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.
Check rubbers around boot and around rear window[may be perished]if so replace them,also check rear lights for possible leak,sandy
yes
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.
Buy my Scenic Boot Button Fix on ebay Email: renaultscenicbootbuttons@yahoo.com for a replacement scenic boot button.
No .
in my megane it was in the spare wheel housing in the boot.
Don't bother trying to replace a torn boot on a half shaft. It is quicker, easier and cheaper to replace the whole half shaft.
A new lock on hatch door of 2003 Renault megane scenic cost a whopping £126 - supplied and fitted by a local garage in Greenock (colour matched too - dark blue). Try the scrap yards before buying brand new. Looks like this is a common problem amongst megane scenics as we now play a game - spot the missing button and you'd be amazed how often we see megane scenics with a missing lock button.
It's easier and more economical to replace the axle assembly with a rebuilt one.
the outer CV joint is a non-serviceable and non-removable item on the escort and ZX2. If it is bad it will need replacement. to remove the boot and replace it there are two ways to do it. (1) cut the boot off and replace it with a speed boot (a boot split down the length which then gets glued together) (2) either cut the boot off or slide it off. This method will take more work than the speed boot. This will require removal of the complete half axle. You will first have to separate the inner joint and remove that boot as well. Once the joint is separated, the tripod bearing will have to be removed. Once all this is done the new boot for the outer CV joint can be installed. If you do this method, you should also install a new inner boot as well.
Buy a split boot from the parts store- that way you won't have to remove the shaft. As long as you have the half shaft out, why not replace it since there is probably some damage to it from having a damaged boot?
