cv boot replacement

[nick1716]

are cv boots very difficult to replace?

[88pathoffroad]

Well, you have to remove the axle, which involves removing many other parts first...

Inside or outside boots??

 

Shouldn't realy matter as you might as well replace both.

 

You'll have to pop the drive shaft(s) out, remove one CV joint per axle, clean CV joints, apply new greese, install new boots, reinstall the removed CV joints, reinstall drive shafts.

I sometimes go one step further and put the CV joints that were on the left side onto the right side and vice versa(just the CV joints not the shafts).

 

Arm yourself with a BFH to help with stubborn ball joints. sly
