I did my first reboot yesterday at home of an inner cv joint on a L series front axle that's attached to an EA82T brumby. I'm quite chuffed that it turned out a good job. I was thinking about getting some spare gear (Boots etc) and start doing a few when they bust myself to save a few quid.
I've no doubt that the heat from the turbo exhaust is causing some problems.
It has been shielded and covered but needs more I think, !!!
Anyone tried these boots...Claims long life and heat resistant

good stuff mate, very satisfying hey

never even seen those boots before.
they sound interesting!
my wagon is about to blow an outer front cv joint(very very clicky), im thinking about buying a whole shaft off ebay for only $95....dunno if it'll last tho.

I think a few blokes have had trouble from CV's bought off ebay. There is a thread here somewhere on the board about it.
No, I was really happy about it. Thy are not as complicated as I thought but I need to invest in a few decent tools I think!

Those boots look like they would be worth a try. No mention of price and i couldn't see the condition of the lifetime warranty.

i wouldnt bother with those boots.
all they are is a 'stretch-to-fit' and are already around.
probably cost alot more and it wont exactly save any time on install in an Lseries or MY as its very easy to pull a shaft out with the right tools.
