Changing Cv Outer Boot

[kidafa]

In the past week or so the front right cv boot on the stag has split. As its only just recently happened its making a hell of a mess on the backside of the weel and under and around it all.

How hard are they to change? Ive been told buy Xmetal N15 pulsar boots fit, can anyone confirm this? Can some one give me a how to change it? Its on the RSfour stagea.

Also some tips on doing cheffs 260 stag would be helpfull cos both of his have been gone for a while now and if its a diy well do his soon too

Ive changed all mine but then realised i didnt to the ties up tight enough and now i have grease all under my car.

Its pretty easy to do, Wheel off, Middle nut out, losen end of drive shaft and take it out. A rattle gun is very handy to use also.

Also once u got it off take it to the C.V joint and drive shaft place in edwardstown, same rd as doyle crash but closer to south rd. They are roughly $15bucks each with grease.

Luke,

Will it be any harder as the stags 4wd? If i dont have a rattle gun can i still do it with a massive amount of leverage from multiple pieces of pipe I hvave lying around the house?

[Luke_ENR34]

Could work. Might be able to leave the rotor on and handbrake and undo it that way. Only one way to find out i guess.

Mines 4wd to, shouldnt make any difference. Just do the end ties on the boots up tight.

shit never really looked at that its a gt -4 ! lol sorry mate!

Hand break wont d oa thing cos its the fronts ... just get someone to stamp on the pedal

havnt seen you out it a while how ya been anyway?

mayeb i will have a go myself... thought it could be tricky... gues I shouild be able to tackle most things after taking both turbos of adams 26! f**k doing that ever again.

[Luke_ENR34]

Havent been to bad, Just slowly getting shit done to my car.

Could try and get someone on the brake pedal. Other then that i dont really know lol.

Good luck.

if the boot has split and most of the grease is out DONT just put another boot on it chances are water/grime has already got into the joint and will still stuff up, better of hitting up S.A suspension in pooraka and getting a bearing kit done with new boot! just not worth all the effort for it to stuff up in a couple months!

[nugzy31]

Depending on where you are...CV driveshaft and suspension down south are pretty good

yeah ive got some prices and cheapest by far is 85 at some place down in Lonsdale. Not close but its a fair bit cheaper.

If lukes done all his 4 ill have a look at it tomorrow morning and see what i think.

Digging up an old thread here. I've done the rightfront drive shaft inner boot on my R33 GTR. I rang SA suspension and they only had a part number for an R32. My question...... Do the R32 and R33 GTR's use the same boot. If anyone knows for sure and it is the same, I can buy the boot and do the job over Easter, otherwise I have to take the shaft out to try and find a match.

Thanks.

intresting, 3yrs later front right is split

[Fantm1]

3 years later than what? Have I missed something

Also to clarify, I meant I have "done in" my boot not "done" as in replaced it.

You missed something.

[Fantm1]

You're not wrong I'm missing something, please explain how 3 years later comes into it. If you mean from the first post to mine that's 1 year and 11mths.
