How to replace a CV boot. This is a video showing the replacement of a cv boot on a 2001 Buick Lesabre Axle. I forgot to mention in this vid that there are other kinds of boots you can buy, some are split boots, which are split down the middle and glued together while the axle is still in the car. There are also boots which are made to stretch over the end of the axle so you don't have to remove the axle from the car.

  • 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

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

  • what do u use to clean it out?

  • @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.

  • what is the other boot called?? 

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

see all

  • @mdkgod43 Petrol works well

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

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

  • Thanks a lot, muchas gracias, for all ur informartion, que dios me lo bendiga

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

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

  • @bah53 thanks a bunch

  • Thanks man you really helped.!!

    I know what to do now!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • @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

  • Thanks for posting

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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...
