handiest thing to do is remove the cv joint buddie or you will be their all day tryin to do it should take you 20 mins max to do

you could but thats more hassle removing the inner boot then imo all you need to remove the joint other than a spanner set is a deep 30mm socket and a hammer to knock the joint off slap on the new boot and away with ya

Mmmm ok i hope it is that easy then thanks reped

them things are a load of bollox imo you would be better off removing the joint and doing it more hassle than they are worth.

[madman]

they are a gimmick imo but each to their own or it cudda bein the kit i used

 

[Sheldon]

I would use the cone all day, just cut the old gaiter off.

Turn the new gaiter inside out cover it in anything like oil and washing up liquid also put it on the cone and just slide it on.

So much easier than removing the boot or joint.

 

[stuarty1]

take it all of and stick a new 1 on or cut the old one and get the cv boot that cums in half and cums with glue they dont last tho

I got a cv boot there today how i fitted it was i removed the shaft from the car and put the shaft in a vice it was the outer boot that i had to change so i removed the iner cv joint really easy there is a C clip on the top if the joint hard to see first with all the shit on the joint but clean it off and you will see it. remove the iner joint, iner boot and the fxxked outer boot and that is that really.was so easy and a great day to do it.

or why not use a split boot i have used them in past and not had any problems aslong as there done properly and glued well with no contact of greese they spot on will do perfect untill you got the time and paitance to put a genuine part on so will get the car through test
