Just did this job on my 2012 Rogue. For the first time ever, it all came apart the way its supposed to. No slide hammer, no ball joint press, no heat, did not have to remove anything extra. Old one out and New one in, 2 hours. Be advised the world may end later this afternoon.

I've done a few of these here in Massachusetts. I have never been able to get the carrier bearing out of the housing in the car as shown, even with heat. I have always had to remove the axle and housing together and then use a combination of sledge hammer, air hammer, and heat to get them apart on the bench. Good old road salt!

To deal with this, you need to remove the eight housing bolts. Then, undo the two twelve mm nuts from the exhaust mount. Slide the mount off the studs. Pry the exhaust down as far as you can and stick a wood block or something in there to hold it down. At that point, you can just barely finagle the axle and housing out. Having a helper makes it easier.

I like all of your videos, but in all fairness, this is a totally different job on the ground. I have done several of these in NY, on many Nissans with that support bearing and it could take all day fighting it out. You have far less leverage on the ground. The best way I have found to do them is to take the bearing support bracket out with the CV axle, support the housing and hit the Axle end with a 4 pound hammer. Using a penetrating oil does help as the shock from the hits helps it work its way in. The bracket is held on by 4 or 5 bolts.

you do not have to remove the lower ball joint Removing the 2 bolts on the strut brace is a lot easier. Trust me I just replaced one.

I am BEYOND grateful 🙏 for this video this was intensively educational for me and I can now say that I can replace my cv axel with confidence thank you

I'm a service technician at Nissan. I've done a lot of r/f axles on these Rogue's, I've never had to separate the ball joints to do the r/f axle

Hey 1A. Currently enrolled in an automotive college. and had to tackle this task today on my own personal vehicle. 2011 rogue AWD. We used a slide hammer and everything but that bearing would not release. we ended up having to take that whole assembly that the bearing slides into off, which included my exhaust coming off aswell. My instructor was astounded how hard it was to pop that balljoint out too! cussing up a storm just trying to get most of the bolts off in such a tight space, currently the car is still at the college campus, tomorrow we are tackling taking out the shaft from the support thing that the bearing is seized onto.
Great informative video btw
Did everything you said and most of it worked, except that stubborn bearing xD

[roelm.]

This video was very helpful I replaced mine yesterday but I didn't have to remove the ball joint.

[fabiony]

This guys numbers one ☝🏻 thank you you the best

[frankmillerjr]

audio could use some improvements but over all techniques are very useful thank you for sharing ..

[stevedicketts]

Had to watch. 2010 Rogue cv wouldn't come out, stuck bearing. Removed cv and bracket holding cv. Penetrating oil hasn't worked yet. Car is on ground. Also was wondering how to seat bearing if this hard to remove. Using a soft hammer to seat. Glad you had video showing tesl world replacement. Watched video yesterday, the mech said and showed, "just pull it out". Right. Well anyway thanks for a true video.

[MrGarcon]

extremely good and precise job ! i am retired and i even subscribed ! you never know LOL

[MrChocochip]

Where did you get the extension for the slide hammer??

[ryandavis]

how long did it REALLY take to pull the axle out with that slide hammer??

[matth]

"At this point the axle should just slide out." Those things are ridiculous. The two most popular ways we do it at our Nissan dealership are to take the bracket out and use the press or torch on the bracket with an air hammer on the back of the axle.

[nabaddame]

I'm surprised the bolts are 13mm and 18mm on a Nissan. Every other Nissan I've worked on used sizes like 14mm and 17 or 19mm. That was kinda weird. I would have definitely undone the strut rather than that ball joint

[darrellbaker]

I'm no professional buy any means. But I would suggest to never use a wire brush near the opening of a transmission. Those bristles fly off and you most definitely don't want them inside your transmission.

[danielmccabe]

I'm having the same problem getting the axle out, hopefully can get it without having to rent the slide hammer.
