Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to replace the CV boot on an Opel Astra H: we lift the car and remove the wheel. We remove the CV joint nut (if it is rusty, we use a penetrating oil); disconnect the suspension arm, and then gently tap the hub with a plastic hammer to remove the CV joint; remove the damaged boot by cutting the metal clamps with a cutting pliers, slide the boot along the CV joint, open the locking ring and remove the CV joint with a firm movement.

We can find a pair of boots, for example, on Temu for the price of 3.46 euros (free delivery for purchases over 20.00 euros); we mount it on the CV joint, reassemble the joint until we hear the "click" of the locking ring; fill the joint with new grease, reassemble the CV joint, reconnect the suspension arm, and manually turn the CV joint to check for any abnormal friction.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
