How do you change the CV Boot on a 2002 Ford Focus?
Consider replacing the axle with a rebuilt unit. When the boot is torn, contaminants enter the joint and quickly destroy it. It is very labor intensive to replace the boot vs an axle which is a do-it-yourself job. In my shop we used to replace boots but because of high incident of joint failure customers were understandably upset. The boot has a life and so does the joint; once the boot tears ,the joint is not far behind. Why do the job twice?

How do you get the outer cv joint off of the shaft to replace the boot on a 2002 ford escort zx2 auto trans?
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.

Don't bother, just replace the entire axle. Once the boot is damaged, the CV joint is contaminated and it will not last very long. It's just an exercise in futility to replace the boot, and the effort is almost as great as if you replaced the entire half-shaft axle.
