Great video! I used it as a step-by-step guide as I changed the CV axel in my 2003 Camry, and the process was flawless! Car drives like new. Thanks for the info!

Used this video for the 07 XLE. Worked great. For the XLE you don't need to take off thre hub cap. Also, highly reccomended the ball joint separator and possibly and axel pull kit. I did it with the pry bar but it sucked.

Thanks you did an awesome job, Nice video so clear 👍

Hello, I see there is a part in the middle of the shaft which I believe is called a dampener. Your new part doesn't have it in the side by side comparison. Will that cause vibration issues since the old part had the dampener? If I was to source the job out to a shop, how many hours should it take them? Thanks

thank you so much for this tutorial ❤❤

Hey bro instead of having someone hold the brakes just take off the nut before you jack the car up(useful tip)

[brendandemjanec]

i love the first line of this video "use a pry bar or a large screwdriver" confirming that a screwdriver is in fact, a pry bar

[waelibrahim]

Thank you for this video. I have question . Is after change axle must do alignment? Thanks

I wish my axle came out that easily, it took me a hour to finally get that axle spindle thing out. My hands are still cramping. Even with rust penetration spray. Lucky.

Observation: I noticed a Ratchet Wrench repeatedly used to "Break Free" fasteners.

I was trained to ALWAYS use a Breaker Bar for "Breaking Free" a fastener. Never a Ratchet Wrench. Too much torque and the Ratchet Mechanism would fail. Breaker Bars are Robust and Bulletproof.

I broke my 1971 Craftsman Ratchet Wrench in the mid-80's. I was attempting to remove a "frozen" fastener. Disassembly and Inspection revealed two broken teeth on the main ratchet gear. SEARS was willing to replace the Wrench for free. I wanted a new/replacement main ratchet gear. My Wrench remains broken. But, I do have a nice collection of Breaker Bars.

When changing the cv axle, is it necessary to program the transmission if it is automatic?🤔

Axel is lined up and in all the way?

Are you in England? That's the passenger side, here in the US.

[robertortega]

Do you think it’ll be easier if you remove the knuckle from the upper ball joint instead of lower you’d have better access?

[jordanwinsor]

Should you drain the transmission before doing this?

A light coat of bearing grease would have made that reinstall go a bit smoother.
