cv boot quickie

[Amberlamps]

Drivers side outer boot has come off and all the grease has been dumped onto my rim . Is it easy enough to put it back on if the fronts jacked up on axle stands? Just noticed it and have no idea how long its been off so would like to get it done sharpish.

Yeah should think so mate, I done it on an old clio with the jack and some blocks under the car.

You can use a jubilee clip to hold it, I personally use new CV boot clips. You'll need to put more grease in it.

Yeh, was gonna nip to halfrauds and get some grease, not sure they sell the clips so will 60-90mm jubilees fit? The boot looks ok, no splits etc, but was held on with a zip tie ^^.

Cheers guys.

What about cleaning the shaft off, will brake cleaner do?

I've got a jubilee clip holding both mine on.
Very common problem.
​I just used loadsa rags tbh.

If its shot its load & its chewed you may well need a gaitor- not just reclip-
