damnsubaru Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 how difficult is it to change the outer boot on the drivers side driveaxle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 you must remove the from the trans stub then remove the inner joint from the axle shaft. Large clip around the inside lip of the cup comes out, then cup slips off the cage. Then small snapring holds the star race to the shaft.....remove it. Then you can slide off the star race. Now you can slide the outer end boot off and slide new one on and clamp. reassemble. PITA in the car. Not so much of the axle is out.

damnsubaru Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 so how is the outer boot, the one by the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The boots are pretty much the same. You have to disassemble the inner joint to get the outer boot on / off, as described above. Once everything is apart, clean thoroughly, re grease and assemble with new boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 so how is the outer boot, the one by the wheel? the axle comes apart from the inner end. You can't properly do just the outer boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
