Product Features
TRQ drivetrain kits are manufactured using premium raw materials to restore original performance. Each TRQ drivetrain component is designed to be a direct, maintenance-free replacement to the stock unit. To extend the service life of your drivetrain, TRQ recommends replacing wheel hubs, bearings, and constant velocity (CV) drive axles at the same time to ensure even wear of components and improved ride comfort. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.
CV axles are designed to transmit the power from your vehicle's drivetrain to the wheels while being able to flex and pivot to the demands of the steering and suspension systems.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years! We're dedicated to delivering quality auto parts, expert customer service, and fast and free shipping, all backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. So visit us at 1AAuto.com, your trusted source for quality auto parts.
In this video, we're going to be working with our 2009 Nissan Rogue. We're going to show you how to remove and replace your right front wheel hub. This is a CVT all-wheel drive vehicle, but should be very similar for the other styles. If you like this video, please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this and many other vehicles, and if you need this part for your car, you can follow the link down in the description over to 1AAuto.com.
Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 10-32mm sockets, ratchet, socket extensions, u-joints, breaker bar, bungee cord, mechanics wire, needle nose pliers, wrenches, punch, hammer, torque wrench, jack, jack stands
Crack all of your lug nuts loose with a 21 millimeter socket and a breaker bar. Raise and support your vehicle. We're using a lift to make this easier to show you what's going on, but this can easily be done at home with a jack and jack stands. Remove the rest of your lug nuts either by hand or with the help of a 21 millimeter socket. These are kind of deep into the wheels, so it helps to use a socket. Remove your wheel and tire from the vehicle.
Use a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet to remove the 10 millimeter ABS sensor hold down bolt. Now this isn't going to be as easy as we're going to make it look. You'll probably want to use some pliers or a screwdriver to help wiggle this out, but you want to remove your ABS sensor from the hub.
Remove the cotter pin. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to bend it up straight, and then you can usually poke one of the teeth through the loop, and then just pull your pin out. Using a wrench, in our case, we're using a 15mm. You're going to want to set this up to wedge it against the caliper, and just use one of your lug nuts, just hand tight to hold it there. I'll actually probably want to put one here to keep from damaging the threads as well.
Using a 32 millimeter socket and a breaker bar, break the axle nut loose and remove it. Remove the lug nuts as well as your wrench. Using a punch, go into the center divot of the CV axle and tap the splines loose from the hub with a hammer. Using a 19 millimeter socket, remove the caliber bracket bolts. I'm using a long handle half inch ratchet, but you can start off with a breaker bar if yours are really stuck. Once you have the bracket removed, secure it out of the way with a bungee cord, mechanics wire, or some zip ties.
Remove your rotor. Remove the four 17 millimeter bolts on the back side of the spindle, securing the hub. We popped our axle out as far as we can. We'll do this with a 17 millimeter socket, ratchet and extension. It usually helps to soak these in penetrating oil, and we've done that. However if you break them, don't be too concerned. Just as long as you have new hardware, they thread into the actual wheel hub that we're going to be replacing. It may help to have a wobble extension or a universal joint on some of these bolts.
Remove the hub by hitting the edges to free it up from the spindle. Once it's out, you may still need to hit the CV axle. We ended up replacing our CV axle. So be sure when you remove yours, you use a block of wood, a soft hammer, or a punch in the divot of the CV axle when removing it so you don't damage yours.
Here we have our old hub that we removed from our vehicle, and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these parts were exactly the same. We had quite a bit of difficulty removing this one, as the splines for the CV axle had actually seized into the splines of the hub, so it took some heat, some pretty heavy duty tools, and quite a bit of work with a hammer to get this out. So it's bent and missing studs, but other than that, the basics are the same. We have brand new studs on this one, brand new splines.
Everything's the same dimensionally. On the back we have the same four bolt mounting locations. It's a new bearing and a new hub. We also have the dust shield on the back here for our CV axle, and the tone ring for your ABS is actually inside this, so it's ready to go, you just bolt it in and your ABS signal will work. So if your wheel bearing has gone bad and is groaning or creating a grinding or whining sound, this new part from 1A Auto is going to go in direct fit, just like your original equipment, and fix you up right.
