brill, I have a 207 diesel, its got a clicky CV joint and looking at mot history its the same side that had a split boot a couple of years before I got the car. I was worried it might be really hard to get the joint off the shaft but it looked in your video, quite easy. I think i am more happy to buy a new joint now instead of a whole shaft.
Good video, Tim! I know someone will find this very useful when they have to do this job. I watch a lot of these types of videos and yours is right up at the top in terms of production quality. You certainly could go pro if you wanted to. I'm not sure you'd ever get rich at it, but you certainly have both the mechanical skills and video production skills to make top notch auto repair videos!
Thanks Greg I thought I would do some of these type of videos as and when I have little jobs to sort out. This is my Son in law’s (to be) van and it failed the MOT Test on a few little items so I offered to help him out and repair it. Thanks for watching Best Wishes 😊👍
Great video, straight to the point! Do you use all the grease that comes with the kit, or do you only apply the amount shown in the video, and discard the rest? I've done a CV boot replacement before (1995 Astra Estate), filled the joint with grease (pretty much like you did) and squirted the leftover grease inside the boot. A year has passed, and while the boot doesn't have tears, and the clips are still in place (and tight, might I add), some (much) of the grease came off the boot (due to centrifugal forces) where the boot meets the CV joint. Am I just not supposed to use all the grease? Some videos show the leftover grease being used to fill the boot, some do not. Best regards, Nuno
Hi The boot had been loose and leaking for a little while, the boot had gone soft and baggy and would no longer fit nicely back on the joint Best Wishes Tim
It’s good practice to do so but this was just a quick case of getting the car done for a relative so the car could be re tested for the MOT If he was planning on keep the car I would have done so Best wishes Tim
Thanks Phil With cars there is always something that can go wrong of be a bit off a struggle, I think my biggest problem with this job was the weather it was raining the whole time and got really heavy when I was half way through 🙁 Best Wishes 😊👍
Hi Ginny No I don’t but I have worked in a few over the years, I have been in the motor trade all my working life . Hope you get the repair sorted it’s not a bad job to do really ! Best Wishes Tim
Hello Tim, is the cv boot supposed to move over the joint when turning, no matter how tight i get it the rubber boot seem to be sliding over the joint when i turn the steering.
Hello friend. If i remove all the driveshaft the the fluid came out much or littlebit and dose the fluid is the same of automatic transmission ?. Thanks in advince .😊
If you move the driveshaft completely from the transmission the fluid will come out. Manual transmission oil is completely different to Automatic transmission oil. If you are replacing an out driveshaft joint or gaiter as in this video then the driveshaft doesn’t need to be removed from the transmission

Not a bad job to do really, best of luck.
I’m sure you will manage it no probs 😊👍

hi tim, why did you have to replace the boot if it isnt split, why not just pump more grease in and seal it up
Hi
The boot had been loose and leaking for a little while, the boot had gone soft and baggy and would no longer fit nicely back on the joint

I wish you had washed out the old grease as it will inevitably contain grit which will shorten the life of the cv joint.
It’s good practice to do so but this was just a quick case of getting the car done for a relative so the car could be re tested for the MOT
If he was planning on keep the car I would have done so
Best wishes

If grit or water in the joint the joint is already history
Don’t know if I dare give it a go 😱
Definitely go for it , it’s not too bad to fix
@@minortinkering mines a 2010 petrol is it the same as yours??
I like it,something different 👌
Dome CV boots before and they can be a sod sometimes
Thanks Phil

He could learn a thing or 2 😂
@@itsmephil2255 Thanks mate 🤣🤣
axle nut was 30mm and wheel bolts 17mm AF. The brake calliper holder torx bolts are a bugger to get off, ended up using an impact driver.
Great job. I too work on my driveway.
Great job. Thanks for that. 👍
Stretch boot and proper stretcher tool makes it a lot faster
They certainly do
wow, thanks - do you have your own grage? this is exactly what I need to happen to my car :)
