inner cv boot

[BazV6er]

guys i noticed before taking mine for a mot that the inner driveshaft boot is slightly leaking , is it a case of buying a new boot ,undoing old boot and replacing new boot without taking driveshaft out..or so ive heard,

Baz this thread is over a year old have you been on the drink

Shaft needs to come out the G box Baz.
Not a hard job.

Baz this thread is over a year old, why didnt you just start a new thread
in answer to your question though if its the inner boot the driveshaft needs to come out. its easier taking the driveshaft off to do either of the boots anyway

[v6 steve]

youll need to drop the lower ball joint so you can pull out the shaft then take the boot off find the circlip and pop off the cv joint so you can put new boot on

[BazV6er]

ok sorry guys lol thanks for the help tho

[v6 steve]

have you got it fixed ? do you need any more help mate its not a hard job just a messy one

[BazV6er]

probably sort it next month , take it to a cheap garage i use for my mot , especially as its coming winter

[v6 steve]

could you not have a go at it your self with some help from the guys local to you ?

[BazV6er]

its a doddle to replace the boot Baz and yes its a dirty job but its easy peasy

[vinny_69]

and good set needle nose required for the worst bit the poxy c clip

[Fraz]

its a inner CV boot so it just pulls out from the gear box...or with a wee bit help from a leaver sometimes needed ...just be aware that you will also have gear oil spilling out, so you best have some new stuff ready

[vinny_69]

oh its the inner one i did the old mans corsa while it was still in the gearbox as i couldnt get the bugger out.

[Callyman]

Vinny, on a corsa (and a few other VX's for that matter) You can remove the driveshaft complete from the car with only removing the hub nut.
