Those were the same type holders I tried yesterday, couldn't get them to fit with the two metal prongs on top, cut those off and they fit but don't work. Are they polarity sensitive?

thanks

Take the hub off and pull the drive shaft out. Strip the CV joint re grease and fit new boot. Fit a new oil seal. Nice simple job if you know what you are doing, bastard if you don't.

Never heard of those but just watched a demo video. What a bloody waste of time they are, easier and quicker to strip the CV joint and fit a proper one than to go through all that crap.
 
Forgive me for asking, but last time I had a vehicle that failed 'cos the cv boot was leaking .. I just cut off the boot and fasteners and it passed! Told when it's on it has to be good, if it ain't there it can't be failed on!

Will have to remember that one as comical as it is. If your car has high emissions remove the exhaust system so they have nowhere to stick the test meter probe in, sounds reasonable to you does it? Maybe a problem with the check if any part of the system is missing bit though, but it won't fail emissions that's for sure. The gaiter has to be present and in good condition. :D:D:D

Thought it should be so .. but it happened!

On my sisters Mondeo about 5 or more years ago, we just removed the gaiter completely and it sailed through at the same test centre.
