rip in cv boot

[4X4pathy94]

is there anyway to fix the boot without removing it? like putting new rubber oer it mb, or should i just replace the whole boot?

How long has it been ripped, and has alot of grease leaked? If so its the same amount of work to pull out the whole cv to replace the boot, as it is to replace the whole cv. If its been broken for awhile, and alot of grease has leaked, that allows for dirt and water to get in. and if you dont get it all out, and replace the boot only, then your going to wind up replacing the whole cv again later down the road. Id reccomend manning up the extra money for a remanufactured cv, get one from orilleys they come with a lifetime warranty, so if it happens again its free!

Temp fix is duck tape.

yea i figured as much that i would have to replace it part is $15 so not bank breaker except for labour 2.5 hours. i drove it when it was raining to so it might have to be changed thanks....
