  • How to install split CV boot, no dismantling, easy DIY Save $$s. A CV boot repair by using a universal split CV boot kit (aka CV gaiter). This type of CV joint gaiter replacement is extremely cost effective and an easy to accomplish DIY proposition.
    I show how it’s done on my Son’s Polo, but the kit and method are exactly the same for any car.
    If you have a split CV boot, water and dirt are allowed in and grease out. It’s also an MoT failure.
    Split CV boot installation is an alternative to dismantling the hub and joint, saving labour.

    I just installed one of these for the first time on a rear axle shaft of my Honda Element. Your demonstration was most helpful. The axle shaft is small in diameter, and I couldn't get the small metal clamp to go around in a circle. Tried cutting it shorter and pre-forming it, but once I got it locked and crimped, I noticed that it distorted the end of the boot, causing a gap where dirt or water could enter. A worm-drive hose clamp was too wide, so I went with a zip tie. Seems to fit perfectly. Trimming the length of, and pre-forming the larger clamp worked fine.
    I cleaned everything first, but waited to pack grease into the joint until after the boot was glued up. I figured that would keep excess grease from accidentally getting onto the mating surfaces. It seems that the key to this job is to keep everything clean. Interesting tips from the Bailcast instruction sheet:
    • Run a bead of glue along the completed joint ensuring any minute holes have been filled.
    • Don’t work with your hands around driveshaft in case you become glued together.
    (The second one sounds like a comedy bit...)
    Cheers from the US!

    Very impressive and interesting.
    Tks for sharing.
    I would suggest to clean up the old grease first , then glue the new boot , then fill up with new grease .
    That would avoid contamination of the 2 lips while applying the glue

    My garage quoted me £100 to do this. I just had one of them thoughts to go onto RUclips to see if I could do it myself. Your video was the first one I watched. I watched some other ones but definitely this is the best by far. I’ve already ordered one of them kits and will be getting that sorted thanks to your video. Brilliant information and you’ve just got yourself a new subscriber 👍🏽😀

    • @CycloneCyd
      @CycloneCyd  3 года назад +8

      You can do it! If the old boot is split and letting grease out, try wrapping it with cling film or a bin bag and wrap it tightly with duct tape. that should keep the grease in and water/dirt out while you wait for the kit to arrive.

    Thanks for sharing this. I just did a Rav4 with the same universal boots and had to trim both ends as you needed to here and it made for a very good fit. I deviated from your procedure in gluing them along the seams all at once though. Although I had both hands full it worked out well. Also, I looked over the clamps provided and just decided to go with zip ties.
    As a side note... I cleaned the area with gasoline and rags and then the thin residue left behind by that got sprayed/washed down by more gasoline being shot though a spray gun. You can't over emphasize the need to have the area clean for the adhesive to do it's job.

      Wow! Thanks. You have no idea how pleased I am that someone noticed and thought to comment. I really hate wating videos with wobbly or shifting focus camera work (and there are millions like it), so early on after starting my channel I invested in a range of camera supports and small battery lights. I try to keep my production values high.

      Yep, dead easy. They are even more robust than some of the cheaper gaiters that need the axle dismantling. Even if you regard this as a temporary repair to get you through an MoT, it's a real easy DIY proposition. Thanks for interacting.

      @@CycloneCyd Hey, another Brazilian here but this time, from London :)
      Amazing video and exactly what I was looking for. I have been on about changing my CV boot as it's torn for some time now but as a DIY job I was not very confident about removing the wheel, discs etc in order to do this. Great solution this universal kit!
      Do you think I would need to clean up the grease in the joint (and add fresh grease)as it's been some time it's torn and it may have picked up some dirt? Or should I just add more grease ?
      Your help would be much appreciated!

    • @CycloneCyd
      @CycloneCyd  4 года назад +3

      @@jeffersonf8143 yeah, clean it out as best you can. Old lolly sticks and wooden kebab sticks are good for this purpose. Get as much out as you can mechanically, then use brake cleaner in bursts - this is good because it's a big can and you can spray it at any angle, a huge help amzn.to/2zRwhoH. Pack with moly grease afterwards, this is about the right amount and the tube has a nozzle to help get it right in there amzn.to/3d6eNTO. put plenty of newspaper or a bowl under to catch the crap. Also very useful in this situation: amzn.to/2SrTAvv

    When using universal boots, remove both clamps but leave the lip of the old rubber on the joint end. It can have a special groove and the new boot should go over the old rubber lip which will make it more secure.

      Hi Sereno, Not clear what you mean - leave a slice of rubber of the old boot on the vehicle at the axle end and then put the new split boot over the top? The new split boot seems pretty tight - may be impossible to do this. Please explain - thanks!

    Great video! I actually did this repair some time ago and it all went off well. Despite my conviction that I did in fact perfectly glue it, leaks did appear shortly after installation. I just uploaded a video which shows post-installation issues and explored possible solutions.
