As others have said, great camera angles and overall attention to detail. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. You can buy boot clamp pliers relatively cheaply to make that part of the job much easier.

18:45 Nice idea on the ear clip pliers cheater bars! Great video; thanks! And don't listen to the complaints about how you applied the grease. You did it the exact way explained in the instructions for the OEM replacement boots, as well as in ELSA--Audi's official workshop guide. The grease goes in the boot. (Correction: I double-checked Elsa. I'm not completely correct. It says lightly coat the rollers, put 20g in the end cap, squeeze the rest into the boot.)

Thank you so much for making this, helped a lot when doing the boot on my 05.5 A4 Quattro today. Honestrly couldn't have done it without this, saved me so much money.

A very helpful video, it gave me confidence to do mine. A new CV boot is a about £10 whilst an OE spec drive shaft for my car is well over a £100. Obviously depends on what you have, some axles are expensive.

Great video, but you can use the large screw as a puller for most half-shaft joints (as well as this one). You just have to screw it in until you have pushed the joint down. No hammering and no risk of damaging the joint.

Nice work. ALL DAY job. Torque wrench on that bolt on the axle. (not sure the spec). As someone else posted: It should be replaced.

To get a little more space or clearance I used a jack to lift up the lower control arm to the point where it is flat. Literally got an extra inch maybe even 2 of clearance. Axle came right out.

Where did you buy your outer cv boot? I bought an OEM boot kit from ECS but the outer boot is too small! The opening doesn’t fit around the cv joint

Great camera angles and good instructions but 2 fails, 1 The grease should go inside joint, not the boot. 2 The bolt on the shaft is a stretch bolt and should never be re-used

Hi, Ck 13:56 video time, I greased both side , I think the greas go in all point after heat up. ...if you have the new drivershaft bolt I agree replace it that's good way but if not don't be panic and us the old bolt ;)

1) Incorrect, according to the instructions that come with the OEM replacement boot and to the workshop guide in ELSA (VW/Audi's dealer maintenance guide.) I'm inclined to trust Audi. (*Edit: Double-checked Elsa. I'm not 100% right. It says lightly coat the rollers, put 20g in the end cap, squeeze the rest into the boot.) 2) Correct. I've seen techs reuse them, but it really shouldn't be done.

I learned from this video.... just install a new axle. They are not that much more expensive. At that point you are 98% already there. not to mention they already come CORRECTLY packed with grease and ready to install
@TravisTerrell4 жыл бұрын
The aftermarket axles (other than those from Raxles) are widely reported to have a range problems, from incorrect fit to short life. Raxles cost $250, and OEM cost $400. If you're willing to pay that much more, by all means go for it. He also applied the grease the way the official Audi service manual says to!