Reinstall the dust shield and the hub. The easiest way to do this is to get it close over the CV axle, and send a few bolts in from the back side. Just start those in to keep it in place there while you line up and install the rest of them.
Using the 17 millimeter socket, ratchet and the appropriate extensions, tighten down the four 17 millimeter bolts, securing your hub to the steering knuckle. Once the hub is installed, reinstall the nut onto the CV axle. Reinstall your break rotor.
Remove the hangar from the caliper. Reinstall that over the rotor. Reinstall the 19 millimeter bolts by hand for the caliper carrier bracket. You can then tighten them down with a 19 millimeter socket and ratchet. So install your wrench the other way to brace against the brake caliper. Don't forget to install the other lug nut here to keep that wrench from damaging any threads. Use your 32 millimeter socket, and I'm going to use a breaker bar to get some leverage on this, to tighten down that nut, and just pop it off and make sure if your new nut is a castle nut like ours is, that those tabs line up with the holes in the axle. Install a cotter pin, bend it over, then remove the lug nuts and wrenches.
Reinstall your sensor. Reinstall the 10 millimeter hold down bolt, and tighten it down with the 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Reinstall your wheel and tire as well as all five of your lug nuts. Now I'm just going to use a 21 millimeter socket and bring the lug nuts down as tight as I can by hand using that. With the vehicle lowered partially, so just a little bit of weight is on the tires to keep them from turning, we'll torque our lug nuts to 80 foot pounds in a cross pattern.

Hi. I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Okay, we're going to pull this hubcap off. Just grab under here and pull. You can also use the little pry bar and get in between and pry it out. Now, we're going to use a 21 millimeter socket and a breaker bar to loosen up the lug nuts before we lift the vehicle.
We're going to take this cotter pin out. We're going to use some side cutters. Just grab it right here, bend this back like that. Try to pull this out this way. You can throw that away. You don't want to reuse that. Then, we can pull this cage off, and it will just hold the nut from loosening up. I'm going to use a screwdriver to help pry it out a little bit, if I can pry up on that. Pull it up.
Now, I'm going to take a 32 millimeter socket and a breaker bar, and I'm going to loosen up this axle nut. Once it's loose, I can go back up in there. I'll take the lug nuts off. Now, take the tire off. Just give it a little hit.
I'll just use a ratchet to help me get this nut off. Once I get the nut flush with the axle, I'm going to stop, and I'm going to hit it with a hammer to break the axle free from the hub bearing. This will prevent any damage I do to the threads of the axle. That's broken free, so that's good. Now, I can take that nut off.
I’m going to turn this so it's easier to access. All right, we're going to take this shield off. I'm going to take these little push clips off. Just use a straight screwdriver. These come out and then this can come off. I'm going to disconnect this wheel speed sensor wire, just because it's going to give me a little more slack when I move the front suspension out of the way. Just use a straight screwdriver. You can use your finger too, but this one's a little tricky. Just pull that out, and just set that aside.
We're going to have to take this ball joint pinch bolt out. There's a good amount of rust right here, so I'm going to use some rust penetrant on this. Just like that. I'm going to use an 18 millimeter wrench on this side, on the bolt side. I'm going to use an 18 millimeter socket and a ratchet on the nut side, and I'm going to break this free. I'm going to use a punch so that I don't mess up the threads of the bolt, and a hammer. I'll just tap it through the rest of the way.
We want to separate this lower ball joint from the knuckle. We're going to use a ball joint separator. Slide this right here. You have to give it a little tap. Okay, so the top is going to push right there, so we can tighten this down. We need a socket and a ratchet to tighten this. I'm going to try to separate this knuckle right here. I'm going to use a chisel to get the ball joint out a little easier, so I'll use a chisel and a hammer to separate it a little bit. Just give it a little tap.
All right, so I'm going to use my ball joint separator again, but because the ball joint's further down there, the separator won't push it down any further, so I'm going to take a nut and stick it in between there. That'll be pushing the nut down, and it should bring it down a little bit more for us. The tool's pushing on the nut, which is pushing down on the ball joint. It's pushing down the ball joint. You don't wat to tighten this tool too much. If it starts feeling like it's tightening it up, then you want to stop, because you could break the tool. That brought it down a lot more. At this point, I'm going to use a punch and a hammer to hammer it down a little bit. It's coming down. There we go. Now, we're going to move this knuckle out of the way of the ball joint. I'll just pull the ball joint down, push this out.
