Learn how to disassemble the boot of a CV joint on a VW Golf 5. Position your car on a column lift: raise it to a comfortable height, unscrew the wheel bolts (using a socket wrench or air drill) and remove the wheel. Next, begin to unscrew the brake disc bolts with a socket wrench.

Unscrew the bolts located under the disc and completely remove the joint from the wheel hub, pulling the arm around the joint with your hands. Fit the new boot with the spacer rings (after removing the old one) of the constant velocity joint, then start reassembling all the parts in reverse order.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
