Many thanks for the video!
A friendly tip, always open the packaging of any new part and inspect it before you start taking parts off your car!
Don't ask how I learnt that..
Good tip for sure, Thanks for watching!
You know how rare it is that a TH-camr comes back and provides an update?!! Subbed. Freaking awesome that you got four years out of the beast, much more than expected. If only I could find one for my Subaru inner.
Thanks!
The hardest part is getting the screws in and the large clamp tight. Also if you put it on the inner make sure to use permatex gasket marker on the inside axle if your axle has the half circles on it because the boot is completely round & doesn't accpunt for the half circles like a beck akley normal boot does. EDIT: This didn't work! Ended up removing the axle asks putting a new boot.
Just about ready to do the same job with the same product, wondering how your repair is holding up. Some have said these kits last 5 or more years, which is great considering the alternative. Thanks for your video!
Been a year and still looks as good as the day I did the repair. Thanks for asking!
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Bobby Brantley instablaster =)
@Eden Marshall I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Eden Marshall It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out !
Donde puedo comprarla???

Where to buy these items?
I agree! Not sure why they are still unavailable as I too could use another.
No doorman is not one of the worst aftermarket part companies and definitely stay away for anything electrical parts they make unless you want to do it again in 6 weeks
Hi I have a Toyota Tacoma 2003 can I do this on my truck? Looks easy 😆😁
As long as the dimensions are the same. I was only able to find a universal kit when searching for one that would fit the 2003 Tacoma: amzn.to/36g5uz4

Will this pass state vehicle inspection?
I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t.
State inspection, lol daddy state don't worry what the king doesn't know won't hurt him
awesome. thanks 4 update!
Thanks for video. Was wondering how it’s holding up?
Thinking of doing this for my old (1993) Japanese mini trucks. All 4 axel boots are ripped or starting to and I just don’t feel like pulling 4 axels out. This seems like a great alternative when I won’t even drive much on these things.
Holding up well. Think it just started showing some wear about 9 months ago. No grease slinging out or anything like that. Just starting to dry rot some in one of the grooves. Overall I am happy with it still. I think you will be too.
Would a worm gear hose clamp on each end of the boot work ok, like the way we replace crimped factory radiator hose clamps with worm gear clamps?
I'm certain it would work on the small end. However, there may be a clearance issue on the larger end. Make sure you check that it will not hit anything. If you do try it out, let us know ho wit turned out. Thanks for watching!
Would a pressure washer work for cleaning it out?
It might do a good job. Need to make sure to dry it well afterward, I would think.
Remember the days when you had to pack wheel bearings ?
Sure Do! Now you just replace the entire Hub Bearing assembly. th-cam.com/video/kIjzL-zuC2Y/w-d-xo.html
Checking to see how the Speedy Boot repair is doing. I need to do the same to my Silverado. But if not worth it might go another way.
Just looked at the boot. After looking at it real close I am starting to see a worn spot or two that may turn into holes. But no grease slinging out or tears, etc. Overall I have been pleased with it. May go ahead and replace the axle the next time I need to replace the hub bearing on that side. I'll try and do an update video and show the boot with the wear marks I mentioned. Thanks for watching!
Probably what im going to do,i pulled my axles and just bought new ones with boots,they are already cracking, haven't even used the 4 wheel drive,thank you china cost more back aches and time for nothing.
Thank you for the video Mr
I will be doing an inner set of Speedi Boots on my hummer using the rubber cement included. I'm sure it will be fine from what I've seen from others.
Everybody is doing the cv boot by the wheel what about the inner boot is it the same
I'm curious why you say not to use blown air to dry the bearing?....thanks
Mainly for safety reasons as outlined in the instructions that come with the Dorman Speedi-Boot. Be safe!
@@FreeAutoMechanic the only safety issue would be debris flying back at you.
Have you seen strech cv boots? I just installed one and it was super easy, have a look I think it's heaps easer and don't have any split to worry about.
