How to Install a CV Joint

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In these clips we're going to talk about the proper way to remove and replace a front wheel drive vehicle's Ball Joint. In this clip we're going to talk about the proper way to reinstall the vehicle's Constant Velocity Joint and the Ball Joint Stud. Pretty much what we're going to do is just grab a hold of our CV Joint and pull our spindle out and line it up. As you can see, this is the hole we're shooting for. Ok, as you can see, sorry this is a little harder than it looks, is you apply downward pressure and allow the stud to slide up into the mating hole. Once you've done that, you can go ahead and finish seating your Constant Velocity Joint and I'm going to show you a trick here, we're going to get that Ball Joint Stud to pop up inside there. Right there and that is what you're looking for."
