Digsy Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 If you want a real quck and dirty job you can get CV boots that split along their length, meaning you don't have to take the shaft out and buy a boot expander to fit them. Apparently they are a bit fiddly to fit, but it might be an option. A motorfactors should know if they come Supra-sized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The save a heck of a lot of work, you get the glue which you use to join the split together. The couple I've used before come in a universal size which you trim to fit. Like this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