Have not seen them. Look interesting enough.
Looks dumb to me the whole purpose of the one he is using it so you do not, repeat do not have to mess with removing anything at all. If you’re going to go through the trouble of removing everything why use a stretch just use factory boot!
You have to almost be a rocket scientist to figure out how to put on the big clamp provided
Listen, there are many gifted mechanics working a video blog. In my estimation of this very high number of highly qualified service people only a mere fraction have the same innate talent for teaching. Thou have fallen into this fractional zone not because you are a genius teacher bit because thou clearly are just being yourself. I can't tell you how refreshing it is. So do yourself a solid and invest in some recording equipment. The only place where you seem to struggle with keeping it real was when you needed to use both hands to open up the directions. A simple tripod would cure that. I'd be willing to bet you've already done that. Nonetheless, I wanted to encourage you to keep going. Because in my eyes you're Head and Shoulders above many of the others
Thank you for the kind words and inspirational comments. I have since moved to using a tripod and a microphone. Though I am still in the beginning stages I do strive to do better and learn form each experience. Appreciate the feedback and Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the helpful video...I watched it before repairing my own truck
Did the repair go smooth or did that clamp fight you like it did me, lol?
Went smoothly...I've dealt with those before
A lot of flavor on that axle.
Looks more like this is just a tactic which is going to buy you some more time before you need to install a real boot. I could be wrong, but it looks like this replacement part is not going to be holding in the grease the way it should. Temporary fix at best but maybe somebody will prove me wrong.
Still on there from 3 years ago, but boot is starting to crack in spots. May need to be replaced in the future but for now it is still keeping the grease in.
@@FreeAutoMechanic 3 years wow that's pretty impressive, man. Good work!
@@FreeAutoMechanicI heard about spraying some Flex Seal to give it some reinforcement.
I heard that cv axle shaft width is something to consider. Iss. This true?
Have no Idea. And no idea what that would have to do with replacing a CV boot without removing the axle.
what i was thinking was how the boot adapts itself to different axle diameters@@FreeAutoMechanic
Update on how it's still holding up? Anything loose or leaking?
Nothing loose or leaking at this time. Still doing what is was designed to do. Is showing signs of starting to crack inside the grooves of the boot. Has held up well in my opinion.
Where did you get it from, store or online
Here is a link from the description: - Dorman - Help C.V. Joint Bolted Split Boot Kit Front Outer Part# 03609 - Link: amzn.to/3memuie
These split-boots are next to worthless and that is being kind. Just spend the $100.00 +/- dollars for a new CV axle and do the job correctly and be done with it. Buy the necessary tools and such as needed. Buy mid-grade tools at Harbor Freight which are replacement guaranteed should the hand tool(s) fail. It also helps to have a helper for when things get difficult.
If I could find a CV axle for 100 bucks I'd do exactly that. Ones I've seen are closer to 300 now.
At least you didn't get the wrong drive shafts 🤦🤬🤬🤬
What’s difficult about putting one of these on??You make me laugh by saying have a friend ready if too difficult 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where to order that CV boot
I picked mine up at the local Advanced Auto Parts Store. Found it online here: shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-help-cv-joint-bolted-split-boot-kit-front-outer-03609/20830078-p?
Thank you for this.
Glad you found it useful
I would glue and screw.
Not a bad Idea, some of the kits for different vehicles come with glue instead of screws. I wanted to test it out the way it was presented.
@@FreeAutoMechanic I’m a bit concerned it will split, what is the longest this type of repair lasted for you ?
@@TheSchmed the seal or part of the boot with the screws has not shown any wear or concerns for going on 3 years now.
you cant reuse the clamp fool. jesus
What? Is Jesus having trouble with his CV joints? Offer to help. Oh. wait It's Himself who id remarking, OK sorry.
You'd make a horrible instructor/trainer. Zero patience or tolerance. Geezus.
