Re: cv axle boot, FIXED

Nice, I fixed mine yesterday but I also installed a RC 3in and driver side knuckle and I still aint done. 1 day 2 days going on 5 days. I have to order new couplings for the knuckle they were bent to. ill put up some pictures if i dont pass out...... Was it easy to get your wheel bearing back in? The bearing would go half way in the pop back out. It took me half the day to notice the coupling was warped.

Good work Ajastoy! Now you know why these guys who do these write up's deserve so much credit. Doing the job, taking pics, uploading pics, doing the write up is like doing the job 3 times over.

Keep an eye on your boot clamps for the next few weeks to be sure they stay tight and you don't start leaking grease; especially if you're lifted.
