Doing an oil change on the daughters Mk1 , noted that the CV boots are getting to end of life. Can I just undo the lower wishbone, cut the old boot off and then split the CV off the splined shaft and swop it, or do I have to unbolt and remove the shaft from the car?

 

No one done any then? I have 3 weeks before shes back from uni with it to suss it out !

 

Few ideas here: http://www.talkford.com/topic/162169...t-replacement/

 

Thats great. Doesnt look too hard. Will probably do the inners as well as the outers.

 

i did mine by undo the driveshaft nut then removing the balljoint (becareful not to split the rubber, as mine had been replaced a few weeks before they were easy to come out)
then i bought a stretchable one so u dont have to take the cv apart, then use an old bottle top to slide it over
yes i would d the inners to
