Noticed yesterday when looking at the trackrod end on the N/S that there's a small split in the cv boot
Not sure what to do, i can either swop the driveshaft for another i have or put a new boot on. What do people think will be easiest. Dont really want to pull the driveshaft out the box as i have only just filled it up with oil. But i have never changed a cv boot before and it looks abit tricky to get the small end over the end of the shaft.

Does the outer part of the driveshaft come off the shaft?

if your not competent in changing a cv boot then just buy a complete shaft
costs range from £30 ish and is a straight out and replace although you probably want a driveshaft seal aswell
im just doing a cv myself which comes with a new boot for £17. Easy job just watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S-ofMoWsr0
goodluck

I wont be able to do it like that. I have just fit the engine and filled the gearbox up with oil. So I dont really want to have to drain it and buy new oil.
Ive done them before but have been off the car.
