Any tips driveshaft change

[TonyW1985]

Hi I'm new to this site and to the clio scene but got a 172 and love it!! Unfortunately steering felt funny so jacks it up and I found the inner boot on the driveshaft ( off side) us split. So the driveshaft is getting changed as it's easier and quicker than faffing in stretching the new boot on. Any tips advice bout clio driveshaft replacement? Cheers

Remove centre cap
Undo hub bolt 24mm
Jack up
Remove wheel
Undo both shock bolts 21mm
Seperate hub from ball joint
Follow the shaft undo 2 10mm bolts in the middle of the shaft
The hub should pull forward so the shaft comes out then pull it from the gear box its out well done.

Reverse to fit

Thats how i remove them anyway

undo ball joint from bottom arm and you can pull it enough to get the cv out of the hub.
