To replace a drive shaft gaiter on a Citroën, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and the drive shaft from the hub, then detach the old gaiter by cutting it off. Clean the shaft, then slide the new gaiter onto the shaft, applying grease as needed, and secure it with the provided clamps. Finally, reassemble the drive shaft, wheel, and lower the vehicle back to the ground.

In order to replace a Renault Megane Scenic drive shaft gaiter, a boot kit can be purchased. This kit not only includes all needed parts including the required lubrication but also a step by step guide to replace the boot. Installation includes splitting the drive shaft and repacking the bearings so proceed with caution.
Most shaft gaiters are available in a two part kit. The two halves are placed around the shaft and then glued together. I was astounded when my garage replaced a split gaiter in about ten minutes, after I had spend days trying to find a special tool to stretch the gaiter over the end of the shaft !!
Take it to a garage,,,

Tape over the splines on the inner end of the driveshaft, then carefully slide the outer gaiter onto the shaft. pack the joints with the grease supplied in the repair kit. Ease the gaiter over the joint and ensure that the gaiter lips are correctly located in the grooves of the driveshaft and on the joint. With the coupling aligned with driveshaft, lift the lip of the gaiter to equalise air pressure. Fit the large metal retianing clip to the gaiter, remove any slack in the gaiter retaining clip by carefully compressing the raised section of the clip. check that the constant velocity joint moves freely in all directions before proceeding any further To refit the vibration damper when applicable lubricate the driveshaft with a solution of soapy water press or drive the vibration damper along the shaft using a tubular spacer which bears only on the damper inner bush until aligned with the mark made prior to removal. Refit the inner constant velocity joint then refit the driveshaft to the vehicle hope my info helps cheers Gary Australia

To change an offside drive shaft on a Citroën C5 HDi, begin by securely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheel for access. Disconnect the lower ball joint and any components obstructing the drive shaft, then remove the retaining bolts from the gearbox and hub assembly. Carefully pull the drive shaft out of the gearbox and replace it with the new one, ensuring it is properly seated. Reassemble all components in reverse order and check for correct operation before lowering the vehicle.
To replace the drive shaft on a Kia Sorento, first, elevate the vehicle securely and remove the wheels to access the drive shaft. Disconnect the drive shaft from the differential and the transmission by unbolting the retaining bolts. Carefully slide the drive shaft out from its mounts, then install the new drive shaft by reversing the removal process, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reattach the wheels, lower the vehicle, and perform a test drive to ensure proper installation.