I can take and tap the axle in. Push that out of the way. Pull the axle out this way. Now, I have to separate the axle over here. You're going to want to stick a pan underneath to catch any fluid that comes out of the transmission, and we'll do that. I'll take a pry bar, and pry up against the transmission, and just pry the axle out, just like that. There's a C-clip that holds it in. Once that's a little bit loose, you can wiggle it out. You may have to push the knuckle out of your way a little bit. The C-clip is stuck a little bit. Take the pry bar, pull it out. Here we go. Pull it out.
Here's our old axle. Here's our new driver's side axle from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, the splines are the same. The tripod joints are the same, and the boots are the same. It’s very similar to the old one. The new one comes with a new nut, a new cage, and a new cotter pin. Get yours at 1AAuto.com, and you'll be ready to rock and roll.
We're going to slide this axle in here. You want to make sure and be careful of the seal. Don't cut it. If you do feel that there is a warped section in the seal or its cut, you should replace it. Just be careful. Push it in. We can use a dead blow hammer to tap it in. There we go. Once it's in, make sure it's locked in. That feels good. We're going to put the axle back in the hub, right there, like that. You might have to spin the hub a little bit to get it to line up.
All right, once that's lined up, then we can pull down our control arm and slide our ball joint back in. Before I slide the ball joint back in, I'm just going to use a wire brush to clean some of this rust up. You can clean some up in here, in the knuckle. Now, line the knuckle up with the ball joint, right there. Be careful. You don't want to get your finger caught in there. Once that's lined up, you can use a dead blow and hammer it up. That's lined up.
I'm going to use a little bit of copper anti-seize on this bolt. Hopefully, we don't have to take it out again. In case we do have to take it out again, it'll come out easier. We'll slide that in. Tap that bolt in. I'll put the nut on. All right, so I'm going to tighten this down by hand first, and then we're going to torque it. Once it’s snug, we'll get the torque wrench. Using an 18 millimeter socket on a torque wrench, we're going to torque these to 20 foot-pounds. We actually sell these torque wrenches at 1AAuto.com. That's torqued to spec.
We're going to reinstall this ABS sensor wiring harness. It’s going to slide it into this groove right here, and then we'll reinsert the connector so it locks in.
Now, we're going to install this side cover. Just line that up. I'll take these little push tabs, push these in. Got the last one in.
In this repair, we removed the lower ball joint. It's recommended that, whenever you remove any front end components or replace any front end components, that you have an alignment checked or performed. Go to your local shop and have your alignment at least checked.
Reinstall the tire. Install the lug nuts. All right, before we drop this down, we're going to install the axle nut. When we drop it down, we're going to torque the axle nut, and then we're going to torque all the lug nuts.
All right, we're going to torque this axle nut to 138 foot-pounds. We're going to use a 32 millimeter socket and a torque wrench. All right, so that's torqued. Now, we're going to put this cage over here. You want it so that you can get the cotter pin through. You always want to make sure you replace the cotter pin. Never want to reuse an old cotter pin. That's lined up pretty good. I'll take my side cutters, just give it a little tap, tap it down. Now, I can twist this to the side a little bit, and I'll bend it out. Take the other side and bend this side out as well. Tap it down a little bit, if it's in the way. That looks good right there.
Now, we're going to torque our lug nuts down to 80 foot-pounds. We're going to torque them in a star pattern that will tighten the wheel down evenly. Now, we'll take the hubcap. You're going to line it up with the slot for the valve stem. You just hammer it down.
Okay, we're going to want to check the transmission fluid. To check it, the dipstick is right here. You're going to need a little tool to just push on the lock. We're just using a little screw driver. Push on the lock. That releases the dipstick. You can pull out the dipstick. You can wipe it off.
Here's where the level indicators are on the dipstick. You're going to want the dipstick fluid to be right about there. Now, when you're checking this, you're going to want to check it with the engine running. The transmission fluid has to be at about 160 degrees Fahrenheit, so you're going to have to warm up the car for a while and check it that way. After you wipe the dipstick off, we'll put it in. Put the lock on the other side, so you don't have to unlock it every time you check it. You can pull it out like this. We can check it again. Our fluid looks a little bit on the low side. If we warm this up of about 10 or 15 minutes, we want it a little bit higher. We will add a little bit of fluid to our vehicle.
