    Ird symptoms?

    stuck trying to change cv joint gaiter, step by step help required

    It failed its MOT on the gaiter being perished so thats why im in this position. Think I might just have to give in and take it to the garage, don't want to cause more problems. Nodge do I need to split the cv from the shaft to do the gaiter?
