Inner Drive shaft CV boot is it hard to change?

[Billy]

Hi my inner CV boot is totaly goosed on my drive shaft 03 clio 172 drivers side.
Is it easy to replace or do I need to get a new drive shaft with gaitor inc?
Is the covered under warranty as I have about 6 weeks left.

Nah, you dont need a new drive shaft, you need to take it off though and buy a new gaitor and some CV grease. Pack the joint with the grease, slide the gaitor over and fit the retaining clip.

Take it straight back to Renault it's covered by warranty, my mate had a new drive shaft under warranty on a 53 plate.

Easy or hard to do?

Don't do it just get a new shafts or else buy the proper tools,but the price of the tools means getting a new shaft is the same price usually plus you've still got to fix it.
