How to install split CV boot, no dismantling, easy DIY Save $$s. A CV boot repair by using a universal split CV boot kit (aka CV gaiter). This type of CV joint gaiter replacement is extremely cost effective and an easy to accomplish DIY proposition.
I show how it’s done on my Son’s Polo, but the kit and method are exactly the same for any car.
If you have a split CV boot, water and dirt are allowed in and grease out. It’s also an MoT failure.
Split CV boot installation is an alternative to dismantling the hub and joint, saving labour.

Very impressive and interesting. Tks for sharing. I would suggest to clean up the old grease first , then glue the new boot , then fill up with new grease . That would avoid contamination of the 2 lips while applying the glue

I just installed one of these for the first time on a rear axle shaft of my Honda Element. Your demonstration was most helpful. The axle shaft is small in diameter, and I couldn't get the small metal clamp to go around in a circle. Tried cutting it shorter and pre-forming it, but once I got it locked and crimped, I noticed that it distorted the end of the boot, causing a gap where dirt or water could enter. A worm-drive hose clamp was too wide, so I went with a zip tie. Seems to fit perfectly. Trimming the length of, and pre-forming the larger clamp worked fine. I cleaned everything first, but waited to pack grease into the joint until after the boot was glued up. I figured that would keep excess grease from accidentally getting onto the mating surfaces. It seems that the key to this job is to keep everything clean. Interesting tips from the Bailcast instruction sheet: • Run a bead of glue along the completed joint ensuring any minute holes have been filled. • Don’t work with your hands around driveshaft in case you become glued together. (The second one sounds like a comedy bit...) Cheers from the US!

You can do it! If the old boot is split and letting grease out, try wrapping it with cling film or a bin bag and wrap it tightly with duct tape. that should keep the grease in and water/dirt out while you wait for the kit to arrive.

I've shared your video with my friends. You doing some muscle flex exercises really convinced me the glue is strong enough. I did my job in about 1 hour, but because I used tile snips, I cut the clamp. Took me two days to find another clamp. Otherwise, it was an easy job. I HIGHLY recommend buying the right tool - axle boot pliers - for this job. See the link in the video description. The money you save is well worth the price of the tool.

Initially I wanted to laugh at this video. Now, it’s well done, and the fellow doing the work seems like a jolly chap, that’s not the issue. The “laugh” would be cutting apart a cv boot instead of just removing the axle and putting an unmolested boot on. You know, the way it’s been done forever.. I can see you’d save some time and maybe potential effort with this method. The question is…..will it last as long as if you’d just replaced the boot as a whole? Well, now you’ve got me wanting to try it. Well done.

Ive used split boots many times, usually the dorman brand which are in 2 halves instead of this one which has a single split... the dorman ones are very stiff and its usually Not the rubber which ever tears as they age... Rather ,its the seams that can let go and if that happens its always becuz there was a bit of grease or dirt in the seam that prevented the joint from having full strength... From what ive seen, once that glue does its magic, and its Not regular super glue, its a special type that literally starts to partiall melt and fuse the rubber halves into a one piece bond....if you do the bond with absolutely clean surfaces, its permanent and uber strong...The hardest part is getting every prepped, hospital clean and Not having a spec of grease get into ur halves b4 they are merged together...unedr a car, with all the grease and crap thats there, its so easy to have a seam touch a bit of grease,u put it together and a few months later its started to let go in that spot...people who give these bad reviews are those who did not keep the seam sterile...its a Real pain in the neck to do, nerve wreaking and tedious but it beats pulling the axle and if u do it right these will last 5yrs or more...the rubber tself is better than factory as long as you get a good clean bond at the seams...

For the Dorman 2 part boots the best way is to glue the first seam with it off the car, then take a couple shop towels and fold them over the seam edges that are left so they are completely covered before you slip it over the shaft. This way when you are putting it on the edge is protected from dirt or grease from the shaft. Then you can remove the shop towels and glue it. Makes the job a lot easier.

I do prefer old school dismantling, it´s the right time for checking up and cleaning, put fresh grease in etc. BUT this is a very good alternative for DIY people, and best of all, it works just fine.

Thanks for sharing this. I just did a Rav4 with the same universal boots and had to trim both ends as you needed to here and it made for a very good fit. I deviated from your procedure in gluing them along the seams all at once though. Although I had both hands full it worked out well. Also, I looked over the clamps provided and just decided to go with zip ties. As a side note... I cleaned the area with gasoline and rags and then the thin residue left behind by that got sprayed/washed down by more gasoline being shot though a spray gun. You can't over emphasize the need to have the area clean for the adhesive to do it's job.

Great video Cyd, have done this myself over 30 years ago so the method is well proven if you take the care that you demonstrated. Also did this last year but have noticed the gaiter has perished and split. Just to warn others that whilst the job is successful it will not last long.

i think the proper way to do that is welding. i imagine it will not be very hard for someone to invent a welding method for it.
