Anyone know how long it should take to put on new front axles? (replacing because of CV joints).

thanks,

Does this seriously need a new thread? I would post the question here... http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....365289&page=87 and delete this thread to save from some flamming that you might receive.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

if it takes you more then two hours, put the tools down, call a tow truck and pay some to do it and don't try to do the work yourself anymore

It took me 45 minutes the last time but thats because I was on the phone alot and had to eat lunch

 

if your doing the driver not to long with the right tools. The passenger one can be a major pita if the bracket is stuck, which it probably is.

 

I takes me about 15 mins per side average.

I can do it in 10 mins if I wanted to.

 

yea i would say an hour for a greenie

 

Thanks,

Have several shops telling me that its about 2 hours per.

 

20-30 mins max

 

Excluding jacking the car up, yes this is true. But I have to use the scissor jack to jack up one side in order to fit my floor jack underneath my car, so it takes a little time....

And everyone saying to start a new thread, . Get over it. It's a flipping forum not a database, and if someone has a question this is where they come.

 

You read my mind

 

Going to tackle my new raxle axles next week... ill report back with how long it took me... then again i have a lift and all power tools..hehe

 

yea if they're walkin around jackin off. it took my mechanic about 15 mins

 

do you think you could have a little how to when you do it? pics of problems that you ran into?? i'd really appreciate it. I plan on doing this soon and I'll throw a few of bucks your way for a good write up w/ Pics. thanks!

Best write-up available.

 

about an hour

 

well we know obviously why.

 

if your taking the whole axle out, make sure u have a catch bucket under your tranny because the fluid will leak out and it smells horrible and makes a mess. also make sure you have some fluid to fill her back up with. not sure if this is a problem for auto's, but deff for a manual.
