#1: replacing cv boots and lower wishbones.. Author: stu_gti180, Location: TeessidePosted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 2:27 pm ---- Im looking at replacing both outer cv boots and both lower wishbones.... has anyone replaced these, and are there any awkward bits I should be aware of before I get the old tools out?

but thats my view you my find it easier to replace the boots,
make sure you have the right tools before you start and you will be fine a few hours work at most if you take it easy, you cant really go wrong

Author: spud_owen, Location: ashby de la zouchPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 5:42 am ---- lower wish bones are not that difficult really, quite time consuming, getting the old pin out is a b***h, and then getting the new wishbones back in can be abit tricky. a mate and a big bar for leveridge is a good help to, oh and the drive shaft on the passenger side wanted to constatly fall out on mine!