Make sure you're using the appropriate fluid. Check your owner's manual to see what kind of fluid. Just use a funnel, and you add the fluid right there. Take the funnel out. You can recheck it. As you can see, our level is right here, so that's good. Then, we can reinsert the dipstick, and then lock it in place.

Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Okay, so we noticed grease on the ground when we were checking our parking spot. Obviously, there's a ton of grease in this area. The grease is coming from this CV boot which has ripped open, so it's all flinging out. This needs to be repaired.
At this point, you can either replace the boot or you can replace the whole axle. We're going to pull this hubcap off, just grab onto here and pull. You can also use a little pry bar and get in between pry it out. Now we're going to use a 21 millimeter socket and a breaker bar to loosen up the lug nuts before we lift the vehicle. Raise and support the vehicle, we did it on a lift. You can do this on a Jack and Jack stands. We're going to take the lug nuts off. Now take the tire off. Just give it a little hit.
We're going to take this cotter pin out when you use some side cutters. Just grab it right here and bend this back like that. Let me try to pull this out this way. You can throw that away. You don't want to re-use that, and pull this cage off. It will just hold the nut from loosening up. Then you use a screwdriver to help pry it out a little bit. It's like it's stuck in there right there. If I can pry up on that, pull it up. Now we have to take this nut off.
To get this nut off, I'm going to put the tire back on. We're going to drop it down so we can break the nut free. Throw the tire up. Now I'm only going to put two lug nuts on because we're not driving this down the road like this, but we just want the tire to be stable. So this is pretty rusty, so I am going to spray some rust penetrant on here so it's easier to take the nut off and it doesn't damage anything. I'm just lowering it down a little bit just so the tire doesn't move.
I don't have to lower the vehicle all the way down to the ground. Now I'm going to take a 32 millimeter socket and a breaker bar, and I'll loosen up this axle nut. Once it's loose, I can go back up in there. I'll take my tire off. I'll just use a ratchet to help me get this nut off. Once I get the nut flush with the axle and then stop, and I'm going to hit it with a hammer to break the axle free from the hub bearing. This will prevent any damage I do to the threads of the axle.
So that's broken free, so that's good, so now I can take that nut off. We're going to take this shield off. I'm going to take these little push clips off. Just use a straight screwdriver. This come out then this can come off. I'm going to disconnect this wheel speed sensor wire just because it's going to give me a little more slack when I moved the front suspension out of the way.
Just use the straight screwdriver. You can use your finger too, but this one's a little tricky, so just pull that out and we'll just set that aside. We're going to have to take this ball joint pinch bolt out so there's a good amount of rust right here, so I'm going to use some rust penetrant on this just like that.
I'm going to use an 18 millimeter wrench on this side and the bolt side, and I'm going to use an 18 millimeter socket and a ratchet on the nut side. And I'm going to break this free. All right, I'm going to spray some rust penetrant on this bolt, on all of this area. I'm trying to loosen up this bolt. I put the nut back on.
What I'm going to do is use an air hammer to try to push it through. While I'm doing that, I'm using an 18 millimeter socket and a breaker bar and I'm going to keep pressure on it and hopefully get it to turn a little bit as I push it through this way. We got this to break free. We're just working it back and forth, back and forth and spraying it with some rust penetrant. Just having patience going back and forth I'm able to break it free. So I'm going to tap this side with the hammer we still have the nut on so we don't damage the threads.
At this point I can pull that nut back off. I'm going to use a punch, so that I don't mess up the threads of the bolt and the hammer. I'll just tap it through the rest of the way. As you can see, this bolt is all corroded and rusted that was preventing us from taking it out and I will clean it up and put some anti seize on it before we put it back in.
Now we need to get this ball joint out of here, so to make it easier we're going to turn the wheel to the right like that and then I'm going to use a chisel punch to spread the ears, that's what's holding the ball joint in. This will make the ball joint come out easier. I'm going to try putting a pry bar in here, prying down on the ball joint, and break it free from the knuckle. Doesn't want to come off. We have this ball joint tool that's going to separate the ball joint from the knuckle. What it does is it pushes on the top part of the ball joint, the stud part, and it'll push it right out.
