Would appreciate any input on replacing the front outer cv boot on my 05 Eiger,is this a job best left to my local Suzuki dealer? or could a so-so mechanic handle it?.thanks for any help.

 

If you have the money to spend, let someone else do it. If you just like working on your quad, you can do it. You're going to get really greasy, and you're going to spend a few hours on it since it's your first time. Make sure you are VERY careful not to get ANY particles in the CV grease when you replace the boot. Also, spend a lot of time removing the old grease. It will have collected dust and abrasives if your boot was torn for more than a mile of riding. I recommend 2 cans of brake cleaner, or a solvent tank, brush, and compressed air.
