How to Replace the CV Joint Boot on the Old Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: CV boot

If you hear a noise coming from the wheel, especially when steering, it is likely that the CV joint of the driveshaft is operating without grease due to a broken boot: you can replace the boot from the wheel side without having to remove the joint from the driveshaft, simply using a special plastic cone that acts as a fitting; however, you must first remove the driveshaft from the hub and, before lifting the vehicle, loosen the nut at the centre of the wheel; then lift the vehicle, remove the wheel, and disconnect the hub from the shock absorber and the arm ball joint; once the driveshaft is removed from the hub, remove the retaining clips of the boot and cut it off; at this point, generously lubricate the cone and insert the boot inside out, sliding it down to the base before fitting it onto the CV joint; apply grease to the joint and secure the boot with the appropriate clips, then proceed in reverse for reassembly.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
