How To Replace CV Shaft Boots - The Complete Guide

their viewers welcome back to the self Mahalo channel as you can tell by the title of the jail it is rebooting your CV shaft are putting a new boot a boot for our Canadian viewers on your CV chef I didn't show the process of getting the CV chef out that's probably bazillion of them on YouTube but once it's out what do you do first of all you have to make sure boots are available why are we why are we rebooting this one because this CV shaft of this vehicle was no longer available in a reasonable amount of time but I could get some boots for it kind of from Napa not sponsor hopefully they're correct the boxes look like they're as old as the car so first thing we have to do is get the clamps off the factory clamps so we'll open that up I'm gonna peel these little guys out there you can just cut them with a cut off feel if you want suit your fancy I'm not sure what holds that outer portion of our joint uh we'll figure that out you lose along either a c-clip or you just whack them off so work on this outer joint first we're usually not too difficult to do now if your boot is been broke for too long and your CV shaft is actually making noise forget about it you're gonna need a different shaft and what you can do there if they don't make yours anymore is just go to the go to the junkyard get one that's good and then remove it the other thing to keep in mind is just because the boot is good and doesn't mean the joint is good I've seen many of shafts clicking and clanging and carrying on and still have a good boobs get a screwdriver pry under this little guy cracked loose here get her off our outer joint and we'll crack a loose from the inner one here slip it on down the shaft this is a messy job just FYI so there's that then we'll have a look-see their outer joint here if it's a snap ring style or it's just kind of whack off saying snap ring so what we'll do is we'll put this in the vise and I'll get a brass punch I'll stick it right here I'll give her one solid black and it should come off and there should be a snap ring on the shaft itself typically run over and do that I'm not gonna take the camera but long story short clamp this in the vise brass punch give it a whack off it'll come so I didn't finish driving it off all the way I did crack loose in there in the vise it's usually just overcoming that snap initial snap the snap ring here we may pose amateur hour doesn't it tada there's a snap ring right there it's seen better days it's stuck in the groove partially a way around I believe our kit comes with a new snap ring so no worries so here's our inner choice now you got to go clean this thing up didn't give your balls a good look make sure they're not chowder DUP like I say this one had no no noise no complaint so I don't really expect to see much I'm gonna go throw it in the parts washer you may have to use some other type of parts cleaner gasoline some other cool clean it out seven or eight cans of brake parts cleaner perhaps but you just got to get the goo out of it and then we're gonna see if we can't give this snap ring off this is really stuck down in the groove here there it is now she's all loosey-goosey and we will save that just in case someone who got this wrong this one's a pretty stretch still it's gonna be a pain in the who to put that guy we have to use it so we'll save that we'll pull our boot off let's see we just got to remember which side the outside in case they have the same splines dude but I see the inner shaft has this little extra little dingdong around there so we're cleaning up this whole mess it's a side worked off how's your painting going ready breeds painting some new shelves over there Josh's next door throwing parts it sounds like I don't think I've ever seen him throw anything that's jewelry I have a chair of like demeanor I'm very calm what you chuckle like that it might not be true most of the time 80% of the time every time you do that's your tire they've got a lot of things sensitive issues yes it's gonna stick his leather boy script like hands tell my kids when I've burned myself and pick up something ha they're like oh that didn't burn you and like you can't burn leather boy actually I'm crying on the inside cause it hurt so bad but keep your cool riding kids you know there's that 211 that is full of muddy looking his substance so we will save that all right now on the end of this there is a snap ring and then you could pull this off if you chose to do so which we don't have to because we're gonna unbootable and better the glob better the job that's how they say we'll wipe this off make sure that these are held on with some kind of retaining device and they are so we're gonna leave this just as it is we don't have to worry about our bearings falling out I'm gonna go clean all this up in the parts washer clean up my masks my tools everything included then when I come back and reboot it boom it is all cleaned we cleaned the shaft we checked the balls everything looks good I don't see any pitting or anything on the races all the bearings feel smooth that on the end there folks is the snap ring I was telling you about if you wanted to you know remove this from the shaft we have to change it for any reason like that inner cup here here comes a tornado or the noon whistle is lunch time there's inside of our cup which looks gorgeous needs to fit together like this I've done any video on TV chefs and why they make noise we tore apart before a pork retort part a noisy one so if you're interested in that now we're gonna slip this boo down I'm gonna go all the way down to our groove where it's going to be permanently we probably should