Drive shaft rubber books
Does anyone know where I can purchase some flexible rubber boots to go over the CV joints on sierra drive shafts? I have seen somewhere you can get
expanding ones which with the use of a cone can be fitted without a strip down.
Thanks

Various threads on this concluded that the most reliable method of re-booting was to do it the proper way... boots available from Ford £13 a pair IIRC
you need 2 pairs (4) one for either side. They come in a kit with new clips and stuff.

Using a cone is no problem but not all Sierra joints can be done this way it depends on which shafts you have you do have to use decent quality
stretch boots ie QH ones. The boots need to be well lubricated -- I used olive oil. They also need to by warmed as the rubber polymer material
gets hard in the cold so this time of year might not be the ideal time to do it
this link for cones at a decent price http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/ but don't buy the boots from them the quality ain't great.
