CV Boot Driver Side Outer

[SPAZZ]

Jonnie already has the parts, he just can not figure out how to get his VX tore apart to replace the boots. I've explained it, but in person is way better I guess.
Is there ANYONE CLOSE to him that could help him out and save him the dealers nightmaresh price ??????

Took another shot at it today. Theres good news and bad news.

After a trip to Harbor Freight, I was better equiped to get the nut off the upper ball and get the upper caliper bolt to loosen. Could not before. But the ball would not release (no puller) so it went back together and I threw on the split boot -damn screws. No, this is not a perminate fix. Took a test run and it all seems fine, First highway trip in 2 weeks.

The old boot and bands come off so easy, its the rest thats hard. The joint looked really clean so I was a bit happy.

Figuring to pull the hub and rotor, and get some ball joint pullers, and do it like the manual.

I'd be more than happy to help, just may be a weekend or two as the job schedule is pulling major vacuum right now.
