Can you cut a CV bearing support bracket?
Yes, the first cut was get the inner CV joint (along with the rest of the outer axle) out of the way of that third carrier bearing bolt, one of three that attaches the carrier bracket to the block. And the second cut was to move the carrier bracket away from the locating pins.
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 kind of axle support bracket do I need for a seinna?
On my 2004 FWD Seinna, I used NCV69608 from (at the time) Carquest. The part number is still at Advanced Auto and Amazon. It fit properly on the passenger side, and we have 3+ years and 60K miles of use so far. If you use the method of cutting the old axle, you’d be best to get all the bolts out of the bracket using a ground down (skinny) wrench.
Can a carrier housing be removed from an axle?
As an added bonus, one of the carrier housing bolts is inaccessible when the axle is in place, so the axle and housing can’t be removed as an assembly. I would recommend hitting the bearing with penatrant ahead of time.
