The cost for boot kit & tools: about $65 Posted by John Fitzgerald [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Get a whole new shaft....., Abusot, Mon, 8 Sep 2008 12:31:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
from eEuroparts. Plus an outer axle nut, which you'd need whether you did the boot or the whole axle. I think that was another $4.59.
The clamp pliers will be handy on other jobs. The outer CV [axle spline] 'puller' [really a 'pusher'] hopefully won't be needed again for a while.
I did feel fairly confident that if I did it again, using the 'take the whole thing out' method from the start, I'd be able to slide the joint apart. From what I've read, the complete axle size/quality has issues from some sources, but the eEuro version is good [and fits right the first time].
Yeah, it's starting to sound like an infomercial. Hey, I do buy stuff from other advertisers on the site: Tire Rack, State of Nine, GenuineSaab, Townsend, etc. But eEuro = by far the favorite. When we start getting more than one box/week from them, though, my wife starts to wonder ...
You'll have to email me for my favorite two sources for used parts [hint: they advertise in Nines; ones in MN, the other in OK]. Keeping the fleet going for as long as possible - and my son & I just finished his heater core/blower motor on his 97 CSE this afternoon without breaking anything or cursing even once.