So I'll tighten this bolt up that's going to push the ball joint out. I'm going to try to hammer on the lower control arm. As you can see the ball joint coming out. There we go. So we're going to pop this axle out on this side and just tap it like this through the punch. Now we're going to pull it out, push on this knuckle assembly, pull the axle out, pull it to the side. Now I can drop the vehicle down a little bit. So there's a little retainer that holds the bearing in right here, there's two 13 millimeter bolts.
So I'm going to take those out, the long extension and a ratchet. We're going to pull this bolt out and then I can slide this retainer off. Alright, so before we pull this axle out, we want to make sure we have a drain bucket. I'm going to stick it right here. So if any of the fluid comes out of the transmission, we can catch it. At this point the axle should just pull right out. Because of New England rust, it is stuck in there. I'm going to use a big pry bar, get under here, I'm going to try to pry the axle out. It's not coming out because it's rusty. So I'm going to spray some rust penetrant on this barren hope to free it up a little bit.
I'm going to take another pry bar a little bit shorter and I'm going to use a hammer in the backside. I'm going to tap the axle out. We're going to use this polar on a slide hammer. We have this attachment here. Slide this in behind the axle here, and then we'll try to slide it up.
I'm going to spray some more rust penetrant on the inside here and we'll keep pulling. The axle is coming out. As you can see, our transmission fluid is dripping so make sure you put that pan under to catch the fluid. I'm going to keep on pulling. There's the axle.
As you can see, this bearing was seized in that bracket. This is a steel bearing which is, the bracket was aluminum so the two metals combined with rust, it sits in there pretty good. We tried many ways to get this out. We used pry bars in between here and the bracket, a hammer and a punch. We use some rust penetrant on this and soaked it. That seemed to help a little bit but still struggled. What we ended up using was this C-clamp type tool with this long extension on a slide hammer and this going right here was able to get a good grasp on it, and it pulled it right out. You can buy one of these tools or rent one, this is what worked for us. There may be other ways to get this out, but this is how we did it.
Here's our old axles with the ripped boot. All the grease is flinging out. Here's our new axle from 1aauto.com. Everything is set up pretty much the same. The bearings in the same location. This dust cap, the splines are the same. The boots are the same and the splines on this side of the same. This axle comes with a new nut in this cage and a cotter pin. You want to replace the cotter pin when you pull that out. You don't ever want to reuse a cotter pin, get yours at 1aauto.com and you'll be ready to rock and roll.
We're going to clean inside this bracket right here. We're going to use a wire brush and a drill. You can use emery cloth, sandpaper or a hand wire brush. I just want to clean it out, get some of the rust off over here so our axle will go in easier. You could use a file too, you just file it a little bit. Take a rag and wipe this out. Now that the axle is out, we can take some brake cleaner and some rags, and we're going to clean all this area before we put the new axle in.
I'm going to put some of this copper anti-seize lubricant on here. You can use some kind of grease if you want. It's better to have a higher temperature type grease because it gets really hot here. This anti-seize compound goes to about 1800 degrees, which is good. Just put this around, this'll help installing the axle and should help if we ever have to remove it in the future make it come out a lot easier.
Put this axle back in. You don't want to line it up over near the transmission over here, line that up good. So carefully we're going to use a dead blow hammer, I want to protect the threads so I'm just going to hammer it in. So you want to check this bearing right here make sure that is flush with that bracket and ours looks good, and then we can install the retainer that holds that down.
We'll reinstall this bracket right here and then these bolts that'll hold the bearing and actually hold in and actually hold the axle in. Use a 13 millimeter socket and a ratchet and extension. Snug these bolts down. Insert the axle back into the hub. Push this out of the way. Slide that in there. Lower control arm down a little bit. Push this whole assembly closer to the axle. Might have to turn the hub a little bit. Get the splines to line up. There we go just like that. And then I'm going to install this ball joint.
