How to install a SKF universal constant velocity joint boot

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: CV boot

In this video we can see how to mount the universal SKF driveshaft boot: we remove the clamp that tightens the boot we want to change, both in the front and in the back; then to remove the boot, we can cut it. It is necessary to use a special tool that expands the boot to its maximum width, allowing for a perfect fit to the driveshaft. After positioning it, all that remains is to put the clamps back in place on the front side, coat the inside of the driveshaft with the appropriate grease, which is part of the boot kit, and then tighten the bottom part of it with the larger clamp, and our work will be finished.
