CV Axle Assembly Install Jeep ZJ Pt.3

[utuberine]

Yeah, come on guy. If you are gonna post stuff to help people, at least keep safety first. Us a floor jack AND a back up. I was cringing every time I saw your legs under that thing with that little girls car jack holding it up. Do you know how much that front end weighs and what would happen to your leg should it collapse on you. Oh man. Prevention is paramount. And as others mentioned, a torque wrench should be used. 175 lbs is difficult to guess without one.

Saving me money. Thanks

Thanks now i know what todo even if my jeep is a wj its seam identical

He says "I hung the brake caliper with some zip ties to not damage the hose", then he cuts the zip ties and lets it hang by the hose! Classic.

[erd1972]

This guy knows just enough to be dangerous. A framing hammer, seriously? And all parts to be reused should be cleaned before reassembly. Also, the center nut is supposed to be torqued to 175 ft-lbs. And, like many people have mentioned, the bottle jack is just asking for trouble.

Hey so my zj is making a metallic clunking noise coming from the front driver side wheel. It happens at 25 or above. Could it be my axle lose in there? Any help from anyone would be nice.  Thanks

[wackowelder]

thanks.....i'm doing mine tomorrow....Great Video

No torque on the center nut?... A couragous guy to work with just a small bottle jack.

[ryuhyubusa]

[ttomas2424]

Man!!!!!!!! Just a lone Bottle jack and lets the the brake caliper HANG... True driveway monkey wrencher..

[kdonefaso]

[utuberine]

@kdonefaso Go to Jeep Forum for good help. Guys there know what they are talkin about. Your problem could be caused by a number of things.

[jbaj007]

GREAT videos. Really helped me and I've done this before, but had forgotten some of the little things that you show. Thanks. I like your wife's commentary.

[springborodogpack]

very much appreciate this help. eases my mind that i can do it myself...... thanks.

[lotzoso]

This was very helpful. I heard a rattling noise in my front end and bought new brake pads. When I got the wheel off I seen where the noise was really coming from.

I was going to take it to be repaired until I heard the cost. I just looked up the axle on google search and your video came up.

I didn't know you could buy the whole piece assembled. You just saved me money and headaches.

Those chemicals you put your hands in aren't very friendly to your health. Nice information thanks but geez man wear some gloves.

[TheSad200]

Great thanks

Hub to knuckle torque is 102 Nm or 75 ft. lbs.

Hub nut torque is 237 Nm or 175 ft .lbs.

Brake caliper bolts 10-20 Nm or 7-15 ft. lbs.

[infoequipt]

In case you didn't catch that...

Hub nut is 36 mm or 1 3/8 in.

[jaredman67]

does anyone know if this is about the same procedure on a 00(wj) cherokee?

[bootht99]

@jaredman67 cherokee's are xj's. grand cherokee's totally different vehicles.

[janschautz]

[CRDLIBERTY]

To much gooeeey. Brake clean is your friend.

[hadleymatt]

thanks for the video, GO PB!!!

[bulldog0046]

Thanks for the video I have to do this tomorrow as my left axle exploded apart this mourning. Lost the bearings and split the case. No rebuilding that. I just needed to see if there was something I was missing before i get started. Seems pretty basic. Thanks again.

[onlyajeep97]

Absolute Perfection, Very clear instructions and your camera woman asked all the right questions. 5 stars. :)
