i was wondering how to fix a Nissan Sentra 1996 1.6 c.v boot just some instructions.
How do you replace the CV joints on a 1993 Nissan Sentra XE?"
you cannot just change the boot you will have to replace the whole axle
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.
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.
the boot you can tell with a visual inspection. there should be no tears in the boot. the boot is there to keep grease in and debris out. if the boot is torn and most of the grease is gone you probably should replace the shaft. if you catch it soon enough though you can just replace the boot which is much cheaper.
To replace the CV boot on an Acura Integra, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel. Disconnect the axle from the hub and slide it out of the transmission, then remove the old CV boot clamps and the boot itself. Clean the CV joint, apply new grease, and slide on the new boot. Finally, secure the new boot with clamps, reassemble the axle, and reinstall the wheel.
It is cheaper to replace the CV shaft than it is to replace the boot. If the boot has been torn for any length of time it will have collected dirt and water. That in itself spells disaster.
To replace the CV boot on a Vito van, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel for access. Detach the axle from the wheel hub, then slide off the old CV boot clamp and boot. Clean the joint, apply fresh grease, and position the new CV boot onto the axle. Finally, secure the boot with new clamps, reattach the axle to the hub, and reinstall the wheel.
Most likely it's a CV joint.
It is much cheaper to replace the CV shaft. Purchase a Haynes manual that is specific to your car.
