cv boot kit
Hi guys n gals,
I need to replace all 4 cv boots on my driveshafts. Apparently the push in shafts cannot be taken apart so have to use a cone thingy to fit boot. I
found these very cheap things on the bay of e and wondered if they are worth getting in true locost syle or not. suggestions would be great or if
anyone has 4 cv boots they dont need, beer tokens await...

Yep I've used them on my renault tintop, very handy and easy to use. I got some wax type spray from motor factors. Just follow the instructions
on the listing and it's easy peasy.
You can only use with the special stretchey boots normal boots do not have enough give. Found that they are fairly easy to puncher as thinner than the
normal ones.
Thought they were cheap at 99p but just noticed the 11.95 postage. Obvious blatent getting around the ebay fees

you can take the shafts apart, but you probably need a new tin cover thingy
if your in the motor fators anyway you should ask what a complete pair of exchange shafts would cost - it might not be that bad

What ever you do avoid the sticky boot type jobbies unless it's a bodge to get round MOT. I used them on my tintop (despite advice to the
contrary) and they failed after a couple of months and I ended up replacing the whole CV joint.

Easy enough to use. Just apply lots of silicone spray to the boot and cone. Turn the boot inside out and push over big end first. Then turn it back
the right way out.

I used a company on ebay, Panda-tools for strech type boots.
about £6 each with grease sachet, metal & plastic ties and silicone lube for the applicator
