Wondering why you don't just change the boot, rather than the whole shaft?
You're so lucky to have a spare Peter around when needed.
I never wear gloves when I work on my own car getting greesy is part of the job
Welcome to the Ruptured Boot Club!
I took the locking nuts off mine first time i had trouble with the key showing some wear, but i replaced them with regular nuts the same day.

I believe those C clips are installed so in the factory line they can install the shafts and let them hang while everything's moving along. They don't hold the shaft in (we see what it takes to get it out). I had an instruction sheet for a shaft that said to remove it.
Watching you have to dismantle the steering on cars to get the axle out makes me miss my 1981 VW pickup. The transaxle side of the shafts had a flange instead of a splined shaft. Remove six bolts, wiggle the shaft end down, and slide it out of the hub. So much easier. Loved that little truck.
Many guys coming home from Vietnam were missing Nuts, Physically and Mentally…
Good thing to keep in mind. When brains fail, brute force often prevails
Having watched previous videos I'm surprised you didn't give the CV area a brake cleaner bath prior to it's removal.
No DTC on the muffler…bulb was removed in dash.
Burning up power tools…ehhh?
Every mechanics dream is a car that is designed for matenance.
Damn the phone never rang…doo doo da doo. 🙂
Fabbo ☀️❤️
Wonder if just torn boots could be replaced?
If I've learned anything from your channel it's that I need a prybar. Lol
I have to replace the front passenger side lower control arm, and the strut bracket, my son slid into a tree and cracked both of them. This video will help me a lot. Thanks!
linear impact driver haha
Your like a Surgeon that hates getting blood on him.
Older Libertys had a notorious issue with their power windows due to plastic gears that wore prematurely; to the extent that aftermarket companies sprung up that made metal replacements. Thought that might be the case here.
Introduce Peter to us. God bless extra hands!
Why do you switch out the whole axle if only the boot it torn? Serious question. I'm really interested, because I'm aware that usually only the boots get replaced (as long as the joints are still fine).
For your daily impact and other tools test, check out Torque Test Channel here on the tube. They run every impact known to man (and woman) through a bunch of tests to see how many beans they have.
Taking the wheel locks was the best thing to. Unfortunately the stupid owners never replaced the missing lug nuts. I have never been a fan of locking locks. They always strip out over time even when locking lug nuts were all the rage in the 1970's. I always replace the locking lug nuts on any car or truck I have owned.
I cringed when you started hammering an aluminum knuckle to break the taper on a ball joint….. that's a big no no
Can I buy muffler fluid at the same place that sells blinker fluids?
PETER!!! LOL
Love your channel
Great job Rainman!
I recently had to shade tree mechanic the front struts on my wife’s dodge nitro, same as Jeep Liberty. It was fun watching this video because you made it look so easy! Amazing how having the right tools works so much better!!! LOL
Now I know how to fix the window problem on my liberty🤪. Thank u 🙂
Your lucky, I have a commander and that lower control arms bolt seized in both of mine and I had to cut it out and replace the whole arm on both sides.
Like your style👍
Good job here .
I used to take the lower ball joint off to take the axle out.
Have you seen many Hondas in your shop
Thanks to your fastidiousness, I just bought a box of Viton gloves today.
Your attitude is great because mechanics have a very tough hard job especially pleasing the public. I mechanic for my own and I use bad words cause it releases the tension. Been fixing my own cars since 1959 so I've seen a lot with the automobile changing.
What Sucks about locking lug nuts. When you have a set, without the key, buy a new set. Ask for the old to be removed, replaced with the new set… To find the old & new both on.
Dam FIAT!!!!!
I was so nervous when you left the socket on there.
Hi there
As always, a job well done.
I can see that you have quite a bit of pride in your work as I noticed the lower control arm bolt being the wrong way around, most mechanics would not have put the bolt back the way it came out of the factory and would just have left it that way.
"Every time I touch something I get covered in it…"
Dated a girl like that once xD
What about the missing lug nuts?
I have no idea why a car company feels the need to say a vehicle os trail/offroad rated! I have seen many come into the shop with the entire front suspension/ripped from the frame/uni-body mounts,from hitting a snow bank!
Thumbs up, just, when assembling, why don't you use any grease on bolts and nuts 😊, time is not an issue 😊
You should have done ' Duelling Impact Wrench ' with that lower bolt !
These cars are complete junk. The owners never maintain them either.
When everything seems to be going too easy and you start to have little doubts creep in. Another fine piece of cinematography, self-criticized camera placement not withstanding! Stay safe.
