How to replace a CV boot for REBEL2250

[Jx1x3]

why grease up and reboot it if you didn't even clean it?

[viggoM35]

cost.... unless it's an 80s BMW 325iX and the axle cost $400+ dollars... lol ;)

finally i found a vid that can help me, great vid......now its a matter of finding a boot that fits my car

[afscmeman]

This has shown me that the best option is CLEARLY to buy a new axle! Thanks for the vid.

[Bradjd56]

ok so i have to replace the outter cv joints on my car would it be the same process for any axle just remove the boot and that clip? the repeat in reverse with the new parts? thanks

[bah53]

@Bradjd56 Most of them are similar to this, I won't say they all are because I haven't seen everything but most are.

[Bradjd56]

@bah53 thanks a bunch

[madmonkey35]

Thanks man you really helped.!!

I know what to do now!

[karkraz]

I did this on a friend's 89 Accord, his passenger axle was clicking pretty badly, we found a good one at the junk yard with a torn inner boot, so we put a new boot on that, and put it in the car. Saved around $20 buying the axle and boot vs buying a new axle. I don't like rebuilt axles anyways, I've had too many of them break on me for no reason.

[spriggsjeem]

Hearty thanks for that extremely useful demo. I had read about that little clip in my manual, but could not figure out where it was. This is a most excellent video.

[wafrederick]

Better off buying a reman axle than replacing the boot saving time.

[mdkgod43]

what do u use to clean it out?

[bah53]

@mdkgod43 A parts washer works great but if you don't have one you can use some diesel fuel or gasoline (be careful and don't burn down your shop) and then spray it down with brake cleaner.

[ArgosWarrior]

@mdkgod43 Petrol works well

Thanks for posting

[2253benjamin]

anyone have a cheap way to get the bands clamped?I was thinking of grooving a pair of vise grips at the ends

[tyler24ist]

thanx for the help. I ripped my boots when i was changeing my ball joint and my control arm. I had no clue how to get it apart. Cuz i'm not machanic and I hate paying someone to fix something i can do myself.

[evilneverdies88]

what is the other boot called??

[bah53]

@evilneverdies88 The boot on the other end is called the same thing, its just a different style constant velocity joint on that end.

[kaylajade1019]

thanks a lot man ur cool,that is very good explanation maybe next week i can do mine..salamat...

[PUboiler29]

Great video.

Yes you can buy a cheap refurbished axle but they usually last a fraction of the life of the original OEM joint. If you're a little proactive and replace the boots on OEM joints before they tear, you only have to deal with axle issues every 150,000 mi. Once you go get the cheap refurbs you describe, you're going to be replacing joints every 40,000 mi. Just my experience...

[bigredchnl20]

nice,i heard clutch!!!!!!!!!!!

[MegaBiiitch]

@bigredchnl20 that was an abortion. How'd he get the clip between the shaft and the joint teeth out and in? at least he admitted he didn't know DICK at the end. I respect that

[MajesticChicken]

Big help friend, thank you.

[seanybealeo]

You are the man seriously saved me soo much hassle

[adamberg666]

its sooo much easier than doing a u-joint since its covered and smothered in grease its whole life.

[johngelsomino]

What a mess....just easier to pay the extra 35 dollar for a rebuilt unit.

[authmaax]

tha clip.. is so simple

most people seems to ... simply wack them off with hammers

not all are that easy removed are they?

[John27346]

Great video. How much oil leaks out of the transmission after the shaft is removed?

[bah53]

usually not a whole lot

[p4rtn3r]

When I changed the joint on my car I had the same type of clamp you've got there and what i did was put them on and squeeze them until they locked into the square holes by hand then got a pair of side cutters and squashed that little nub. and they haven't come off yet. it saves buying special tools.

[chadwick5575]

thanks that helped alot i go to the point of i didnt no how to get the things apart! thanks, great skills u got!

[RadioRex72]

What brand replacement shafts do you have the best luck with?

[bah53]

I usually just buy the cheapest one I can find and haven't had any problems yet. The last few ive gotten have been Cardone

[Joarek81]

Thanks for the vid. Answered my questions :)

[V8Jagnut]

good vid. this is why i dont drive a FWD.

[pantherxx010]

its not that hard to replace or repair them. and they do last long time than before.

[REBEL2250]

thanks alot for the vid! i think i'm gonna have to get a whole new axle now since the boots been torn for a while and its making noise whenever i turn.

[bah53]

yeah thats probably best, if its making noise the joints already screwed

[More350Power]

Great vid!
