Hi, can someone go thru a step-by-step replacement of the CV front boots on a Scrambler 500? And any special tools and difficulty?

Thanks Paul

 

It is not difficult to change a cv boot you can do it using normal tools and a little skill.
Suspend your quad and remove the wheel.
Remove the 2 rings that hold the boot on (if you don't have the proper pliers you can use needle nose pliers.
Remove the cotter pin and the large castle nut.
Remove the 2 bolts that hold the upper and the 2 bolts that hold the lower A arm to the hub assembly.
Once the bolts have been removed pull the metal bushing out about 1/4" to clear the hub. Remove the hub.
Suspend the drive shaft and slide the cv boot back towards the transmission so the cv can be seen. Carefully clean the grease off from where the shaft enters the cv, there is a snap ring there and it needs to be spread to remove the cv.
Now that the cv is off make sure it is clean and well lubricated. It is time to remove the old boot and install the new one.
Reverse the order to assemble.
