me and the wife were just riding in the creek and when we got back i saw that the clamp that holds her front cv boot to the axle was loose so does that boot need filled with grease before
I retighten the clamp or should i just tighten up the clamp?

 

Well, that is a tough call, water could have gotten in there, if you seal it up the water will stay in and could cause damage. The warm fuzzy thing to do is remove the grease and repack it!

 

id take it all apart and redo it. theres no guarantee you dont have crap inthere and before long bearings are goin and causing all kinds of problems

 

i would say you have a 100% chance of having water in the boot if the clamp came off for sure.

 

I popped it open and yep there was water in the so I wiped it out and sprayed some wd 40 in there to get rid of all the water im going to let it sit over night and repack it in the morning
I guess that I just put as much grease as I can in the bearings right I don?t fill the boot or anything?

 

you dont need to fill the boot up.just put as much as you can in the bearing area. side note; if you have to buy some get marine grease it helps just in case it gets wet to provide better break down protection from the water. by the way, it didnt start clicking by any chance did it?

 

yeah i always use marine grease and no it dident start clicking. but my sportsman does when i turn

 

one more ? will hose clamps work for resealing the boot or should i get there clamps?

 

personally i would stay w/ the stock clamp as theres less to catch on and i beleave it would stay tighter.
