Hi all,
Kind of pre-empting this one. My genuine cv boot split on the nearside (passenger side) so I replaced it with a stretchy boot which lasted for a couple of hundred miles before getting a hole and split in it due to, what appears to be the boot 'ridges' rubbing together. Anyway, I've replaced it again as it's only cost me the price of the boot but if it goes again, I just want to get a genuine boot but that obviously means taking the CV joint itself off.
How hard is it to do? I know the gearbox oil will need to be drained etc and I've had the driveshaft out of the hub a couple of times now so that won't take long at all.
Thanks
