Now you are ready to start putting it back together.
Fill the outer CV joint with grease supplied in the boot kit. Get it as deep into the joint as possible. Then apply the new outer boot per the instructions in the boot kit (the kit contains the boot, boot sraps and grease).
Slide the outer (large end) on and apply the strap. The strap tool really would have helped here but I managed by using a scwer driver, pliers and cutters. You then "burp" any extra air out of the boot by sliding a screw driver under the small end and squeezing the boot. Remove the screw driver and allow the boot to go back into shape. Apply the small end strap. The straps line up on the grooves on the large end and on the groove on the shaft on the small end.
Next slide the new inner boot on (small end first).
Next put the outter CV joint back together the opposite of taking it apart.
Outer cage, center piece onto splined shaft, snap ring, and then the balls.
Apply grease to the parts and balls. This will help keep it all together.
Now carefully manipulate it back into the space it came out of. You will have to move the assembly around until it all lines up and then it will just drop right into place.
