Dub Style 0 Posted March 14, 2005 I gave my brakes a refurb lately and also painted the front hubs by removing them from the car. I had to change a CV boot and decided i'd pack the otherside too with grease. Now during this whole task i managed to lose the clips that come with the cv and on ther other side i had ruined them by removal. So i used cable ties instead but they were very tight. Looked under my car other day and theres Grease all over the place all over the hubs and its same on both sides it seems to be coming from out of the boot.

VR6 0 Posted March 14, 2005 I guess you might have answered your own question .... Replace the cable ties with proper clips :) I guess with the heat, it may cause the cable ties to expand a bit, letting the grease out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 14, 2005 I think you can buy the crimp up type clamps from VW still.... or just buy a really cheap CV boot kit, use the clamps and bin the rest.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
