Surprised how easy the axle nut was to remove or perhaps you are very strong. If its hard try this, position the breaker bar at 3 o'clock, place the floor jack underneath and jack it up using the weight of the car to break the nut free.

Pickle fork might ruin the tie rod end boot. Try a tie rod end puller to avoid this. Great video though.

He made that lower control arm ball joint removal look easy. Mine was not nearly that easy. Are you suppose to push down on the control arm with your hand, and push up with the pickle fork at the same time?

Bruce didn't mention it but did you notice that one of the lug studs was broken and another appeared to be cross threaded? Both were rusty since no lug nut was used on them.

Very nicely done, good quality video. Thanks!

My car is a front wheel drive, the cv axle from the front driver's side came out when I hit a pothole. Now the car will not move at all or the other front right tire will not move at all either when I press on the gas. I can hear the engine running and I can see the MPH go up just like when you press on the gas when you have the car on park. The guys at autozone said that everything will work fine once the other cv axle in in place. So I'm just wondering if that is true?

@HakerzTM I'm sure it's been fixed by now but if the axle comes out one side, no torque will go to the other axle. It's just like when one wheel spins in the snow or mud and the other wheel sits there with no movement or traction. That's just how non-limited slip differentials work.

Who has a name like bonebreak????

@waterwart A viking.

[waterwart]

@briansmobile1 Ya but...I doubt it would be in english. I thought it was a spoof the first time I saw it. Like a stage name or something.

[briansmobile1]

@waterwart Many immigrants took a literal translation of their surname name when immigrating during the 1800's. Others who came through Ellis island has their names slaughtered/Americanized by the clerk as they came through. (Were rushed through) One of the family names in my genealogy went from Wagner (with a thick German accent Vacknher) to Buckner. Just as an example.

@briansmobile1 ya well....that axle & strut job kicked my ass today. Started too late in the day. Didn't finish it.

@waterwart Bummer man.
