How to Remove the CV Joint Boot on VW Golf 5

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: CV boot

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.
