CV BOOT replacement. Easiest method!!

Replacing a cv boot on my 2011 VW Transporter T5 4-motion.
This is an easy job you can do yourself in your driveway. Not much tools required. Always fingertight nuts and bolts before using an impact to prevent cross threading!

Nothing like having all the correct tool for the job. I have done this job with a spanner, screwdriver, hammer old paint brush. This looks much easier.

This was going real good as a DIY boot replacement video until that giant stretcher came out 😰

[daleschuls]

For anyone curious, a cv boot expander is only around $70(US). The CV axle is only about $60-$90. Even with renting basic tools, you're still HUNDREDS of dollars less than a mechanic. I love youtube.

Nice boot stretcher. Well done repair, just be ready to do the other three next month :)

Great video showing how tools make life easier!!

Hello 👋 good job well done ✅ but there is another way : open the clamp clips which are located inside the shaft of the CV joint with special pliers, then remove the CV joint and then insert the CV boot normally 👍

No idea that spanner tool existed. Nice time saver. Appreciate the video.

This guy has all the tools that car repair shop would have. 3:42 normally people don't have this kinda tool though..

Easiest method if you have the right tools.

I accidentally nicked my CV boot replacing my lower control arm, 🙃 put some RTV sealant on it as a temporary fix but I’ll probably need this video in the future, thank you!

[dazmac]

Excellent tutorial, I use the plastic cone as I don't do this job often🤙🏄‍♀️

[williampatrickfagan]

I loved the man's approach to the given task.
Health n safety first. Cleaning surfaces before working. Using han tools to double check torque on bolts. Tightening every second wheel nut and finish tightening by hand.
Only thing I would have done is leave the nut on Track rod end to protect its threads when using the splitting tool.
Otherwise very professional approach to the job.

Kudos to the camera Crew, I literally enjoyed the excellent filming than the repair process ❤

[huiren]

I don't know why some repair shops are unwilling to rebuild the cv axle and prefer to replace it with a new one.

[rioshound]

You're a professional, well done.❤

[patterdalezipsuzilil]

I love a stretchy boot kit i used the nylon cone

[FragranceEmpire]

So now I just need the tools 1k job in under 10 mins. Rather invest in my tools then pray to baby jesus i put everything back together correctly.

In regards to the inner boot, Murphy always follows me.

[vannahnaera]

I wish it would've been that easy for me 😂
