you're holding, you can easily estimate. Might not be spot on, but it will be close, most likely on the tighter end, not the looser end.

You have no reason to be rude. You said "I'd rather just do it myself". Then do it yourself and stop whining like a man baby over a video you are too lazy to make yourself - hence why you're watching someone else do it themselves.

@@AutoFixYT You're wrong, this is a car abuse, and i know mechanics at dealership don't care about torque specs either. You're talking nonsense with your "I can easily estimate", what you have in your hand is a impact gun there is NO control on your part, only illusory, each impact is determined by compressed air not your holding the release a certain time. Unfortunately the auto service industry does not give a f, in the contrary car damaged at dealerships mean more money down the road and new car buys. I've experienced oil pan plug screw being overtorqued by dealer and ruined threadings requiring me to extract it, fortunately it's made of more ductile metal so it probably didn't damage the oil pan and have not have any leaks since. But the same thing is happening on all bolts around the car, in the trunk, direction, everything, mothfg mechanics like you don't give a f and damage everything.
