Mechanic just told me that both my front CV Boot is split and I would have to replace them.
Can I have a tutorial on how to go about it? it is a 98' non superstrut celica. |

ok....for as long as i've been working with toyota i've done a lot of cv boots. you need special tools for putting them on and taking them off. it's a 3 hour job for each side at toyota and to even think about replacing them without taking the axels out is a big no no. if your planning to do it yourself without the right tools you can forget it. this is no easy task since in order to replace those cv boots you have to take out the whole axel, have a axel pliers to make sure that they are tight enough to stay on and not rip the boots. be careful also you should drive around the block to listen to a clicking noise while your turning. and if you hear them you should just buy new axels since hearing them means your axels is beat up and won't last much longer. whatever you plan to do good luck. this is just my advice to you.
