Hi guys,

I was painting my brake calipers the other day when I realized that my left front cv boot was busted all the way around letting out all the grease. I have ordered a new boot on ebay and wanted to change it myself. Can anyone tell me the major tasks involved? A how-to on this topic would be nice. :o

Haynes has a good 'how to' in it. ;)
Basically you need to undo hub bolt/bottom ball joints, wiggle and pull. For the extra tools you (may) need to buy and the sweaty graft it may be worth you paying a garage someone to do it. c'£60 inc.
