So I'm getting ready to do some work on my 97 Lego 2.2 Brighton. I have new outer boots and ball joints, and I'm picking up the new KYB GR-2s today. The passenger front CV boot is torn and there is grease everywhere, how do I reboot it without pulling the whole thing off, or is that even possible? oh yeah its the outer boot by the way. And any info on doing the struts? it has hardly any rust so that should speed things up a bit. I have a spring compressor but is there anything else I should be aware of when I tackle it? the top hats are fine no cracks or anything wrong with them, is it a basic, pull the old ones and swap with the new deal? I was going to bring it to GD this Friday but we have to go out of town then now instead of Saturday.

you might as well pull the cv axle out especialy if your taking the struts out anyway. strut compressor should be the only special tool needed.