Be careful: watch your fingers. You don't want to get caught in there. Take the dead blow hammer and just tap it up. So we had a struggle getting this bolt out, but we cleaned it up with a wire brush. I'm going to use a little bit of anti-seize on this just in case we have to take it apart again. Looks good and all that. And then install the nut on the backside, so snug this down and then we'll torque it. We're going to torque this nut to 21 foot-pounds. We're using this torque wrench with an 18 millimeter socket. You can get these torque wrenches at 1aauto.com.
So in this repair we removed the ball joint. It is recommended that anytime you do any kind of suspension work, even if you're not replacing parts that you should have the alignment checked at a local garage. We're going to reconnect the front wheel speed sensor. Slide it into this bracket right here. We'll plug in the connector right there till it clicks. All right, we're going to put this cover on right here. Slide that in and take our push pins.
Before I put the axle nut on, I'm going to throw the tire up. If you have a aluminum wheel, you're going to need to take the center cap off. We had steel wheels, so we'll just leave the hubcap off. We'll put the axle nut on and then we're going to drop the vehicle down and torque the axle nut and then torque the lug nuts. All right, so I want to torque this axle nut. I'm not going to put the vehicle all the way to the ground just enough so that the wheel won't turn. I'm going to torque this to 138 foot-pounds. That's good.
I'm going to put this little cage on and line it up so that you can get the cotter pin in. You can move the cage if it's in the way so that you can line it up with the hole better. That way seems like the best. So use some side cutters to help me get it through. Just wiggle it back and forth a little bit. Once you get it down there, we can grab one side, twist it and grab this other one and twist it to the other side, and that's going to prevent the axle nut from loosening up. Now we're going to torque these lug nuts to 80 foot-pounds.
We're going to do it in a star pattern. That will torque the wheel down evenly. We're going to install the hub cap, line the hubcap up with the valve stem. This little slot right there and then bang it on. Okay, we're going to want to check the transmission fluid. To check it, the dipstick is right here. You're going to need a little tool to just push on the lock or just using a little screw driver, push on the lock that releases the dipstick and you can pull out the dipstick, wipe it off.
Here's where the level indicators are on the dipstick, you're going to want the dipstick fluid to be right about there. Now when you're checking this, you won't going to want to check it with the engine running and the transmission fluid has to be at about 160 degrees Fahrenheit, so you're going to have to warm up the car for a while and check it that way. After you wipe the dipstick off, we'll put it in. Put the lock on the other side so you don't have to unlock it every time you check it and you can pull it out like this.
We can check it again our fluid looks a little bit on the low side. If we warmed this up for about 10 or 15 minutes, we wanted a little bit higher so we we'll add a little bit of fluid to our vehicle. Make sure you're using the appropriate fluid. Check your owner's manual to see what kind of fluid. You just use a funnel and you add the fluid right there. Take the funnel out. You can recheck it. As you can see, our level is right here, so that's good. So then we can reinsert the dipstick and lock it in place.

In this video we're going to be working with our 2009 Nissan Rogue. We're going to show you how to remove and replace your right front CV axle on an all-wheel drive CVT vehicle. If you like this video, please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this and many other vehicles, and if you need this part for your car, you can follow the link down in the description over 1AAuto.com.
Here are the items you'll need for this repair: New axle from 1AAuto.com 10-32mm sockets, ratchet, socket extensions, 15-21mm wrenches, breaker bar, bungee cord, needle nose pliers, punch, hammer, striking bar, rubber mallet, drain pan, torque wrench, transmission fluid and funnel, flat blade screwdriver, jack, jack stands
Crack all of your lug nuts loose with a 21 millimeter socket and breaker bar. Raise and support your vehicle. We're using a lift to make this easier to show you what's going on, but this can easily be done at home with a jack and a jack stand. Remove the rest of your lug nuts either by hand or with the help of a 21-millimeter socket. These are kind of deep into the wheel so it helps to use a socket. Remove your wheel and tire from the vehicle.
Remove the cotter pin. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to bend it up straight, and then you can usually poke one of the teeth through the loop and just pull your pin out. Using a wrench, in our case we're using a 15, you're going to want to set this up to wedge it against the caliper and just use one of your lug nuts. Just hand tight to hold it there. You'll actually probably want to put one here to keep from damaging the threads as well. Using a 32-millimeter socket and a breaker bar, break the axle nut loose and remove it. Remove the lug nuts as well as your wrench. Using a punch, go into the center divot of the CV axle and tap the splines loose from the hub with a hammer.
