drive shaft/cv boot

[vinny_69]

last time me and Tazz removed the d/s drive shaft the boot was weeping nothing special really now its gushing easy enough to replace,but would it be worth it in the long run to replace the drive shaft too?

can you get a spanking new shaft with cv and boot all in ?

one more question can you replace the abs jobbys without replacing the joint?

so i take it they dont go very often then?

had a little looky around and its either 6 squid for a boot or 60 squid each side (shaft,cv and new abs rings)

need to do something to my boot as well mate, the small neck has slipped down and thrown a load od grease on the inside of the wheel arch. Need to get some more grease and and new cable tie and this time put it on tighter.

the kitt i had a look at came with grease boot and the metal thingys i think one shall give em a go the weekend

[Robs-se]

Good luck, can the grease be brought separatly or only in the kits?

[vinny_69]

will let you know later rob as i is going shopping

[Stupink]

you can buy it seperately at most motorfactors, just ask for cv grease.

i know its an old thread but ive only just got round to doing it

replaced my drivers side cv boot saturday easy peasy only problem i have now is my break pedal travels a long long way down till i start slowing,i have no idea why as i never took the caliper off so im just gonna bleed it tomorrow and see if that fixes anything

[Robs-se]

Have now got a tube of grease, how easy will it be to get the grease in with the boot still in place. Thinking of using a pointy thing like from glue tubes and putting it under the end of the boot and squirting in a bit at a time. Anyone any other ideas?
