nope instead of turning the boot inside out to put it on you just simply keep the right way and push over the joint. no need to remove the outer cv joint to place a boot on the inner.

So, how do you negotiate all the fixtures on the drive shaft, without removing it, if the CV joint is one piece?
Sounds like a job for Paul Daniels or maybe David Blane on a good day.;)

If the CV boots are split, get it done asap or else the CV joint will seize and you will need doing aswell

I replaced my CV joint and boot in the comfort of my driveway

cost me a total of £34.99

How could Kwik Fit have damaged the CV boots, aside from deliberately?

Never trusted them since they tried to con me into having shock absorbers all round on my company Vauxhall Carlton 25 years ago.

Got mine done (1 side only) under warranty by Vauxhall dealer, Corsa was just under 3 years old at time, low, low mileage.

i wouldnt trust quick fit to change a house hold light bulb and if they tried it would take four of the engineers to do so!!!!

They would phone you up to say:
1. Your house needs rewiring
2. Your ceiling was aready falling down! :rotfl:

a quick fit local to me wrote off a customers car, aparently the car was only in for wipers and tyre changes, the owner left it there as she had to work, funny enough the car wasnt wrote off in the centre but 4 miles away! figure that one out?

heard lots of horror stories when i was in the motor factors trade god they used to buy parts from my ex employer as they are IFA registered, they never bought good decent pads or discs or exhausts but the cheap n nasty's in wich we had to buy in from other suppliers as we didnt stock the low quality items.

how can you say kwik fit and engineers in the same sentence beggars belief:rotfl:

with shafts that has the rubber bell on them here what you do:

1 do as described above but with cv right way out till boot is on the shaft big end faceing away from you.

2. then put separate cone cut allong its lengh wrap around the rubber bell( small end faceing you) super glue two-three little blobs and stick the cut ends together at top and bottom let two seconds to dry pull the boot onto the cone like in stage one pull over the bell and slide onto inner C.V tug the superglued cone to break the glued parts to remove cone.

dont have to be david blane or paul daniels just a bit of common sense and imagination dont need to be a magician !