Using a 19 millimeter socket, remove the caliper bracket bolts. I'm using a long handle, half-inch ratchet, but you can start off with a breaker bar if yours are really stuck. Once you have the bracket removed, secure it out of the way with a bungee cord, mechanics wire, or some zip ties. Remove your rotor.
Disconnect the ABS sensor wire holders from the bottom of the strut. Remove the nuts and bolts from the bottom of the strut plate with a 21-millimeter socket, ratchet, and wrench. In removing the second bolt, you'll likely have to wiggle the spindle in and out from the hub just to get some room to free up that bolt. You should then be able to pull the spindle out and forward, which will give you enough room to remove your CV axle.
Remove the two 13-millimeter bolts on the lock plate of the CV axle. We'll do this with a 13-millimeter socket, ratchet, and a long extension. Remove the last bolt, and we'll slide that lock plate off with it. Put a striking bar or a long punch on to the front edge of the bearing on the engine side of the CV axle support bracket. You got to just hit it pretty good with a big hammer and knock it out of its holder, and that will also pop out the joint on this side. Be sure to have a drain bucket placed under your vehicle before you start removing the CV axle. You can now remove the CV axle from the vehicle.
Here we have our old part that we removed from our vehicle and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these parts are exactly the same, with the same splines and threads, the same joints and boots, same shaft size. We have the same center support bearing here as well as the same splines on the opposite end and the dust shield. The old one gets damaged pretty well on the way out, but that's part of the reason we're replacing it. That and this boot is completely torn.
Now you can change the boots individually, but it's a lot of work and for the cost of the parts plus your time, it's generally easier to just install a new CV axle assembly. If your vehicle has torn boots, is clicking or binding when turning, this new part from 1A Auto is going to go in direct fit just like your original equipment and fix you up right.
Reinstall the CV axle into the vehicle. Want to make sure you go through the center support bearing hole as well as the second opening for the axle. You'll then want to line up the splines into the differential. Once that's all lined up, you may want to knock the joint in with a rubber mallet. Reinstall the lock plate. Reinstall and tighten the two 13-millimeter bolts on the lock plate with a 13-millimeter socket ratchet and a long extension. Now these are only going into aluminum so don't crank them down. Just get them snug.
Reinstall the splines of the CV axle into the hub and install the new nut. Just a couple of threads to help keep everything in place. Reinstall the spindle into the strut. You're going to need to work that around a little to get everything to line up. You'll want to do one bolt first, usually the bottom is easiest, and then you should just be able to wiggle it nice and easy and get the top in.
Reinstall the 21-millimeter nuts. You can then tighten the bolts back down with a 21-millimeter socket, ratchet, and wrench. Reinstall the ABS sensor holders. Reinstall your brake rotor. Remove the hanger from the caliper. Reinstall that over the rotor. Reinstall the 19-millimeter bolts by hand for the caliper carrier bracket. You can then tighten them down with a 19-millimeter socket and ratchet.
Install your wrench the other way to brace against the brake caliper. Don't forget to install the other lug nut here to keep that wrench from damaging any threads. Use your 32-millimeter socket, and I'm going to use a breaker bar to get some leverage on this to tighten down that nut. Just pop it off and make sure if your new nut is a castle nut like ours is, that those tabs line up with the holes in the axle. Install the cotter pin. Bend it over, and remove the lug nuts and wrenches. Reinstall your wheel and tire as well as all five of your lug nuts. Now I'm just going to use a 21-millimeter socket and bring the lug nuts down as tight as I can by hand using that. With the vehicle lowered partially so just a little bit of weight is on the tires to keep them from turning, we'll torque our lug nuts to 80 foot-pounds in a cross pattern.
Now if you lost some fluid like we did, you'll want to top it off here. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to depress the tab and remove the dipstick. Always be sure to check because these vehicles came with both conventional automatic transmissions and CVT, or constantly variable transmissions, and they do take different fluids. Now I measured how much I lost, so I lost about a quarter of a quart. We'll refill that with a transmission funnel right through the fill tube. Then you'll want to check it with the same dipstick with the vehicle running in park and at operating temperature.
