Subject:      CV boots again.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8


I think I take out an axle to change a CV boot about 4 times a year. 


        I’m happy to work on my bus but it is crazy to put in so much effort just to keep changing a ripped boot.  


Anyone found any boots that actually last yet? 


Or is there anyone selling an automatic driver side Axle with boots and joints ready to install?  Then I can have my spare ready to go. 


I’ve not yet tried to remove the CV joint solo but I will practice on my spare Standard axles and then do the automatic.  But, a full axle set up like on the standards would be great. 


Or someone got a set of Auto axles I can get so I can prepare mine in advance and do quick changes like I can with the standard transmission. 



Fingers crossed for a miracle and a ready to go Auto axle. Or, at least some new lasting CV boots.
