Title: CV Boot
Post by: Johnny_tro on May 13, 2012, 12:43:31 pm

The out cover has small tare in mine - do you have to remove the drive shaft out the centre of the hub to replace this?

or is it simple job?

I always find it easier and quicker to remove the whole shaft.

Quite and easy fit.  Make sure you go for a genuine boot kit as they are much higher quality.

Is it a diy job? Mine needs doing, what tools will I need?
