Outer CV circlip part number

[Da]

Outer (hub) CV circlip part number needed if possible please for a 182?
Do Renault sell these separately or is it a new boot-kit job?

Oh and the grease, would that come in the kit too?

Cheers!

 

[Henry]

is this the boot tie?
you'd be OK with a suitable zip tie; grease is molybdenum disulphide (or 'moly' for short!) - motorfactors sell it

 

[Da]

Many thanks Henry, yes it's the boot tie that attaches the boot to the hub (essentially).
Doubt Renault will be open tomorrow though thinking about it so I'll have to have a nosey at the local motorfactors.

two cable ties, one next to each other will do it

 

[Da]

Cheers, was thinking last night that I've actually got some metal banding which might do the trick.

Stupid question, but how do I know how much grease to put in?

Oh and this the grease I need?

 

[Jay Payne]

dont fill it up, cant really describe how much is enuff. i tried the metal type cable ties once and they were s**t

 

[Da]

Ok well thanks for the info

Two cable ties wont last 2 seconds on a plastic boot.

jubilee clip works best really, motorfactors should have the proper clips though but you will need the cv boot clip tool to fit it.

you'll never hold it on with a cable tie being a plastic boot they are useless

best fix is to cut the boot off and fit a stretch rubber one with a cone, then secure that with cable ties it'll never come off

the clips renault use are no good to man or beast without the proper tool

best bet is a jubilee clip

Unfortunately, you can't use jubilee clips as the suspension is very close at the top and the clip will hit it.

I've tried zip ties on mine and they did stay in place, but weeped grease.
Using 2 would be even worse.

Using a rubber gaiter is an option, or find somewhere that can fit a crimped steel clip for you.

Good luck.

fixed both of mine with jubilee clips and no problems

also got them from motor factors for £1...

i fitted stainless tie wraps and used that grease you recommended from halfords. It is hard to put the grease in if you dont pull the the boot back but I managable.

These are them

Bandit make them, i have a gun to tighten them but a pair of side cutters may be ok

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Any idea where i can get a gun to tighten them?

Renault sell a kit with new gaitor, grease and 2 clips, last time I looked it was £20. I wouldnt use plastic ties only as a temp fix, especially if you plan on doing track days.
