Gearbox side drive shaft boot...split

Hi

Whats the process to swop these out please....do i have to remove both cv joint ends to get access to the one boot?

Cheers

You could just remove that end although it can be a real headache both removing the joint (which you'll need to) as well as stopping it tipping and the ball bearings dropping out. Joint sometimes needs hammering to get it off. Don't forget the circlip on the end. Personally I'd take whole shaft off, change both boots and clean and repack joints but if you really don't want to do that, just do the one end.

Thanks for the reply

Is the inboard end difficult to get at....