have checked to see if it fit first now you're doing it well it doesn't matter to me what kind of car we're working at this is the Dodge Stealth this is right we already bought the farm here folks better be right think they're not sponsor sometimes they are a little stretchy you gotta you know work it girl chief you right please be right let's be right find the old one nasty let's make seem smaller of course they want to be stretched from time old father time let's just see here let's see how it clicks small crack biscuit okay that's click in the guru okay we're gonna unclick it from the picker okay alright so there are grooves in it it's going to sit up on this group that group Oh calm down fella come back down to chef you know what do the grease for the Mitsubishi here that's just to Aiden installing this you can use some of the CB blue previous but I don't have it open yet so there we are there's that actually did send us plants and they did the hero versus style so your plan to look like that will fit there now this outer one has lots of adjustment in it okay so we should be golden we've got the bag of goo put some of it in our tool up here now you can buy this grease I believe I bought this in the past for a pop boot kit they do not come with grease I believe Bella lean makes a little or a powder or something you can buy this stuff see the axle grease smooth around here pack some of it down in our needles here a little bit if we can mmm yummy [Music] and we want to get the rest of the grease from our package lifehack right here with that feller wide appointment Murray and he had to take it back six times let me tell you brought it back slowly and then finally the last time we had it they had it for ten days in terms of $3,200 this is still decoy problem solved no but they did my time about my water pump which only had 30,000 miles on it and they told me that they were gonna be good for thousand why haven't that last time so hungry we don't want this guy round there it took all his money that wasn't included oh good and check engine light on [Music] [Music] did he say for how long it runs rough we talk Thank You seconds yeah okay gotcha John Murray yeah was a good storytelling did he have a voice like Morgan Freeman so this story really stuck out to you you don't you don't know Morgan Freeman st perhaps we have Murray we've talked about a lot of people that you have no idea were there I'm gonna give you a movie references because like these probably understand any of them so there's that there's our inner joint we're gonna psyche look swish all the grease around in there you can hear it alright so there's that and then we can put our clamps on it now these are a universal stock clamp notice they've come with a new snap ring like it's gonna go on the very end on the tripod of balls and that it came with a new snap ring for going in the transmission my suggestion is if it came out of the trainee fine don't mess with it alright not a huge fan of these Universal ones you always wonder like how much play do I leave in it I'm thinking about that much now the inner one is also universal that one has a lot more play in it hmm come with directions wow that is way too much for me to read oh here pictures that's what we want all right well doesn't really tell us much worst part is you screw this up then what then what you do fella that's too loose we're gonna go basically as tight as we can get it by hand without forcing it we'll make sure there is no reason that we cannot install this this up on all the way around it looks great we give her a little squeeze make sure everything is still good we do the same amount of her exposed all the way around and I will give it full beans the full beans have been administered alright this one here we're gonna try to take this up wonderful match off the vehicle because these ones are pretty snug just look that little guy back good Syrian frame and for our OCD viewers we will line up the notches for the clamp groove I do I take all my viewers into consideration right give that a good squeeze and there we are one rebooted CV shaft feels good now let's find the other boot done here's the other boot alright there's that that's so Universal a couple couple options on these ones do not forget to stick that out first rule number one rule number two is take it back off make sure it fits the okay we're got to slide this little guy's toothpaste lube up our wheat plant that's on slip it down in the groove go a little bit beyond where you have to go now this came off harder than normal typically when you whack them with the breast punch and get them past the snap ring they're easy Boop oh they come so before I put the snap ring on I just want to see there's some issue there I do Marie I missed something please and all healthy one zero calories or my usual so that goes on a little bit past the groove gets a little stiff but it does start so we'll keep that in mind in case we have to give it the old tap and tap together on is this one cool with that this that's my setup let's stick this on with minimum stretching let's go right through my finger there's that side over that side there's that side oh no peace no snug as a bug in a rug let me get some player squeezing apparatuses dad guess these at work I just want to give that ring a little squeeze that's a little hug make sure it's gonna go in the groove I don't like the way they trim the end of it that side goes in the side it's not super friendly nope you'd be beating your brains out on that so what we have to do now without stretching it too much it's getting back off right the trim kind of file on the end of this a little bit right so what