Thank you for the steady camera, quiet and polite manner of speaking and no horrible background music. Something from the gentle classical genre would have complimented this style of video. Your choice of nothing at all was a wonderful change. Thank you, thank you, thank you. From an accomplished American mechanic who has changed around a dozen of these boots and shafts just on my own vehicles. I wanted to see the split boot installation and the sticky boot title attracted my attention, as well as 63,955 others before me. Thumbs up, my friend.

Thanks for your comments.What I try to do is show how to carry out a repair as it is, no gimmicks or attempts to win Oscars, yes that may be thought by some as flat and uninteresting, but I feel that if it's music you want, switch on the radio.Thanks again for getting in touch.

I am going to do this job this week. I was delighted to see you used my idea of plastic wrap to keep the new boot clean. If it lasts a few years I will be happy. Thank you for your time.

After reading the installation instruction, I still not quite sure how to cut the boot to fit. This video clearly demonstrated how that was done. Thanks.

great video very easy to follow and alot less hassle than having to strip everything down thx for this

I never new this existed....The BMW dealer in Canada charges about $1200.00 to replace this....Thank you very much....Good, easy to understand video.

1200 to replace a cv boot lol.dont think so

Helpful demonstration video. Many thanks.

Thanks my man, I'm ready to do one of these today, looks like fun. If it holds up even better.

Very informative. Full respect to the guy with well manners. I would like to replace them but can't trust any garage apart of the car dealers which they charge millions. Thanks

Thank you for posting this video, was gonna pay a mechanic to change my cv boot but now am gonna give this a go myself :)

Thanks for getting in touch, main point is to keep the joint edges clean before applying the glue, and strong cable ties work just as well.

very nice video man, gotta replace mine cv boot (inside/inner one) so this vid helped me a lot. Thanks for your videos and keep it going!

Thanks for the video very helpful

the O clamp how you tight it because it just look hard to get it tight up like the 1 that have screw .

This is a good video, I use them on my car, they last about 2 and 1/2 years on my BMW which is exactly the same as a normal boot for my car as its heavy. I would say, when you do this, cleanliness is close to godliness as grease and glue are not best friends so make sure you keep everything clean.

Hi good video, but how do you tighten the clips properly?

excellent job

Im not tring to be a dickhead but the cv boot is the last thing you should be worried about , the road salt has everything rusting away, but you're video is good

This is a kool idea. And I know that there is glue that will hold rubber together. Because I have made O ring’s for hydraulic fittings on heavy equipment. But my thoughts are it’s to bad that there isn’t something that could be applied to the outside of the boot to make it one piece.

Dan Thanks.

how i can order this ?? online

Very very well done video, considering the corroded condition of the components. (Alliteration unintended :) I have just bought one of these for my SAAB Aero. Here in NZ my job should be easy.... our climate leaves vehicles just a little dusty underneath. Thanks for sharing. You have saved me a lot of instruction reading when the kit arrives.

Yer, not much corrosion gonna happen to your car. Travel. Learn. Comment. Only then. Once knowledge is gained. NOOB. Great informative video.

good vid.

I believe the axle or proper boot should be replaced instead of a split boot, however, one thing I noticed here is that the old grease could have been easily sprayed away with brake or carb cleaner, then pack new grease into the joint. This would ensure any grit, dirt, salt etc. is gone from inside the joint. I would also use some hose clamps, which are easier than these boot clamps. Also, the glue is a rubber weld compound, not a super glue.

Well that was a nightmare of a job. Firstly the "universal" boot wasn't universal and was not long enough and then the clips were of no use, ended up having to get proper jubilee clips, only then did the boot stay on.

Very good, well paced presentation. I especially appreciate the steady camera, good lighting, and lack of annoying music. I'm curious about the car. It looks rather "vintage" or is it that you simply live in a harsh environment?

I had the car for at least another 18 months and it was perfect.

The problem with those “quick boots” is you cannot clamp the clamps tight enough, like from the factory. They end up loose, but if you can get it tight good for you. Better to just put a new shaft.

Loftur Hjalmarsson If you dont want to split the joint, use the one which goes over it via the plastic cone. It is a messy job (both sides of the boot gets greased), but it is as good as the new. Ive got one more than 5 years and thousands of miles. No concerns at all.
