Outer or inner?Morning All
MOT says CV boot deteriorated, is there an easy way of changing it or is it a pig of a job.
Cheers
I'll have to clamber under and take a look, outer hopefully by the sound of things.Outer or inner?
I can do an outer in 30 minutes, providing it all goes smoothly. The inner joint does take longer though, as it's more messing about, often involving draining the IRD/gearbox.
Unfortunately it's the inner thats worn so I assume a right Royal PITA to do. Any hints or tips greatly appreciated.Outer or inner?

Assume the drive shafts needs to come out to do this so gearbox oil drain down?It's a pain to do, because you have to take the outer joint off the shaft first, so you can slide the new boot all the way up the shaft. This means more stripping down, and replacing the outer boot too, as it's pointless not replacing it while it's off.
It is possible to do with the shaft in the box, but it's much easier to remove the shaft, so you can whack it hard enough to split the outer CV off the shaft. Replacing the boots is a 10 minute job, once the shaft is off and the outer joint has been removed.Assume the drive shafts needs to come out to do this so gearbox oil drain down?
