Is the CV axle pressed into the support bracket?
Hello to All, new to site. Have a 2007 Sienna. CV axle (passenger side) needs to be replaced. Question – is bearing pressed into support bracket? Before I start this project I need to know since I do not own a shop press. I dont think the bearing is pressed into the housing, but it does rust which makes removal difficult.
When do you need a CV axle support bearing?
Durable materials – this axle support bearing is made of quality material for a long-lasting repair Convenient service item – this support bearing may be required when replacing the CV joint or axle Below you can search and find your area locations that sell Dorman Products.
How do you remove a CV axle nut?
Need a 30mm, 12pt deep socket to get the axle nut off. The nut stake is impossible to remove so I just used my HF Earthquake 1/2 impact and wimpy, 85psi compressor to get it off. The axle has to be cut on both sides. There isn’t enough play in the axle shaft to lift the carrier bracket away from the locating pins otherwise.
What to do if a bearing is stuck on a Sienna?
Is the carrier bearing is still stuck at removal, be prepared to cut the axle (torch or grinder) between the transmission and bearing, and using a sledgehammer to drive out the remaining axle. My experience is for a 2004 Sienna (3.3L motor, I think yours is 3.5L motor).
