CV Boot Driver Side Outer

[Tone]

That is way cool, otherwise it is a PITA with a lot more dissembly required. Good find.

The megatech boots really do work!
Also,
The way I've done it is to undo the lower ball joint, then unband the inner cv boot, pop out the circ-clip and ceran wrap the inner joint's balls and cage. Then slide the new outer boot over the whole thing and into place. When I did mine I just replaced all four boots because I had changed the angle's of the cv joints and the boots were starting to tear.

OK...I am a looser.

I can't get the lower caplier bolt to break free. Upper is fine. Trying to be careful with jacks a floor jack and a socket with breaker-bar. Looks like I can't even get started. wanted to see if the ball joint would let go, but I can't even to to that point (hard part past sticking the CV inside bearing assem. back in).

I need a match and diesel fuel.

you are fighting yourself!!! it is not that hard. leave the brake assembly alone. Leave spindle alone. Leave disc alone. Leave wheel bearing alone.

it will stay all attched to the control arms and just fold out of the way. I left you a message...waiting for you to call me like I told you if you had trouble.

you are jacking up the Tbar to relive pressure to take out the 4 bolts under the lower control arm to allow you to move the Lower ball joint bracket above the lower control arm instead of below it. Then when you lower the the jack the lower control arm will go to full droop allowing you to pull cv shaft out of the side you are working on by lifting up on the lower control arm and pulling the cv shaft out.

Stay calm. It is cake walk. I wish I was there to help out.

Well things did not go as planned and I still have a split CV boot, at least its only an inch.

So I had the idea to ask the local Isuzu dealer how much to repack the front bearings, which turned out to be $160. So I then dropped the other shoe and asked how much more to replace the outer CV boot at the same time, and they put me on hold, then came back and it would be an additional $540!!!? Fricken' you tear down the hub anyway?

I don’t mean this the wrong way - HONEST!
But I'll bet that $120 Boot Kit is sounding better and better, isn’t it?


Trust me; it’s VERY EASY to use
(If I can do it, just about anyone can!)

And with it you'll get absolutely everything you need to do four boots.
