​@@RBTheMechaniccan I use moly lithium grease ?.

@@JoseGonzalez-ed4hq tiny amount

@@RBTheMechanic like the vid ?. Or less ? I'll just wait n get different grease if I have to .

Nice job!!

Nice good u found my video!!!

😊😊

I didn't think that would be possible.

Hell yeah I was amazed the first time I tried this my friend showed me this trick he is 27 year experienced mechanic

Thanks

on ALL retainer clip style, open at 12:00, you never want the ends of the wire outside of the groove.

Yup lol

Yup glad this worked !!!

Nice good job

Good idea it will try to drop but bang by then it’s in. Niceee thinking

@@RBTheMechanic well in our particular one I noticed that there was a flat Edge where the two ends of the Ring meet I thought that's perfect and it went right in

Nice good job!!

Thank u for blessing

Hell yeah bro!!! Glad u found the video I learned this my self the hard way!!! I try it once normally if it don’t work I try this!! It works everytime!!!

Welcome

Welcome!!!

Yupppp great trick

Synthetic grease fine?

Yup check how many people got helped with 2 mins

​@@RBTheMechanic I got helped

@@JK-hd2zb great!!!

Yup the opening should be down

Vaseline works just fine,test it with trans oil dissolves well good to go.

Toyota factory service manual agrees.

A video I saw stated the open ends should be at the top (12 o'clock) so they don't hang down at the bottom and catch.

What kinda car u have. Usully u don’t need 4 lb hammed I use the axle force to push it it in I usully can feel it snap in

@@RBTheMechanic Thank you for the attention to my question. The car is 2001 Saturn SL2. There was a clicking sound on sharp Left turns, so as far as I know it can be Right CV Axle, so I decided to replace both, the car has ~130mi so it is time to replace anyway. On the Right (Passenger side) I installed Cardone 66-1274 New CV Axle, which I bought on Amazon. I put some grease on the splines (same which I added into the Intermediate Shaft housing, Green Grease 101 Synthetic Waterproof High Temperature Grease, 14 Oz. Tube). 1st I started w/orange plastic hammer, CV Axle just barely sited on the shaft.Then took 3 lbs hammer (nut was on the end of the CV Axle of course), it went more, but not enough. During all that I compressed the CV Axle as advised and made it as straight as possible. Then I switched to 4 lbs, it sited completely, doesn't move anymore, but I have doubts, since don't know how to check all that, if it is 100%. In some films they were talking about clicking sound, but how you can here it if you are hammering. Also someone said it would be a change on hammering sound, when sited, but I forgot about it during the installation and didn't listen how it sounded originally. I tried to pull w/ hand, obviously it doesn't comes off. If I knock w/wood, like during removal, it will comes off. I think maybe to knock slightly, but how slightly? All that is very confusing. I'll be doing more research today, but if you can tell smth. I would really appreciate. I also hope that when I go to Dealer for alignment and tell them my concerns, they might be able to determine, if it sits completely or not. Do you happen know what would be the signs on driving if it is not inserted well? Maybe I can check like that. Thank you again. Update: thinking about How to know that CV Axle is fully inserted on the passenger side, it came to my attention, that the color on the Inner end of CV Axle is different. It has a dark strip by the that big base cylinder. That dark strip, should it be fully seen, or part goes inside of the seal? I think it should be fully seen, otherwise why it would be there. From under the car I can't see the border between colors, just that dark strip. But I'm still in doubts.

Yup

Good tip!!!

@@RBTheMechanic.....yeah, I struggled until I found that out. Seems if the "opening" is in the wrong place, the clip "sticks-out" more beyond the shaft splines...and it's almost impossible to push-in until you rotate the unit several times during your "Attempts"...... better to get this right up front !!. Cheers.

This works

@@RBTheMechanic yeh got it with a lil dead blow persuasion. Both axles in at 4am when I saw this video. Dropping it on the ground today and driving

It will pop out I have seen it or it will damage the inside

Yeah try that works!

@@RBTheMechanic what transmission grease did you use

@@Jame6999 they sell transmission grease at Autozone u can simply ask them it dissolves once it mixes with fluid also I have use tiny bit of regular grease in past works fine

@@RBTheMechanic thanks. I was going to use vaseline says it also dissolve once heated

@@Jame6999 lol or just pick up the transmission grease

Dosent matter once it’s in it will move all over anyways to insert it I would try to face it down

Open end of ring should be at 12 o’clock

Sorry I dont

Try this trick and use rubber mallet

I know the feeling. My passenger side is tough. Im going to try grease tomorrow & hope it works.

Regular should work very tiny amount or pick up transmission grease

Thank you

They sell transmission grease lube which dissolves

Yes lol it’s just no one knows this helps

U can stop the work and pick some up

If u felt it snap in ur good it might move tiny tiny bit

U should feel it pop in

@@RBTheMechanic ok once I feel it pop in I don't need to tug on it or anything?

Ok part of transmission

Great!!

