ive torn my cv boot on the right fornt side of my 800 just below the clamp. can i get away with just putting another clamp over the tear?is it hard work to change it your self or should i spend the ( most likely hundreds of dollars) for the dealer to do it? dam just when i thought i could afford my new tires.

thanks for all the help [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

if you tore the boot, then replace it as water and mud, or dirt will kill the cv joint fast. the clamp sets in a little groove so moving it would be reather diffecult. you need a good clamp tool to replace it to put it back on and the boot is $30.00 and up.

 

thanks stendori just got of the phone with the dealer and they said 3 hours at $80 an hour plus $45 dollars for the boot kit. so ill buy the boot kit and do it myself . never done it before but i dont imagine i could be that hard , one thing though the boot is torn close to the wheel , once i get the hub assembly takin off is the cv going to slide out of the diff without having to take the othe boot of? no what i mean? hope i said it right

 

did you tear the inside boot(towards the engine) or the outside by the wheel? if its the outside one then you dont have to mess w/ the inside boot at all. if thats what you mean.
