hi all

as im getting used to this barge now as i occasionally drive it

i thought i'd get back with the cv boot findings

im ex merc and other things,but thats another story

on a vito or v classe we always removed outer cvs and boots without removing the shaft, ( bonus system)

so a while ago i asked the same question of the skoda outer cv, and was advised to remove entirely

i know it isnt a french early style claw type cv requiring a trumpet, so i went ahead my way

wheel ,hub nut,track rod end,brake carrier and caliper,lower rear ball joint all off and out of harms way

cut off old boot

hold shaft into gearbox and hold with large mole grips

keep outer cv parallel and tap off (used a large mallet)

1 hit

simple, it is just a matter of over coming the shafts c clip

nothing else disturbed or unnecessarily taken off ....(if your on bonus)

cleaned out and refitted with febi kits which are a very good quality

hope it helps some one

I did a how 2 on this if anyone needs help.
