This looks handy, BUT only in case this is your only option. Personally, i will always prefer to remove the CV joint and replace the boot this way - it is cleaner and does no require all that lubrication. Plus, you can inspect the CV joint itself. Overall, it looks like you know what you are doing - using the torque wrench, using thread lock, etc. but that cone should be a plan B type of action. :)

People, people, the man is demonstrating how to use the cone tool. Here's a suggestion. Do reversal of boot once it's on the tool before putting it over the cv joint. Once expanded small end goes over the cv joint you install the retaining metal clamps or use big wire ties instead and trim as necessary.

Yup. Definite hole. You can see it actually come around from the left at 7:33. This guys a dumb ass. The boot was reversing it'self as he pushed it off.

If he'd have changed his gloves, wiped the oil off the boot, and applies slow and steady pressure, it would have come off on the axle already right side out.

split boots used here for yrs... they DO work but the reason for all the comments about failure result from contamination of the seams while people are putting it in place ..this leads to early failure as it lets go in the spot if the tiniest bit of oil or grease are present in the seam... trick for lasting results is to have the area Hospital clean and drape clean rags or use newspaper over and around Anything that could possiblly come into contact with the open seams that are already coated with thge glue and ready to be joined..The prep is the hardest part! the other factor for sucess is proper application of the glue and correctly seating the seam.. do trial runs without glue so u know how it goes together..once the glue is applied, ur gonna get One chance to press it together!...u cant pull it apart and try again...alot of factors make this tedious and nerve wracking to do but it Can work and hold up great.

Yeah baby! I've been fighting this for over 2 weeks. I have a '93 GMC Jimmy. Yes. I said '93. I bought this heap, used. Now, how many people drive the same vehicle for over 24 years? I decided to replace the spark plugs. BUT I can't get to the plugs on the driver side unless I remove the tire AND the inner fender. Brilliant engineering! While doing this, I noticed one of my CV boots was split and leaking grease. I thought that it was the inner boot. But after removing the tire and ball joints, I noticed that it was the outer boot that was split. I intended to replace both boots. This requires pulling the axle. But it finally dawned on me to get the split boot that I just wrap around the axle, and seal it with adhesive (from Rock Auto). Our local Car Quest doesn't have the split boot. I was not aware of the installation cone. Thanks. The inner boot is OK. I installed all four boots after I bought the Jimmy. That was in 1997, 24 years ago. I decided to replace the upper and lower ball joints while doing this. My rust-bucket isn't clean as the one in the video. With all the grease on the larger end of the boot, I found that it slips off before I can clamp it. I noticed that the lug nuts weren't torqued to specs. I tighten the hub nut by putting my weight on a 3/4" drive ratchet. Very informative video. THANKS

I’ve done these dozens of times using stretch boots, takes about 20 minutes. I use a towel to grip the boot and slide it up the cone. Some cars it’s easier to unclip the joint sometimes you can undo the bottom ball joint, spread the clip and slide the joint off still in the hub and slip the new boot in. There’s always a manufacturer method and then there’s the mechanics method which takes half the time. And a couple of times I did old cavaliers that I could just spread the clip and the shaft slipped back enough to get a boot in, took a few minutes. But not all cavaliers had that amount of slop. Some, like the volvos had the joint glued into the hub and good luck getting those out . Even used sticky boots with the glue seam. Done properly they last well enough. Just need to wrap everything in cling film to stop grease spoiling the glueing operation.
@meTimetraveler2 жыл бұрын
i disagree, there is the factory way and then there is the shady mechanic way. if the boot is torn water and dirt has gotten in. the grease is probably tan looking. the shaft should be pulled and cleaned/disassembled. There are no short cuts in automotive repair. the generic boots are thinner than OEM boots so they can stretch........so do it right the first time OR do it again/ CV joint failure later on.

Just a few extra tips. Hitting the ball joint side usually works. Never hit the ball joint stud without the nut at its end with light taps & only if you have to. Clamp type separators are better than "pickle" forks but can also cut the boot. Most can be pushed down with your thumbs. Clean axle splines w/a high rpm wire wheel & grease. It'll go back thru the hub easier.

If the outer joint won't separate and the inner is in good condition it may in some circumstances be worthwhile using this method which also would negate having to disturb the transmission seal (if the car has one) however you should clean out the joint as much as possible before repacking and when lubing the cone use the CV grease not engine oil.

Using a cone: Lubricate external of new boot. Slide small end over the cone. Push down to turn new boot inside out. Push larger end of boot that is inside out over drive shaft. Stretch the smaller end over the wide area of the cone? Will it stretch that much without tearing? Pull the wide end of boot back over the shaft, turning it outside out. I have the Car Quest outer boot. The smaller diameter WILL NOT stretch that much. I have both the inner and outer boots, but Car Quest has the same part number for both. For my "93 Jimmy, it is 85 1103. But one boot is longer than the other. Did I miss something? This is not my first rodeo. I replaced both inner and outer boots for both sides after I bought the Jimmy in 1997 . I removed both axles to replace the boots. It seems that it wasn't that hard 24 years ago.

how should it be done then? If I came to my mechanic and he sees I did the glued CV gaitor, he's gonna kill me.

@@pochron1105 Yes some time ago haha, how long has the boot lasted? I do a lot of 4wd so this kind of technique I would not do due to the amount of stress and angles my CV's would be at so rather not have them half thrashed before they even get used.

@@benjaminprince6424 Makes sense ... but who knows! It actually came out very neat and I didn't have any issues or early wear. Probably the repair itself was less stressful than in the video above too. ;) I won't be surprised if it keeps going for ages.

I would have never believed this if I had not seen it. Hard to believe that that small inner hole could be stretched that far... I have changed the outer boot many times when i could not get the shaft out, I released the inside clip on the outer c/v joint and pulled it...

@Russ Calligan I *ONLY* do this; if the CV j. is good,why buy a new one? the boots are 5 to 10 euro,mechanic's price; the universal ones,cut to fit to the diameters,are 5 euros.
