DIY Replacement of the CV Joint Boot

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Drivetrain

Video tutorial

Lift the car with a jack and remove the wheel by unscrewing the bolts. Work on the rear of the vehicle: use a flat screwdriver to break the two metal clamps.

Cut the joint with your preferred tool and remove it. Clean the exposed area that will be full of grease. Take the new boot, which will be perfectly divided in its middle.

Check that the smaller hole of the new joint is approximately the same width as that of the removed joint: if the new one has a smaller diameter, cut the first upper "step". Apply the same reasoning for the larger diameter. Join the middle of the joint as shown in the video and reassemble it.
