I did not realise that it is pretty difficult. However, should be done tomorrow and at least then I know how to do it next time

We got it off, fitted the boots on and everything got it back together but just could not get the outer clamp to hold the outer boot on. We thought it was tight enough but a short drive proved wrong.

Had to leave this one up to the licenced mechanic as we ran out of time. I'm sure with more time we would have got it all sorted out.

I think half our problem was we though we had to fit them whilst they were on the car but afterwards we realised we could have done it all with the shaft out.
