if you have the kit its only a 30min job.

dont use c.v boots that are split down the side and you glue together they dont last long befor they fall apart.

do u have to take the drive shaft out or do u have to take the cv joint off

You have to take the driveshaft half out, youll have to undo the strut to hub bolts, take the hub nut off and pop the wheel end of the shaft out of the hub. take the old boot off, separating the joint, re-pack with grease, re join and slide the new one on with clips and put it all back together. I think the renault repair kits come with packs of grease.

Ive just realized its the passenger side, be very careful as the driveshaft can pop out dragging the seal with it loosing all your gearbox oil.

anyone know how much this costs to get done?

My drivers side has split closest to the gearbox.
