Here are some amazon links to the tool, tool and boot kit, and a cheap tool version from amazon. I make money from purchases of these links. Thank you! $176 tool only: amzn.to/3XBYXZA $363 tool/boot kit: amzn.to/3XDOwF0 $79 Knockoff: amzn.to/3pnzZ3C

Never knew such a tool existed. This is so you don't have to remove the knuckle clips. I always do though. Makes cleaning out the old grease easier.

Yup! I put links in the description for amazon. They are not clickable on shorts in youtube anymore. But you could copy and paste them. You can get these anywhere. Amazon has the most choice right now and they seem to be the cheapest 😃

This is Awesome!! Thanks for sharing 😊👍👍

Would you recommend possibly boiling it for maybe 20 seconds so it can have better elasticity?

Good point and very true! Usually the value and durability of an oem axle is much higher than economical aftermarket replacements. So if just the boot is bad, I like to replace the boot 😃🔧

But they are cheap Chinese crap and don't last long. Better off replacing the boot if you can and keep your old axles.

I bought new axles, my front end vibrated after repair so I put the old ones back and replaced the boot. Front end ride smooth, no vibration.

You can use a funnel too in a pinch

So you don't clean out the old grease and dirt? How long do you expect the joint to last? You know a few taps with the hammer and the joint will come off the shaft right? How is this saving any time or making it easier?

Old grease was in good shape like you say. But I should have cleaned it out to make perfect. It should live on though with new grease added like an oil change 😃😃

Here is a video on testing them and forcing noise from the front cv-axles. Listen for the crunch crunch and clunk clunk under load. Can happen when cornering or accelerating most cases. Usually the noise follows the tire speed and clunks every half revolution 😃🔧 kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIuXuZKYet3JpLQ.html

$180 made by Dorman. There are cheaper ones on amazon now for about $80 though that look similar and might be as good. I am not sure I haven't tested them though 😃

Eh, I’m too lazy and don’t have enough resources to rebuild an axle myself. Buying quality ones from good sellers is easier and quicker to do.

Either way is a good plan. I like to save oem shafts with new boots if the joint is still good generally because the aftermarket is usually not quite as good. But the boot replacement can be hard sometimes also 😃
