Okay was putting everything back together today and found a bloody split in one of the cv boots!
Its not big as you can see here -
Can I get away with repairing it with something like a puncture repair kit? Or is it a new boot job?
Ive never changed a cv boot before and really dont want the hastle :annoyed:
What should I do?
Also people whove taken their car apart![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Does this look like the right nut for ball joint?
From what Ive worked out it should be but im not 100%? It looks a bit big? Also it turns the spindle when trying to put it back on with a socket so how can I get around that?
Cheers
