Has anyone ever replaced a cv boot on an S15?

[Fruitbooter]

Just wondered how hard it was? or is it easier to buy a second hand shaft and swap it?

My boot split last year but I fixed it up with a puncture repair kit and lots of glue and tape ...has been fine for over a year but has split again and has lost too much grease now so dont want to risk damaging the wheel bearing..

Wondering what the easiest option is?

I've never done a cv boot before but I understand they are a right pain..

Thanks

pretty easy.take the shaft out. pull the old boot out the way. then use a hammer to wack the joint off. simples.

be careful wacking your joint off with a hammer!!

You can get those cone tools that allow you to stretch the boot over the joint (when using the stretchy boots)

Might get one of those to save the hassle..
