The axle housings serve as mounting points for the front and rear axles and contain the bearing assemblies that support the axles.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO REPLACE CV JOINTS：
-
Prioritise safety precautions by parking the vehicle on a level surface, engaging the parking brake and wearing appropriate safety gear. This includes gloves and safety glasses. Safety should be a top priority throughout the entire process.
-
Utilise the hydraulic jack to lift the front or rear of the vehicle, depending on the axle you’re replacing. Once lifted, secure the vehicle on jack stands to provide a stable working environment.
-
Use the lug wrench to remove the wheel on the side where you’ll be replacing the CV joint and axle.
-
Start by removing the cotter pin from the castle nut on the ball joint. Proceed to loosen and remove the castle nut. Use a pry bar to carefully separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle. Also, check the signs of bad ball joints when disconnecting suspension components.
-
Remove the calliper bolts and hang the calliper out of the way. If necessary, detach the ABS sensor or brake line, ensuring that brake components are appropriately handled during the process.
-
Locate and remove the axle nut using the appropriate socket. This is a crucial step in releasing the CV joint and axle from the wheel hub.
-
Using a pry bar, gently release the CV joint from the car’s transmission or differential. Pull the axle out from the wheel hub, carefully navigating through any obstacles in its path.
-
Insert the new axle into the wheel hub assembly, securing it properly. Pay attention to aligning the splines and push the axle into the transmission or differential, ensuring a snug fit.

CAN I REPLACE THE CV AXLES BY MYSELF?
Yes, it’s possible to replace CV axles yourself if you have the necessary tools and skills. For that, you need to follow proper safety precautions.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REPLACE CV AXLES?
Replacing a single CV axle typically takes about 1.5 to 3 hours. If you’re replacing all four axles, it can take up to 12 hours, factoring in both parts and labour costs. However, replacing only one axle is usually sufficient if needed.In most cases, however, detecting a split boot before joint damage occurs is difficult, necessitating a complete CV joint replacement.
