How to Replace a CV Joint : How to Remove a CV Joint Nut

[poposlow]

i hate how these video makes it seems so easy as if they opened the nuts already then open again when they tape it. does nut aint that easy to take out unless youre very very lucky.

[001001sith]

woa..what an idiot..especially since he sold out to expert village.

i felt pain as i watched him use a cheater pipe on a rachet, ugh, why. im a 91m in the military (bradley fighting vehicle system maintainer) and that is one of the first things they made sure we understood in the engine bay. u can really damage a ratchet doing that! dont do it!

[mojoe10k2]

A ratchet really isn't the best tool, no. At least he didn't bust out his impact and hammer it off like the D bags I work with do... Makes me cringe.

[TK42138]

Actually why is he pulling up to release the hub nut. Always push downwards with your palm open just in case it slips otherwise you mash your fingers into the ground. Pushing is easier with body weight than pulling up where you run the real risk of hitting yourself with the breaker bar if it slips off or the 'socket lets go'.

He should have checked out my hub nut removal video first...

[TK42138]

Bloody Hell, one of the earliest things I was taught when I was learning the trade was never use a ratchet wrench with an extension bar (cheater pipe) ! Easiest way to trash a good tool. Plus cheap and nasty ratchet mechanisms tend to shatter when over-loaded - bit like cheap sockets. Apart from this little oversight the video is okay.

@:08 "A broken CV joint, also known as a drive shaft"

The CV joint is PART of the drive shaft, but is not the drive shaft.

I also think he just put that nut on. Most CV axles have slot on the threaded

end of the spline to bend the edge of the CV into in order to keep it from

coming off. It wouldn't have come off that easy without pounding that out.

It is possible to turn the nut and shear it off, but it takes excessive amounts

of force that would more than likely break his ratchet.

nice. I was teying to get that cv bolt off in the air for about 2 hours I was useing a bar to try and hold it still .thanks. I've been following your cv videos . cool

[yumyumsashimi]

Dam easy on the wheels with those tools! I hate when the idiots at the shop bang up my wheels.

Never use a ratchet you will either break yourself or brake your ratchet. If ratchet ever flew off your in great danger. Use a breaker bar instead there not dear to buy.

"I'm not kidding, folks..." lol.

[ahsanx7]

Thanx rplhouse for your reply. Thank u very much :)

[ahsanx7]

by the way, the sound comes from the front right side

[ahsanx7]

Hi guyz

I own a Nissan Almera Equation V-reg (UK). Just wanted to ask if someone could help. Whenever i turn left, i think its the CV joint from which clicking sound comes.. is that really serious or can i drive few days before getting it repaired?

[rplhouse]

u need to replace asap cause if it breaks while driving, the wheel will turn either out or in with no controll and u will be sitting on the pavement with alot of damage

[JipsyTV09]

that retaining nut was blatenly loosened first he dint use no leverage n put no effort in to moving that nut

[Begbucks]

Those ratchet pauls arent made to take the torque & may fail!, you really should opt for a quality breaker bar instead.

[hustkisas]

can you just number every video in this series? I would be much easier to go through the whole series in the order, thanks

[farkovkervich]

thanks for the video. it's obvious now, but all saturday i was trying to remove the drive shaft nut after i'd already removed the wheel! man i'm stupid

[Croz686]

this guy hates his ratchet

[MovingUpp]

@Croz686 lifetime warrantees FTW!

[Croz686]

just use a braker bar

[RobertGary1]

Just use an impact wrench.

[greatwelder]

if you use your wrench on the other side so your pushing down in stead of lifting up it's easier.

[ramey51]

This is the proper service procedure for removing your AXLE NUT!

[progressiveecho]

no shit man, expert village fucking sucks

[POISONSUMAC99]

it is just a tip to do it yourself and you may  don't have the right tools

[dwightschruteatrm]

breaker bar is correct

[Hawk7886]

Don't use a cheater pipe on a ratcheting head. It's extremely hard on it and it's not a nice thing to do.

Use a large breaker bar, grabbing a cheater pipe only if you really need to.

[Kchur]

Amen to that.

[jass355]

@Hawk7886 i agree the ratchet can break its best to use a breaker bar. These videos are useless and give out wrong information to people.

@Hawk7886 busted a 3/4 drive on my brothers blazer...that baby was tight!!
