4:38 lol he knew exactly what I was thinking
LMAO! “Quit it!” dirty minds..
Hey Eric I always use tyraps to fasten these boots
Great video thanks a lot man
great video, I did the cv boots on my Saturn, and needed the blue point
tool for the clamps. Everyone looked at me like I was speaking greek, and
no such tool existed. Thanks for the part number.
Excellent video – thanks, Eric! Your tip about just replacing the whole
axle for a few dollars more is a good idea – and no worry about the axle
for a long time.
I got so much experience from you, Real professional.Thanks 4 your VDO show
with clear explain.
I found a simpler solution for a torn boot. I don’t take off the axle just,
just crack it loose from the hub. First, I glob a bunch of grease into the
cracked boot. Then I stretch the thigh section of an old wetsuit over the
old boot and affix it with two coat hanger wires wrapped around and twisted
tight right over each boot band. Lastly i pull the wetsuit into the boot
corrugations with jumbo plastic wire ties just to keep the grease in the
boot. This method made the clicking go away and lasted five years so far on
my f-150.
you are the best man. you told what i needed to hear from the start. thank
you
Way to handle that clamp tool like a real gunslinger…
My CV boot came off and broke my whole damn knuckle on the axle as well.
The entire weight of the car fell upon my tire, pushed my fender and hood
out of place. If you hear a clicking please take your car in immediately!
It was a big headache.
what if its at the rear axle
“Take it, jam it into the joint and squeeze. Till I start seeing it cum all
around out of the circumference of the joint”
my bf said this is what was wrong with my car… but why is my wheel
shaking!?
How do u do this for a 87 Honda accord
We have to help each other. – thanks for sharing.
When Boots are too small to slide over shaft…..put boot in hot water,
which both expands rubber a bit and makes it stretchable enough to slide
over smaller diameter shaft…(where there’s a will there’s a way! 🙂 )
(oh, not applicable to condoms by the way)
Thank you you’re the best.
God bless you man. You are doing a great job with these Videos.
I am about to change the inner boot on my car and now i am better prepared
of what is waiting for me there. Thank you !
Eric: Thanks for the video. Here in WVa we have vehicle safety inspections
and they won’t pass a car with a torn boot, so your video is still
applicable for us. Replacing the axle with a rebuilt one sometimes is a
problem, because incorrect circlips on the inboard side sometimes makes it
nearly impossible to remove the axle. I saw one where they actually ruined
the transaxle trying to get it out.
Very good explainations !!! :)
Hi Eric, many thanks for this video! I replaced my CV Boots on my Suzuki
Swift (a.k.a. Geo Metro) last week with the help of your video. Greetings
from Hungary!
Clamping the boot,..I think a plastic tie wrap be used. Would it be any
problem using a tie wrap?
@ John Zytsev (( If it’s not broke,Don’t Fix it,,)),It will save you a lot
of money,,Example:: If you have only one head light blown out! why change
them both at the same time likw I have seen so many people do…I hope my
advice might save you a few dollars :):):)
,,removing the bad part,ordering the new part & installing the new part so
they can see exactly how the whole process works from beginning to
end:):):) That way they can see with their own eyes what really happens
when they bring their car into the shop for repairs….Thanks Eric!
I really Like you Eric because your video is straight forword and
honest,and so so many people when they have to go to a auto repair shop
they automatically think,,Oh God ! how much money am I going to get ripped
off this time.It’s extremely hard to get rid of that black eye we
professionals got from other gentleman doing just that! ripping off the
public. What I do Is keep the customer with me side by side from Diagnosing
the problem
Great video but how to get that axle out?
Thank you
very goob
Some cars don’t like aftermarket half shafts, Honda comes to mind. You get
a wobble on acceleration…
mind in the g
Once a boot gets to this point, Its sometimes best just to change the
entire CV. Its just such a pain in the arse to do this. I have done this,
and am still riding on the CV, just the boots were $45 and a new CV from
rock auto was only `$100 so really?
You made more work…how is this saving work? lol
Thank you good sir you saved me unessisary work
