CVJ reboot - heat the inside out boot in boiling water

Featured Replies

Just rebooted the left CVJ on our 98 Legacy. The USRM item by Ed was extremely helpful - made the job quite simple. I didn't have a boot stretching tool so here's a suggestion to add to the suggestion about turning the boot inside out (can't remember the name of the gent who shared that idea) and pulling it over the joint. I cut a plastic funnel to use as an expansion cone and fit it over the axle stub and sprayed it with white grease. I put the inside-out boot in boiling water for a minute then sprayed the inside of it with white grease and pulled it over the funnel and joint. I was surprised how easy it was. Heating the boot in water was easier and safer than using a propane torch for me. Hope this helps someone else.
