cv boot renewal

[dubnut 10]

Hello all.

Just.picked up some new .cv boots and was wondering

what's the easiest / how to fit them

any help greatly appreciated

Undo your hub nut... Should be 30mm - replace this after removing as they're single use.

 

Undo the 3 13mm bolts on the bottom of the lower ball joint

 

You should now be able to separate the driveshaft from the cv joint.

 

Remove the 2 clamps from the cvboot and it should now slide off

id not upset the 3x ball joint bolts , seperate it at the pinch bolt and it wont effect the camber then

 

if you do decided to move the 3 bolts , mark it carefully to ensure it goes back exactly right

Pinch bolt ?? which is where

I don't have a Corrado so I'm not sure if this way will work.

 

Cut off the old boot, attach mole grips into recess in drive-shaft, tap the shaft inwards using the grips as a contact point (that's if they have the little compressable c-clips holding the shaft to CV? to just free the shaft, the inner joint has room to take it.

 

Remove the two bottom strut bolts, pull hub outwards from the top, fit new boot over shaft, pop the shaft back in the CV, replace strut bolts, tap shaft fully back into position, fit CV boot clips.

 

You may have to remove the brake to get a good angle for tapping the shaft free?

 

How does that sound? it works perfectly on my Micra
