Re: 1996 CV Boot Replacement Question

In the UK we can buy CV boots that can be fitted without removing the drive

shaft, I don't know how good they are. The problem with doing the boot
only 
is iff any grit etc. has got into the joint, try and clean it thoroughly
and 
replace the grease with one of a similar standard.  If you are just 
replacing the boot I do not think there there is any requirement to
replace 
both boots at the same time, the same is true of the joints if one is OK
and 
the other not. If one boot has split I would have thought the other boot 
will not be far behind and if you can replace them ecomonically it may be 
better to do both.
