How to fix a Split CV Boot!

33 Comments

1. What DIY mechanical projects do you want to learn about?

2. I spent all that money, usd$29.00 for a torque wrench and now I find out that I can torque ALL the bolts to "a grunt and a half"!!😖😂

3. All ways a Great Video, Just remember Don't hit the thread end of anything unless using a soft headed hammer or putting the nut back on loosely and hit the nut.

4. If the drive shaft and hub are tightly joined, any idea to move that?

5. Replacing and fixing are TOTALLY different things

6. Thanks for your video i was stucked.

7. The best CV fix I just recently used on my ripped cv boot was loctite ultragel control, I didn't have to remove the cv axle. Make sure to clean the grease mess and apply the loctite ultragel control. It's only $5.

8. No waffle alright and you are the ONLY guy to stress double support under the vehicle when jacked up. I know the steering knuckle usually only needed but lower ball joint open as you did makes it SO much easier and that screw tool is the way to go, I hate bashing the arm. As for the boot replacement you will know about the boot funnel. After I saw the local brake shop guy slip on two new boots like in 2 minutes each and clamp up strap with that proper tool you have, I was sold to pay for this bit as it saves knuckle removal and all that existing grease is still actually OK. Thanks for great video.

9. How to repair steering rack

10. My boot is ripped but it makes a clicking noise. What does that mean?

11. For 69.95 you can buy a reman axle why waste your time

12. Another reason why I dislike front wheel drive vehicles. There’s nothing wrong with rear wheel drive vehicles.

13. Great video,very helpful !!

14. – lol, "encourage it with a hammer" – best to encourage everyone to use a mallet – rubber (as did you) or deadblow (plastic) preferably, lastly if you don't have one a block of wood softens potentially damaging "hammer blows".

    for the few $$ (a few hundred to be sure) – if the car has "quite a few miles" one mayaswell replace the CVs and shafts (or at least really degrease the the old grease – and any grit that may have entered the split) – throw a locker in the diff and be good to go for the life of the vehicle.. lol… (a mechanic mate over to share a slab on Saturday may be a good home garage addition if doing diff work)

15. Thanks for a very comprehensive video !!!!!

16. Way to much work bro. Crawl under neith it put on slide over boot done.smh.,😂🇺🇲✌️💪👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

17. Well that was a mess I had to change out two boots thanx to your advise.

18. You're legend.

19. Brake cleaner evaporates too quickly.

20. Omg omg

21. Or put screw driver in the vent of the disc so it cant rotate hahah… you guys must make loads in labour charges hahah

22. Far over excessive but done well. Just disconnect bottom ball joint will allow you to undo hub nut and pull drive shaft away from the hub

23. I've never seen anyone screw so fast.
    unbelievable 🤣😂🤣

24. You had to ur that tie rod tool to pop tie rod out how did you get it back in?

25. Well explained with very good camera angles explanation and a splash of humour. Thank you for sharing 👍😎

26. Very good job, I learned a lot about mechanics. But before changing the boots I have to cut my beard a bit, in case it gets stuck to the brakes or the screws hahaha 😂

27. looks like you changed the wrong boot…

28. Ive always just bought a new axle! It's only $60 more than the new boots from Toyota

29. what’s the cost difference? Replacement vs rebooting?
    Longevity?

30. you don't bang on shaft directly with that heavy weight hammer 7:30
    put the nut back on it so you ruin the thread on shaft!! back yard mechanic😁
    and don't know and understand why there is a need to torque and not over or under torque the ball joint😁

31. My now sold Honda Accord 6sp coupe was always bending its axles. That car had a bit of power.

32. If I repaired my outer boot like this will it stop my wheel from wobbling.

33. Great video with all the info I needed to replace my CV Boot.
    Appreciate the detailed start to finish procedure!
