Nissan Cube - How To Change Shock Absorber Dust Boot

After purchasing my wife's Cube I noticed the dust boot on the strut was broken so I decided to order a new one and install it. An easy $25 job to prolong your shock absorber's.

I totally got caught out by the third bolt by the bonnet hinge, thought I needed to take the bonnet off first but you managed without!

YES NO ONE DOES VIDEOS OF THE CUBE!

[@levripidou]

well done mate, love your work

[@atatovo]

Awesome vid mate how long did the job take you?

[@franciscoortiz6980]

Thanks for the video. I have a 2013 nissan cube... only has 60k miles... but I am buying new tires... and figure might as well replace struts. Can I ask why you did not just also replace the strut since you went through the work or removing it and taking it apart from the spring ? I am not sure to go with KYB or Monroe.

What is that? What you took the nut off of at 1:07 in the video please?

[@john13200242]

Possibly a 14mm socket

[@TreyDez91]

Johnney's Garage I know it's a 14mm but I found out. I just wanted to make sure that was the stabilizer lonk. Thanks

Oh I see what you mean, glad you have it sorted.

[@seansinay8797]

what size are the strut bolt heads? are they different from the bolt to the nut?

[@76mitchum]

Was wondering what year of Cube you are working on? Have a 2011 but am unable to locate the third bolt that secures the strut assembly. This model does not have the removable cap option.

[@michomoreno5982]

You can find the 3rd bolt right next to the wiper blade, there is a little square plastic you have to removed.

[@devonmixrowe117]

Yes, mind too🤔
