    Billy (triathlete) you are the man!!!!!

    Just got done doing this CV boot replacement on the drivers side today. I completely took my time and checked everything 100 times and it still only took under 3 hours. What a great write up and what a money saver!!!!! I really enjoy getting stuff done..... Thanks Billy this helped so so much, you don't even know. Saved me $400 this holiday season, and the VX is back on the road

    Thumbs up

    I bumped this TTT for the obvious reason of convenient access, since this is my project today.

    But also to say Thanks again to Billy, for taking the time to document this procedure.

    I don't have nearly enough patience to put the wrenches & rags down, clean up my hands & take a few clicks, once I get up to my elbows in grease, bearings & what have you...

    Once again, Billy, I salute You!

    Yeah, I remember this thread from a long time ago. I forgot about it entirely. This is very good. I need to find a way to make color print outs of it. I know someday I will end up doing this fix...

    Thanks Billy!

    I made a pdf of Billy's 'how2'. It is great having a disposable paper copy outside with you.

    I can't figure out how to post it but if you PM me your email, I'll send it.

    Better yet, someone PM me some 'posting for dummies' & I'll put it where all can get it.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    Good show, Tom, PM sent. You know, there is probably a way to post it on here in the how-to section.

    I'm sure there is but I couldn't figure it out in 12 seconds so I gave up.

    Lots of gloves! Clean hands are just a gove change away!

    It's the area from where the gloves would end,(if I had any) up to about mid bicep that also seems to get a bit...ummm "tainted".
