[CV Joint Boots]

uh, yeah, didn't think to check the date on that post.

 

funny, but now i have a clunk on the side where i replaced

the inner joint. I'll probably end up doing the outside

one now also. got all greasy for nothing.

[CV Joint Boots]

Here's what i did (but on my 86 GL)

 

I was pretty sure that the outer cv joint was ok

(passenger side, like yours) so i got the $60 rebuilt

axel and pulled the inside joint and boot off of it (had to

cut the boot bands *carefully*.) Did the minimum to get

the inner end of the axel free and pulled off the bad

joint, and slipped on the joint and boot from the rebuilt.

 

just be clean and reuse all the grease. Buy a couple of

aftermarket boot clamps or they say you can use hose

clamps if you can find them narrow enough.

 

Anyway, hold onto your core a while if you're not sure

of the condition of your outer joint. But at $60, it's not

to bad if you have to do it again soon.
