CV Options

[CelicaZR]

Hi 6gcers

I think my CV are on their way out.
Its making a clicking noise everytime I turn left.
Its not loud, you can only hear it with the music down.
I was wondering if how easy it is to change or anyone has changed their.
Cause toyota is charging me an arm and leg to change it

Thanks

getting it out might be the toughest part. get yourself a special puller tool. like the one below, it attach to a slide hammer. make sure to drain your tranny fluid first, cause once you take out your axle it'll pour all out. attach the puller to the grove and give it 1 or 2 yanks and it'll come out. after getting your cv axle rebuild or brand new. to install it there is a snap ring at the end of the axle. face the open end down and you should just be able to push it in, might not go in perfect on the first try but make sure the teeth lines up and you should hear a snap when it's in, torque all your nuts to spec is a must! sorry i am typing sloppy, currently eating.
