Drive Shaft Gaiter Replacement Instructions

Model: Renault Megane Megane 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Control arm

This system allows you to replace the drive shaft gaiter without disassembling the CV joint: however, you need to extract the drive shaft from the hub to fit the gaiter using a funnel-shaped tool. There is also a gaiter available on the market that can be applied without disassembly, as it is open and can be glued after application. Before lifting the vehicle, loosen the wheel and drive shaft mounting bolts; then place the vehicle on suitable axle stands to complete the disassembly of the wheel, the brake caliper with support, the suspension arm ball joint, and the hub-to-shock absorber mounting bolts. At this point, remove the drive shaft retaining nut and extract it from the hub, remove the gaiter retaining clips and cut it off. Lubricate and fit the new gaiter onto the appropriate tool, turning it inside out to pass it over the CV joint and secure it with the metal clips.
