PLEASE HELP 98 RANGER OUTER CV BOOT
Hi to all. In process of changing outer cv boot on driver side. I have the spindle and shaft all ready seperated. How do I remove the cv joint off of the driveshaft in order to put new boot on. Thanks in advance.

remove the cv off the axle? use a small pry bar inbetween the axle and the cv or tap it with a punch and a hammer (better choice) its just a spring clip holding it in DO NOT PULL ON IT youll separate the rose buds
|
Your saying that the play in it right now is held on by an internal "hidden" spring clip. I hit on it pretty hard.
|
I just use a little pry bar and apply pressure and pull, all she wrote
|
I might be wrong but the only outer cv boot I changed I had to remove the inner cv boot & joint and slide the outer boot on then reinstall the inner cv.
|
Why not just replace the cv shaft?

When a tire shop tore the CV boot on my F150, I made them take the time replace the boot instead of swapping in cheapo stuff. |

Some people would rather keep the good OEM CVs than swap in some junk re-manufactured pieces. I haven't had the best of luck with re-manufactured CV shafts myself.
