Changing CV boot on EP82 GT

[Johnboy GT]

Morning

Looking for someone to tell me the easiest way to change my CV boots. Where is best to split the drive shaft and any problems I am likely to incur.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is one of the last few jobs on a dwindling mot list.

Cheers

John

It's pretty straight forward

Wheels off

safety pin and cap off

undo the hub nut with a breaker bar

pull driveshaft out from inner side of the hub

now you can change over boots

take old ones off, new ones on with plenty high velocity grease

I don't use the metal securing clips that come with the boot kits, i find that a good wide cable tie works better.

Take the shaft off as above. Little circlip on the inner bearings, undo that and they slide off. You can then change the boots without stretching them over the cv joints etc.

That's what I was after!
