3. OPERATION
3.1. Access will be improved by removal of the wheel and brake
caliper, although this is not essential.
3.2. Check the size required for your CVJ boot. Remove the old boot
and assess the required size by measuring it, and the CV joint
once it has been cleaned.
3.3. Wipe away the old grease. If the CV joint contains water or dirt,
clean it as much as possible. Clean the driveshaft and flange
thoroughly. If the working area is awkward, wrap the joint
and shaft in film, such as Clingfilm or a seat protector to avoid
contaminating the new boot with grease.
3.4. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly. The following steps cannot
be done with oily or wet hands. Before glueing, practice fitting
the boot joint faces together, 1 or 2 centimetres at a time,
starting with the small end. Don’t try to hold the whole seam
together, it is almost impossible without the glue.
3.5. Put on the rubber gloves provided. Stretch the boot at the small
end. There is no risk of tearing the rubber. Put the small end
of the boot around the shaft. Stretch the boot at the small end,
pulling each side around the shaft so that it overlaps at the join if
you can. Hold it overlapped for a few seconds to take the tension
out of the rubber.
3.6. Starting at the small end, smear a little glue across the joint face
and fill the groove for about 2 centimetres, to the start of the first
convolution. Now make the joint carefully, readjusting until the
tongue and groove are neatly settled in. Hold the join still for
about 60 seconds to allow the glue to set. Ensure that fingers are
kept well clear of the glue to avoid accidental adhesion.
3.7. In very cold or very dry weather allow a little more time for the
glue to set. Release carefully to make sure the joint has taken. If
glue has squeezed out and formed a blob on the surface, it will
take time to harden but the join will not be affected. Scrape away
the excess glue with a piece of card at the end of the job.
3.8. Glue the next 2 centimetres and assemble in the same way. As
it is not under tension, it only needs to be held together for 20
seconds. Repeat to the end of the boot, then allow the glue to
cure for 20 minutes.
3.9. Cut the corner of the grease sachet and direct the grease into
the joint. There is no need to put grease into the boot, but it
doesn’t matter if you do – once made, the glued joint is not
affected by the grease.
3.10. Fit the boot over the CV joint and fit the ties securely at both
ends. Ensure that any components removed from the vehicle are
replaced securely before lowering.