I’m not sure how far u stretched it out but usully it’s sticking out a bit if it hangs your not suppose to take it out try ur best look at the old axle all u could do is squeeze it

Yup

Put anything and keep it a 🤫 tiny amount will not do any harm 😜

Put any grease tiny amount and keep it a secret 🤫 will not harm anything 😉

Not listed there which axle u buy?

Yes any will work but safer to use somthing that will dissolve inside like it suppose to when using transmission grease but I’m definitely gonna keep it real I have used marine grease the red ones tiny tiny tiny bit 🤫

Will do next time

@@RBTheMechanic You could always do an update video and link it to this one... a lot of people would find that very helpful.

I had lot of axles that just didn’t want to come out but try using 2 pry bars to each side so the force is equal on both sides and it comes out straight also try Turing the axle to diff diff spots that was the ring moves sound and don’t forget be careful not to crack the transmission with too much force with pry bars

@@RBTheMechanic thanks for the response..yes after i watched yours caught another video where i guy take a small chisel and essential does what you saying..taps then spins..taps again..mine dont have the room i dont thing for a fork style i dont believe.. Makes sense though if your putting grease into holding it up then one would believe that you just have to get it in a sweat spot to make it fall.. What a stupid design..they could have used the torx bolts all the way around....NOOO!!! They want people to bring repairs to the shop..makes business sense thought! Haha Ok thanks for the response..

@@urighht yeah if u turn it and keep try eventully it will at one time u will get lucky the ring will sit even

U can use tiny bit of red marine grease or go get somthing that’s for transmission that dissolves with fluid

No it’s diffrent u can just go to Autozone or pepboys they will let u know how much and what type u need

I had no issue this vehicle is still running it nonissue

Nope

Leslie Tolman it’s transmission grease ... u can use regular grease shouldn’t do no harm

@@RBTheMechanic thank you. I've tried this, tried a second brand new CV axle and no matter what, I cannot get this damn thing to go all the way in. Its the passenger side on an 08 scion tc, which does NOT have a little retainer clip. I don't know what the problem is!!!

Leslie Tolman try diff brand I use ac delco. It’s pretty good axles measure the side of the old one and new one check the length size also

Dan L well I came across the problem you can’t push the seal all the way in it has happnes to me before you have to push it to make it flush to the housing and it will stay there it will not fall inside because axle will not let it drop in but redu it to make it flush and just out it on proposer spit ... after that all I can say is u set it and forget it just look for leaks for few days after that once no leaks it should stay good!!!

never happen

Well that’s what we mean

You’ve clearly never worked on a fucking GM

Abd Hamduni I don’t think ur axle was in once it’s snapped in it cannot come out check to see if u have correct size axle

@@RBTheMechanic are those clips not supposed to be reused again. I know they all say that, but eve3wryone seems to do it anyway?

John Doe the clip front of axle comes with new axle

Danny Garcia you can try tapping it but I think best bet will be to take thing apart and push it in

Lol Noo

Farid Halim they sell purple transgress it dissolves with trans fluid pretty good stuff u can buy it from Autozone or pep boys

@@RBTheMechanic i tried to look at autozone, they have several grease. Would regular grease works for this purpose or it is dangerous to use?

Farid Halim I have used regular grease put very tiny amount never had any problem

@@RBTheMechanic thanks for the tips. I will try that. I only have the light grease that I bought from walmart. That's should be fine as well, right?

Farid Halim yup

It can be wrong axle or it didn’t get locked in with retainer I had issue once’s it was short axle soon as I took the car for drive it popped out in 10 ft

😋

Use regular tiny bit shouldn’t be issue

Not on the side where I show that goes inside transmission

Very tiny amount

Try again dosent hve to be one attempt

Ok read other comments!!

Yes there is it resolves with mixture of fluid anyways u can prolly get a tiny bit u need from any transmission repair shops

Watch this guys videos he use it lot maybe not in this video but I seen him use it that’s where I got the idea form of grease kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdtglphh3727mac.html

@@RBTheMechanic I believe you that it exists, but maybe under a different name / description? "Transmission grease" I'm guessing is its colloquial name used around the shop.

@@RBTheMechanic Btw, I used your method with simple STP red tacky grease, it worked for me and, volume-wise, isn't so much that I was worried about it dissolving.

@@apollo11capcom39 nice cool!!! No one got to know there’s no harm I did it on my car!!! Been running for years

Ok 👍 sorry some time I talk too fast

He obviously has a hispanic accent. Some parts of english words just don't get said especially if Spanish origin language is a large part of their day or first language. Take it from someone that has spent alot of time in Mexico and the boarder. It just happens so don't be too hard on someone about perfect annunciation.

Who cares

@@RBTheMechanicUpon reviewing my comment it seems like it might have come off as a little offensive. I didn't mean it in that way. My apologies.

@@dzim8822 no worries I talk fast.. 👍 it’s cool I do reply back to everything even if it’s a mistake I made when some one corrects it that helps to improve!!

Glad the video helped!! This works well!!!
