Cv boot Help please

[subaru-mania]

my cv boot is split, the outer boot on drivers side Hub, Got a big drive on Sunday so i wana get it sorted, Ill grab a boot kit tomorrow, Whats the best way to attack it? i want to leave the Axel in the car, whats the trick to get the cv head off the Axel? presume theres some sort of clip? A quick rundown on this would be awesome.

its a 1992 vz legacy 2l N/A

Remove axle is the easiest way

yeah second thoughts will most likely do that, How big is that center Nut at end of the Axle the 1 thru center of the hub?, as il have to buy a socket as my set only goes to high 20s, and it looks like a 30 or higher, and once i got the axle out how does the outer cv come out? is there a clip?

Can't remember if it is a 32 or 34 mm but i believe it is 34mm

remove nut before jacking wheel up....

jack up car and put axle stands under the chassis behind the front wheels (wheels need to hang)

Remove road wheels,undo the 14mm headed bolt holding the bottom ball joint on

punch tension pin out from inner CV joint,close to gear box,

Lever bottom arm from hub assembly,pull hub assembly away from car to give you enough room to remove inner CV from gearbox spline,punch the outer shaft thru the centre of the hub..

remove inner CV by removing boot,then split ring holding the inner to the outer housing,pull the CV and axle out,remove the circlip from the end of the axle shaft,remove the CV,slide the inner cv boot off,

remove outer CV boot,clean outer CV,regrease with new grease,fit outer CV boot,fit inner Cv boot to axle,regrease inner CV,put back together in reverse of the way u tokk it apart
