Front Cvj Boot Replacement

[tonyatmorleyvilla]

Hi. Can anyone out there tell me the easiest way to change a drivers side front cvj boot on a BX diesel 1990 H reg? I have changed BL & Vauxhall units before, so I am familiar with the process, but I need to know if there are any little tricks to use, what sorts of retaining clips there may be & how to cope with it.

Exacly the same

Undo shaft nut

Disconnect lower ball joint

Remove carrier bearing (bolted to crank case)

remove shaft

Knock off cv joint (held in with spring ring inside)

change boot

Refit is reverse

ps don't forget to catch the oil as it comes out of the diff and refill at end

pps Never remove both shafts at the same time because the crown wheel will drop out of alignment!! :rolleyes:
