Ok hi fellas I have a inner Lhs split cv boot...
how do I go about replacing it remove the cv of course
and remove the boot can you get replacements??

[fraz91]

You should be able to get replacement boots without too much hassle. You don't have to remove the CV from the diff housing to replace the boot, just the retaining clip that holds the inner bearings in place (easy to find and remove with a flat-head screwdriver). Once that is out, the whole bearing assembly on the CV shaft will slide out of the cup, and you'll be able to clean it up and remove the circlip to get the bearings off the spline. Swap the boots over and replace everything as you pulled it apart, job done.

Thanks frazz what about the steel band clamp? That holds the boot in place

[fraz91]

The steel band clamp can be reused from memory, but it wouldn't hurt to get a pair of new ones when you get the new boot.

you won't pick up a genuine CV for $200 hence the price of a genuine boot

[ag9111]

Thought genuine CV's were around $1200

[coxy47]

how much does reconditioning them cost??

[Mooons]

When Mattstruck broke his a new original was over $1000
I think we picked up the bursons ones for about $180

[Mooons]

And a second hand genuine one from the wreckers was about $250

[viking shippy]

I was asking if there are cheaper non genuine BOOTS that are not crap like the 30$ universal Repco ones

[Mooons]

and i was pointing out why the genuine boots are so expensive
if you flick back to about page 4 there it a comparison on the boots
but no options
unless you want to contact Bursons

[gauci204]

has anyone used Sydney drive shafts for a replacement CV on the triton yet? whilst i haven't had to replace one on my ML yet, they have been very well priced on all the other cars i have replaced them on.

[viking shippy]

Thanks moos And I carnt work out y genuine parts are so overpriced, at a buisness point of view ,,they leave lots of room for the aftermarket guys to under cut by 500%,,, inc the wreckers hmm maybee a good thing,,..??

[Mooons]

Hey skippy the only problem with 2nd hand ones is you don't know how they've been treated
