Clio 172 Phase 2
Hey everyone
I hope to get round to changing my OS inner CV boot this weekend, but after having read a few threads about the job, I'm a little confused.
Many people are saying you need a new shaft as you can't knock the CV joint off to replace the boot? But then I've also seen in the guide section a really detailed picture guide on how to remove it, which involves a hammer . I've got a replacement boot ready to go on, but I'm unsure if it's best to remove the shaft completely, then try and remove the 3 roller bearings, or knock the CV joint off, which would you guys suggest?
Also with it being the driver's side, will I lose any gearbox oil?
Thanks for your time
