This Car Almost Killed My Customer

What brand cv axle you recommend?

Information and comedy relief Scotty you take the cussing out of auto mechanics. This video makes it look so easy.

Similar but more pain involved on a Chrysler….

I love all his video❤❤

Do you need to take off tie rod if you remove the strut tower bolts?

i just got a shaft for a suzuki sx4 and they sent me one for a standard not an automatic! i tore the whole thing apart only to put the car down turn around to go get tranny fluid turn back around and the car was rolling down the driveway!

Schotty does a job in 5 minutes and I need 3 days.

You make it look so easy. Thanks a bunch.

Fun Fact: A brand new Corvette is more likely to kill you than a clacking cv joing...just sayin'

I don't know how you make everything so easy but I love it.. gives me hope. I just replaced my CV shaft along with my wheel bearing and brake pads with much help from you. Thanks Kilmer!

What a beast!!! I wasnlosing my mind thinking itnwas impossible to do this without a lift! Didt realizenall i needed was a car jack

Good on ya Scotty, just like to ask,
Cotter pin- Split pin, are those pins not actually called Split pins, as I’m sure Cotter, the designer, designed and one side tapered pin commonly used for push cycle peddle rod to main shaft to connect these, also developed the split pin but most called that the split pin as it is just that, funny how this confusion has happened.

Scotty too hotty. Thanks

Who knew it was that easy!? Thanks for the video :)

What brand of cv axle you trust Scott?

I like to take wire brush and clean around the bolt pattern and the inner tire to take most of that they off before putting fire back on.

I wonder just what the passenger axle actually does can I eliminate it I wonder

Ohh now i see he didnt open up the wishbone to remove the axle ???

My son's Chevy Avero doesn't have any pins... not one... it's made like the that! Not on the ball joints, Not on the tie rods, and Not on the axle nut! Crazy!!

I wonder should you get this re aligned?

Does this require a fresh alignment afterwards?

This looks too easy ,whats the catch ??!!

Damn he quick in it’s easy for him

Of course it's a Toyota

Lol the goons at the honda dealership I bought my 95 Avalon at fucked mine up good and proper. They did my A-Arm so they had to take out the lower joint from the hub to get at the ball joint to undo that and 1 month later my CV axle jumped clean out of the transmission with absolutely no warning. No clacks, clicks or grinding sounds. It got mangled, spilled the allan bolts and the spacers out and I only recovered 1 that wasn't broken. Now I am hunting for those spacers. I found bolts that fit. Toyota dealership has the spacers but they might be 2 days or 2 weeks since they are in california and I am in Ontario, Canada. That's why not to fix it yourself... but I am going to anyway. I'll macgyver something up to hold me over until the spacers arrive. I got new axles ready to go in (going to do both since they are originals). Also they managed to bust the cotter pin off inside the tie rod end so the pin is stuck inside the hole and the castle nut spun right off over it. I will have to find something to punch it out with. Ironically my punch is too big to fit inside the tie rod bolt.

Lol get the big hammer and whack it off . I can imagine in his new videos that’s when he puts the laughing horse

What car(make and model) were you working on?

What I need to know from you mister Kilmer if you used OEM or aftermarket? That’s all it matters to me right now. My car is giving me a hard time. Thank you

And just like that, you did that whole job in just over 4 minutes. You make it look so easy!

How do you not have more likes. Fuckin legend

Scotty, you forgot to show "torquing down the axle nut". Very important.
Great video as always.

🔥💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Scotty’s answer to old rusty part removal [ wak it off🤣] # love it.


This guy is a wealth of knowledge

This video perfectly describes the issue I've had going on since I got my car back from the dealership for a transmission replacement.

Do u recommend buying aftermarket axles? I see mixed reviews on them and needing to get an alignment after replacing them seems like a waste of $ if the axle fails n u need to replace it and get an alignment again at $100 a pop

Very important to TORQUE all the bolts to spec and especially the main CV joint nut.

Never hit the threads without the nut on the ball joint

I want to be like Scotty when I grow up

Hello please help me with this question. Can a cv axle cause a transmission to slip? I changed one side and I'm about to change the other they were both bad. I have 1 new axel and 1 old broke axle at the moment until next week

So this is what's wrong with my Toyota and my mechanic said idk how you made it here...

“Grab a big hammer and whack it off.” New tshirt for Scotty!

The clip of the horse when you laughed was right on 🤣

Can these cause a wobble as well in low speed ?

Mines came out but the tip was rusty on the transmission side. Does that mean my transmission fluid or diff is bad?

Are left and right drive shaft the same length?

You would need to do alignment as you removed the struct nuts. Better remove the ball joint nuts & bolt instead.

Don’t forget about the Wheel alignment