you got to do Eric I'm just trying in a different spot of the group should be the same all the way around grooves always the same no no no not always fella went in there clicked in there so we should be good I lied let's thing it's gonna be a fighter I could play right now all right where's Micah nice all right let's grease up our joint a little bit not in there all right so it's packed on the back side of those balls all right okay a lot of grease down in there my finger all right let's see how this goes you know what I want to clean off around where the snap ring goes this thing is just barely tapered as far as starting snap ring so we're gonna have to really pay close attention to it to make sure it's not wanting to just kick it right back off and give you the false sensation that you did a job well even though you didn't so we will get that lined up okay it is lined up let me grab the axle nut so I can work on the style axle shaft with the four holes in it for the cotter pin they crushed very easily so I'll go just smacking on it okay they always get overwhelmed yeah did you have a sense of overwhelming multitasking they're good ladies down there my favorite ones Jessica really she can usually handle yourself little fella you're not gonna get along here are we I really like the other style about a bing bada boom I love this style it goes right in before you'd be done is there any reason you cannot go on we got the boot we got the clamp ask yourself these questions you're important now we want to whack it the rest of the way clips in there take our nut back up we close that door please right no where's my socket all right we're gonna leave it on there for the moment you get our bag of grease I think you guys are in freedom okay you're like a free spirit man spread your wings Marie be free oh you know where that quotes from right only the best movie ever in the world and also my favorite movie Cars Disney Pixar guess you guys didn't know that that is my favorite movie of all times there's there's so much good stuff in that movie agree I've worked out and had to buy a new blu-ray yes ma'am cuz I'm old school girl because I don't come out VHS do you even know what VHS is ah be kind please your line yeah do you remember going to the pepper go that movie sort of rent a VHS or beta disc you probably remember all the free ones yes the only free ones you get at the movie storing more exercise videos so right here your fat slob you can have this for free and the kids movies back when the family video was still open their best before they went bankrupt probably from giving away free movies I don't know plus who nobody rents movies anymore [Music] you're 12 and they let you rent one yeah wasn't a naughty movie was it wasn't a naughty movie with Bambi you rented Bambi you freaking kidding me such a sad story yeah but Bambi didn't get killed if you see a dead baccala etc you should think damn because then Bambi's dad get whacked or what is mine okay whatever dude damn you what wow they really didn't give us much room on this one folks oh you can see the struggle here is I'm trying to carry on a conversation no hooking this up mother-lovin some oh come on alright skip that one no we can't skip it we got a persevere what the I know I think I just came up with a diabolical plan take over the world and rule Gotham or do this watch this Legolas I just saw the psalm Oh stick this in here push against that tab what I think that's gonna work if it doesn't I'll just delete this part of the video give her the old spread 'true boom eat it CV shaft jeez all right now we have to line this up or OCD viewers you come a little scooter all right there we go and how are gonna give this to squeeze make sure yeah well you know what you save any I'm not paying em Riyaz is that one oh geez Wow CV boot [Music] what's weird on the street me yeah pothole you're gonna need to put bigger tires on your scooter there yeah they're supposed to have a full thing I've done in 2/10 right what month did you ask him what month yeah exactly yeah that's get off dude there we're done hallelujah well that's that folks rebooting you're gonna be chef now typically you don't have to fiddle that much other things that you may run into besides the issues that I ran into the classic snapping issue the undersized clamp issue is a different style clamp they do have this band style that you have to have a special tool to wind up it's just one from nap or not a sponsor what the part number is anything spray on here somewhere there it is there's the number on that now this is for the windup style one switch I really don't like them it's similar to the ones that we took off the factory ones they're the wind up and a hammer the sides over so there's that so if you're buying a boot kit make sure you know which style bands that come with these ones are the easier ones to do I've seen people have their habit where they're gonna use a pair of side dikes to get under there and give it the squeeze that usually squeezes them crooked and if your dikes are good it'll cut them in half let's see if this but this is the CV boot - I cannot remember the proper name for those style clamps but I call CB boot style clamps I can't remember will be 50 comments in the comment section saying which type they are so if wanted to see that I'll try to put links to these types of tools these are the only two I've ever ran across on a CV boots and that's that folks I'm gonna keep motor and you motor on down there to that comment section leave a comment question criticism or concern you may have subscribe ring that Bell and just remember viewers if I can do it you can do it thanks for watching [Music]
