you need to remove the hub from the cv joint then cut the old one off. buy a universal cv boot kit and rent a fitting cone from them. most spares shops will have them, but you wont do the job easily without the cone. warm the boot up in warm soapy water then slide it on the thinner end of the cone. slide it along the cone inside out until POP ! it goes onto the driveshaft. then you just peel it back into position and cable tieit up. should take arond half an hour from start to finish each side, but if your a novice it could take upto an hour and a half. cheers, jay
