my passenger cv joint boot is leaking, is there any way of just buying the boot and putting it on to replace the old one?

 

Yeah, but it's a real pita and isn't too much cheaper than a new axle.

 

Is it the inner or outer boot? The inner is SUPPOSEDLY easier. I'll find out when I do mine tomorrow.

 

thanks, i dont know which one it is, my boy was looking at it for me. its spittin grease out on the inner of my rim, so im guessing its the outter but i dont know.

 

if it's on the rim, it's the outer boot. and it ain't that hard to change.

 

so i can just go to honda and buy the outter boot?

 

yes. make sure they give you the grease too. just in case.

 

Sh1t, I need a bearing removal tool. This is gay...don't go to the dealer. They're going to charge you up the ass. Go to NAPA. Mine cost me $11.88 for boot, clamps, grease, etc etc

 

how much was it at honda....i get a discount just seeing if i can go with oem parts inset of NAPA, but if its cheaper what the hell.

 

The factory boot is not even a HONDA boot, I don't think. I didn't see any HONDA inscriptions. A boot is a boot.

Oh, and I never go to the dealer unless I can no way find it somewhere else. Dealer wanted 0.42 each for exhaust manifold nuts, hehe. I got mine for 0.08 each
