sasquartch Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Noticed today my n/s inner CV boot has a split in it and is leaking oil. Any one have any idea what's involved in replacing this ? Any how-to guides anywhere ? Quote
CATT Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 Noticed today my n/s inner CV boot has a split in it and is leaking oil. Any one have any idea what's involved in replacing this ? Any how-to guides anywhere ?undo wheel nuts and centre nut, jack car up, slap a axle stand under,take off bottom ball joint( better to take off the 2 bolts with an alum key instead of splitting joint) take off roll bar on the strut of the suspension. pull away strut and disk and you can pull out the drive shaft.. tap off the joint on the out end and tap off the rubber weight. apply the new boot with grease supplied and put a cable tie on.. then bang it all back together.. i have been advised not to use the split boots that you can glue together but i have never used one so cannot comment.. hope this helps Quote
sasquartch Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Posted June 25, 2011 Thanks. I did look at the TIS and it said to remove steering tie-rod - is this strictly necessary ? What holds the CV joints onto the shaft ? I think what you're saying is that the inner one stays put and I slide the new boot along the shaft over the inner joint, then replace the outer joint and re-assemble - is that correct ? Do I need new drive shaft nut ? Any other consuambles needed ? Quote
