sonett - fixing ripped boot on left axle
I rebuild the axles (cv joints, whatever you want to call them) not that long ago. And yet I got a tiny hole in the outer boot for the left axle. This flung grease into the wheel well. While I had the engine it was a good time to fix this issue.
I replaced both the inner and outer boots. The inner boot is not that expensive compared to the laber I was already putting in.
Once annoying thing is the boot clamps. One boot came with the correct sized clamps. The other came with clamps where were way to big. I had to buy an adjustable clamp locally. It is not as nice as a stainless steel crimp clamp, but it works well enough.
