VW Replacing the CV boots

This week I replace 30+ year old CV boots from the early bay.
After removing the old drum brakes I planned to replace the CV boots and check the CV joints. Without resistance the job is impossible.
Now with the rear brake rebuild done I can finally replace the CV boots. Fortunately the CV joints look good so after a clean up and some fresh grease they can go back onto the van along with a new set of CV boots.
In this video I am replacing the CV boots on a 1971 volkswagen t2.

Good thing you caught your mistake when reassembling the CV joints, I was shaking my head when you put the first one back together. But I feel you should have mentioned exactly what you did wrong, then shown how you corrected the issue.
Also, I believe the chamfered edge of the inner race should be positioned toward the axle, not toward the case, as it gives the axle just a bit more range of outward pivoting motion without it making contact with the race.
Good video, thanks for sharing.
