excellent video. no need to clutter it up and make it longer with seized up nuts and tight joints.. a mechanic would expect those things as part of the job. I have done a seat Ibiza 1.4tdi CV outer boot . biggest problem was finding a thin wall 36mm socket to remove the driveshaft hub nut. This nut has two shear off tabs which means it is a throw away item . I used a new nut, but Loctite would work if a replacement nut was not available . Those stretchy boots would be fab on a Peugeot 405.
Great idea!!! No way this will work on the hard thermoplastic boots..... But what a quick and easy method to replace flexible rubber cv boots.... Sure would have saved me alot of time flat rating cv boot replacements back in the day :)
@nathansnation A CV boot should be replaced when it is perished, before it splits open and allows road contaminants in. Before our CV tool was available, CV boot replacement was often not cost effective and most boots/joints were left to fail resulting in a higher cost and less environmentally friendly shaft replacements a few months later. By using our CV tool and boots, the life expectancy of a CV joint can be extended considerably. That's good for workshops, customers and our environment.
Speak for yourself, at Audi cv boot replacement is a recommended service and covered under your factory warranty as a wear item. If a manufacturer doesn’t offer cv boot replacement it’s because they don’t want to take the time to do it. The reason most cv boots fail is because people don’t do their maintenance at proper intervals. And if you’re going to show how to do something, do it right. Show how to properly pack a joint with grease, not some little two second squirt that won’t do anything for it. I mean come on.
That guy makes it look easy! No hammering on the ball joint, tie rod end or the splined end of the CV joint! Just remove the nuts and lift it out. That''s a neat tool but what's wrong with pulling the driveshaft out of the transmission, removing the snap ring holding the inner joint to the driveshaft, pulling it off along with the inner boot and installing the outer boot that way? I guess if your a professional mechanic it might save some time. Last CV joint boot I had to replace was the inner boot on my 2003 Subaru. Usually it's the outer boots that bust. Took me about 6 hours. But I loafed around, took multiple Pepsi and smoke breaks, surfed the internet on my garage computer, etc.
Why fuck with all that if you dont need to, everytine you take something out you increase chance of messing something up. This seems like a very easy way of doing cv boots. Wish my local shop had one, tools not worth it to do one or even two at home
You must use STRETCH CV Boots for this tool to work. They are available via our website and we offer free shipping for orders over AUD$300.00 www.stretchcvboot.com
Wouldn't it be so much easier if they developed CV boots that were open and you glued the seam after you slid it over the shaft then let it dry while it was on the car before putting it into position.
+estrelladelnorte1308 I don't think split boots are worth the effort unless you catch the tear very early (before dirt gets in), but the balancing isn't important since the boot is very close to the hub. No different than getting a little mud on your axle... it doesn't affect the balance. Even a little mud on the outside of your rim doesn't really throw off your balance! (Rotational Inertia = 1/2 (Mass)*(Radius^2).
Replacing the boot like this might be a good temporary fix however for someone who maybe could not afford a quality axle. I'd sooner drive around with one of these then a torn boot or a low quality axle.
LMFAO yeah right , a new cv is only about $60 . Anyone who searches for a mechanic can get this done for about $100 which is so close to replacing the boot you have to be stupid to not do it . Anything else is just taking advantage of people by selling them a temporary fix for close to the cost of a real one .
It depends on the car , the brand of cv axle and age of the car. To properly replace a cv axle boot you are supposed to remove the axel , take it apart, clean the old grease , inspect it, replace any worn parts, repack it in grease , assemble , re-install. Anytime your boot is damages the grease inside can and will be contaminated leading to premature failure . The quickest , safest , and smartest approach is to replace the axle.
do you idiots still replace the axle if it cost 600 bucks and the joint is perfectly fine... not everyone drives cheap shitty hondas where the axles are throwaway disposables...
Again , to replace a boot the correct way you need to remove it , clean away all the grease , inspect the bearings , repack in grease , put on the boot , then put it back on the car. This video does not show you the full process of cv servicing and it's cost simply isn't worth it in most cases. The more expensive the car the more expensive the labor , virtually every manufacture recommends replacing the axle not trying to repair it . If your axle loses it's grease the bearings will be ground down and shed metallic particles into the grease causing further breakdown. In short hell yes id replace a $600 axle

I have done this without the special pneumatic tool. I used the cone method. Look it up. Saves a lot of time and labor.

holy crap. this guy can remove axle nuts with his fingers. I wouldn't mess with him.
He is bionic.
Nice video, don't you wish even one vehicle came apart like that. He didn't even have to get out one torch, hammer, or bag of curse words!

Thanks for the upload its good. i have replaced it for my car and charged for £100, is it reasonable or i have overpaid for it.... ..
How did you meticulously clean, inspect and grease the CV joint?.
That guy makes it look easy! No hammering on the ball joint, tie rod end or the splined end of the CV joint! Just remove the nuts and lift it out.

Dam I'd be annoyed if it took 6 hours lol
Great stuff
Now this is the way to do it!
Good deal for a shop, not for a diy
Standard boots will be teared, am I right?
Yes, or they just won't open.
wish i had that much open space when working on the truck!!!
I guess it helps if you have the right tool...
Wher can i buy ...
cool
do I have to get wheel alignment done after that?
Not on my 2005 Accord,,,no alignment adjustment parts touched...I would think as long as you don't touch those parts, you don't need to align
LOL i know the aluminium bag is grease, but it looks like spacefood for a astronaut
what if I drove about 30 feet then parked my car and know that's when my cv boot busted. I ripped it while I was putting wheel hub assembly on.
Does this work on all cv bootsm
You must use STRETCH CV Boots for this tool to work. They are available via our website and we offer free shipping for orders over AUD$300.00 www.stretchcvboot.com
what about the inner boot?
Inner boot can be replaced by placing the boot on the tool in the reverse direction. Small end of boot onto the tool first.
Wouldn't it be so much easier if they developed CV boots that were open and you glued the seam after you slid it over the shaft then let it dry while it was on the car before putting it into position.
they already exist.
Thanks, I found that out after I commented, sounds like a great idea.
i heard they dont really work ,they tear really easy since the shaft spins so fast and those boots are not balanced .
They do exist I have never used them myself however have heard they are not as great an idea as they would seem.
+estrelladelnorte1308 I don't think split boots are worth the effort unless you catch the tear very early (before dirt gets in), but the balancing isn't important since the boot is very close to the hub.

Is it just me, or this tool looks like the size of a basketball??
@JoeCnNd I think you would be safe. lol
You can usually do this job without removing the track rod.
You have to take it off to clean and re grease anyway to do a proper job, so I don’t see the point.
thats cheating! lol
Or you just replace the damn cv axle like any decent mechanic will tell you to .
Replacing the boot like this might be a good temporary fix however for someone who maybe could not afford a quality axle. I'd sooner drive around with one of these then a torn boot or a low quality axle.
