How to replace a CV boot with the over-the-joint method 

😂 😂 😂 😂 O

I haven't laughed so hard in years 😂😂😂

It’s funnier if you say it in a female robotic voice!

Lmao

😂

not being a smart ass but sometimes you cannot get the cv joint off the axel. Ive had a lot of them lately and you can beat it till the cows come home and they will not come. I just replace the axel

I agree. This is the most retarded way of doing a cv boot. Absolute mongaloid way of going on.

Greg Cobert The joint itself pulls right apart. No need to beat anything.

Right my 56 year old finger just won’t work like that. Much easier to just separate it.

Not in the UK your not,they are illegal over here.☹️

split boots used here for yrs... they DO work but the reason for all the comments about failure result from contamination of the seams while people are putting it in place ..this leads to early failure as it lets go in the spot if the tiniest bit of oil or grease are present in the seam... trick for lasting results is to have the area Hospital clean and drape clean rags or use newspaper over and around Anything that could possiblly come into contact with the open seams that are already coated with thge glue and ready to be joined..The prep is the hardest part! the other factor for sucess is proper application of the glue and correctly seating the seam.. do trial runs without glue so u know how it goes together..once the glue is applied, ur gonna get One chance to press it together!...u cant pull it apart and try again...alot of factors make this tedious and nerve wracking to do but it Can work and hold up great.

Back when I worked in a transmission shop we did 4 transmissions a day fwd mostly that's 8 times in and out with the boss yelling hurry hurrrrrryyyy all dam day at me lmao so whole transmission R.R about half hour In and out on a lift so huge difference in a lift and yes take the cv out to work on it twice as fast sometimes it's just faster to take them out my old boss would have beaten me for this kind of work

I don't think that was a hole I think it was just some grease, I hope so anyways.

You can pretty clearly see that the surface in the hole isn't moving, and is 99.999% likely to be the CV boot tool. As soon as he started stretching that thing I said "NOPE. NOT DOING THAT."

Holy crap. You can hear it tearing too. That is a hole, you can see it expanding a few seconds before he turns it around. On top of this I don't see them cleaning off some of the old grease. If there is any dirt or debris in the axle then you're gonna have to replace the axle in the near future. I personally can't recommend this method. It's a cutting-corners method. Sometimes its best to take the extra time and do things the right way.

Yup. Definite hole. You can see it actually come around from the left at 7:33. This guys a dumb ass. The boot was reversing it'self as he pushed it off. There was no need to insist that it go onto the axle inside out. If he'd have changed his gloves, wiped the oil off the boot, and applies slow and steady pressure, it would have come off on the axle already right side out.

its like prom night all over again

It takes 10 secs to knock the CV Joint off the Shaft to easily replace the Boot, no need for all this nonsense when you've gone so far as removed almost the whole thing anyway. Silly Video.

i disagree, there is the factory way and then there is the shady mechanic way. if the boot is torn water and dirt has gotten in. the grease is probably tan looking. the shaft should be pulled and cleaned/disassembled. There are no short cuts in automotive repair. the generic boots are thinner than OEM boots so they can stretch........so do it right the first time OR do it again/ CV joint failure later on.

Paul Gibbons that’s no hole

@@LuxxyHD Yes! at 7:32 you just see the top edge of the white label through the hole as it spins around. Looks like it got torn on edge of the control arm when he put his foot on the cone and pressed everything on the arm then kept forcing the boot

Yeah I just did my axle instead of replacing the boot.. Inner boot = $26, Outer boot = $22. Whole Axle = $68.. Idk how long it has been running with the busted boot and being in rust belt, I did not feel like $48 fix (rebooting) was worth the $20 saving over just replacing the axle all together..

I've replaced the driver side axle 3 times and they all vibrate like the cv joints are bad. I replaced the oem part, not because it was bad or vibrating, but because I had the new part when the rest of the suspension was rebuilt. Now, I want to put the OEM unit back in with new grease and boots. At least it was not vibrating.

​@@hemizon1I'm doing the same. Putting my original axle back with the new boot. These cheap Chinese made crap are crap.

Fair price, you aint been ripped off.

Kenji Brian Kitagawa yes is good way to rip new boot cover!!

Easier just to replace the whole axle.

I'm not doing all that just change the c.v shaft. I changed my c.v shaft without jacking up my truck.

@@onewhoknowsrevenge6807 agreed. gotta take all that shit apart anyways.....

@@onewhoknowsrevenge6807 depends what kind of car is. You know some car will leak gear oil if you remove the driveshaft. And there are special boots for the insert over and cost 7$...wich you can use with a pneumatic tool wich cost 100$ (or this cone).

Not really, all he had to do was take 10 secs to knock off the CV joint, Boot slips on, done....

Totally agree, knock off the cv joint and put on a proper boot, job done!

I had to stop watching it and went straight for the cmments....lol

Only flimsy universal boots will stretch this much. I got a normal boot and this tool and it didn't work.

It doesn't look like an easy job.

I couldn't get the steering rack out of the disc brake.

Steering joint.

well why dont you? its been 2 years, surely your pro by now? come on, the OP surely has read your post and is waiting very patiently for you to show the easiest way without that much mess

Yeah but "drift shaft"? Ffs

I use kevlar gloves like that every day at work they are fine

I do outer boots still on the car, I'm just careful to not pull the shaft while I tap off the joint, a mate or maul grips and cable ties usually work! You can get split CV boots now which glue together, they make sense (although I wouldn't personally install one a non mechanic without specialist tools could use one which is cool) but this, as he's cracked the ball joints anyway I don't get why he wouldn't just pull the joint and clean the greese, inspect the snap ring and all that, this is madness in my eyes......

which one is responsible for oil leak, is it the outter or innner?

@@N.Looping Inner seal has gone if it leaks oil , check transmission oil .

Yike

Bobby Urkevich yea like the medium sized that slip right off

Lmao!😂

Ask for rubber bands next time 🤔

Is there any sound after modify????

@@harishchowdary20 no clicking after I put grease and sealed it with the duck tape

Hahaha

$20 verse $200 plus in most vehicle cases.

Not a big fan of split boots but if I could find one for my vehicle I'd give it a try! Split Boot video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iLrGNU_t83Y.html

@@eltonnoway5692 I've fitted three so far, and if you take your time you and keep your hands clean it's a quick and easy job, that will last as long as a conventional boot.

Ive put 2 split boots. both failed after 1 year. glue stick ok, the rubber is crap.

@@jennychiltoon7130 Then you are not doing it correctly, it needs to very very clean and grease free.

Also, sometimes the inner joint (often a tripode) can be removed more easily, especially if hub attachment a super-complicated 4x4 Locking Assembly or Fully Floating Axle etc.

Nice catch!

lol. indeed. and your comment made my day

Lol very true! and a whole new wardrobe, his clothes are ruined by the excess handling of grease

😂

😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Basketball Ave CV boots cost about $15 as opposed to $200 for a whole axle , its your money though waste it how you want
