A CV boot is found on the axle of a vehicle. To replace the outer boot remove the axle bolt and pull the boot off. The inner boot requires removal of the whole axle.
if you mean inner cv joint , the boot can rip causing premature failure, but the normal life expectancy of a cv axle can range from 75000 to 150000 miles depending on car and driver habits, could just have worn out
Change the entire drive shaft. Chances are, if the boot needs to be replaced, the axle will go out because moisture and dirt has contaminated the CV bearings.
remove axle, separate joint inner or outter joint, clean, regrease, and put it back together with a new boot
Lift the vehicle using a jack. Inspect the CV boot for problems. Mark the axle. Separate the CV from the shaft. Remove the CV boot clamps. Use a mallet to knock the CV joint off the shaft. Remove the boot from the CV axle shaft.
In order to dissemble the rear axle on a 2000 Honda TRX 300 first determine if it is inner or outer joint. You then remove the retaining ring behind the boot to access the axle.
due to the age of the vehicle, i would recommend a new(or rebuilt) cv axle. if you are insistant on doing just the boot, cut the outer boot off. next, using a deadblow hammer, tap the outer joint off. of course it would be easier to take the axle out of the vehicle to do so.
There isn't a steering linkage boot, but there are two steering rack boots located underneath the car. To access them raise the vehicle and remove the two front wheels. Remove the lower ball joint, outer tie rod, and inner tie rod. Removing the inner tie rod allows access to the boot. Loosen the clamp and pull off the boot.
If it's a swingaxle Bug, they make a kit with a retrofit boot. You cut the old boot off and bolt the new one together around the axle. An IRS Bug requires a pair of circlip pliers and a CV bolt socket. Take the axle out of the car and remove the circlips from the axle. Knock the axle out of the CVs with a big hammer and a drift punch. Throw the old boots away. Clean and repack the CVs, put the boots on the axle, then the CVs on the axle, then the axle back in the car.
Access is from inside of vehicle under boot carpet below offside rear passenger seat.
The CV joint is the part inside the boot.
Cut the metal ring type clamp off the rubber boot, then slide the axle from the slip joint...use standard hose clamp to reassemble
