Having problems with message search?
Hi - these boots are available and I would change it if I were you (I keep 4 spare because a boot is a helluva lot cheaper than an axle/CV joint rebuild).
You may need to boil the new boot for 5 minutes to get it over 'the tulip' - old school way.
Happy Motoring - Andy

I know that it is not the proper way to fix it, but it looks like changing it the right way is beyond my capabilites/tools.
The car only travels a few hundred miles a year & even if the boot only lasts a year or 2 that would be fine.
I have had some short term success with split boots in the past. Even though most people swear against them & they are hard to find sometimes.
The pass side outer boot has a small tear & looks fairly recent with very little grease out yet. Joint seems fine.
Its a 2 dr sedan, 4 speed car if that matters.
Thanks.
