This is such a good tutorial video! You are so good at explaining ALL of the steps in detail while still keeping it brief and to the point. EVERYTHING on my car is seized SOLID and I have been fighting with wheel bearings and front end suspension/steering for over a WEEK now! What a pain in my a**!!!!! The last thing I want to do is disassemble ANOTHER seized part so I can break something else in the process lmfao After watching this video I'll be stretching the boot on myself instead of paying a garage hours of labour to disassemble everything and replace it. So thank you!! Just gained a subscriber for sure!
Thanks! Glad if it helps 😊👍
Excellent instructional video. No unnecessary yammering. Thank you!
You're welcome 👍
Cheers mate that made me feel a lot more confident about doing the job thank u so much for the video
Cars are easy 👍
If you have trouble locating a Plastic Cone, like in the video, from your local motor factors/Halfords etc, XXL Butt Plugs from Ann Summers work just as well.
Must be XXXXL 😁
Very well explained. I think ANYONE can now change the CV joint on their own.
Thanks, Ken! Cars are easy. I am trying to prove that with my content. 👍
@@wawayltd I’m going to find a reason to change my CV joints now. Lol
Well explained and very informative. Will have to invest in one of those cones and use universal gaiters in future. Thanks for taking the time to film. All the best Pete 👍
Thanks for watching!
very well explained .. who wants to help himself should follow you ... keep it up and best regards from germany

The tube is a must I think, I've just split the rubber.....
Ops... Sorry to hear that.
@@wawayltd yes, me too, I'll get the tool and another one, lesson learnt
Thank you sir
You're welcome Trevor 👍
Hi nice video thanks. Whats your opinion on the universal split boots. you dont have to take anything off the car and just glue together.
I've never tried one. If you try - please let me know how it went..
CV Joint Boot Gaiter Kit
What size bolts did you use to replace the rivets. I can’t get the ball joint off and would like to take those rivets out. Thanks
It was pain in a bottom to remove those rivets, using drill, grinder, chissel, hammer and a ton of swearwords - we did it! I think we used 13mm bolts with 8mm thread.
@@wawayltd much appreciated. Thank you. Nice vid
Just wondering if you use cable ties will it pass a MOT in the uk ??
Yes, it passes MOT, there is no strict rule on that. Although, looking back, I would recommend to use those metal stripes if you can.
thank you for the post great video.would i need wheel alignment after this? ford mondeo mk4 petrol owner
You're very welcome 👍 No, you don't need alignment, because your steering and rest of suspension remain unchanged.
@@wawayltd thank you for replying and the video
La ce cuplu de strangere ai strans surubul de la planetară?
Vă mulțumesc!
Is this the same process for inner cv boot ?
Sorry, I don't have any experience with the inner.
Was it making any noises or was it just split?
No, just split.
I have a spilt, how long do you think I should wait to get it fixed?
It's hard to say, it all depends how big it is, how much you're driving, how dirty are your roads. Normally, it's not something you stop for and call recovery, but it must not be ignored - just replace it when you can.
@@wawayltd thank you!!!
@@wawayltd decided to bite the bullet and get a refurbished drive shaft.
All roads lead to Rome 😊
Not a big fan of the plastic zip tie..You have part. Do it right. No need to N-rig it.
You're right. Going back in time, I would use the metal strip. Although, if something has gone wrong with it, zip tie is not a big crime 😉
Cable ties aren’t strong enough,
I never had problem with them. I agree that metal clamps are better, but if you're using cable tie on the narrow side, it's not a big deal.

Exactly!
Im mechanic and i can tell u its not the proper way to put cable ties from rubber on a cv boot
Thanks, I know, it's not perfect, but it works.
Nothing quick or unique about this. Same process on all cars
I have a lots of non-unique videos on my channel. It's just meant for people who have no experience at all to give them confidence to start DIY-ing. I'm putting out a video about Ford rear brakes today - it's so boring, makes me sick 😁 But there will be plenty of people seeing it as a good guide... Maybe... Or maybe I should review my content..
WheelsAndMotors you content is fine it’s just how I read the title as “Quick way to” therefore was expecting a short cut.
Keep it up
I'll try my best 👍
@@wawayltd .
@@aqib2000 NGL this is quicker than other options such as removing the axle head and then replacing the gator that way instead of cutting, stretching and then refitting. No need to be mean, your comment was not valuable at all :)
Thank you, Excellent.
You're welcome 👍
