Driveshaft gaiter change

[jay s]

right was working under the car today and noticed what looked like grease on the inside of the front left wheel, took the wheel off to find the whole area covered in black grease :evil: looked at the driveshaft gaiter and its split in about 3 places, 1 is hugh and it seems to have emptied the grease over everything :D now whats the best way of changing them, is it an easy 5min job ? or should i try and get another driveshaft to fit? need to get this done sharpish as im doing cadwell next tues and need it sorted before then.

Look in the guides section JAY ! :wink:

fairly easy job that mate. will need to remove driveshafts i think so if its passenger side then you'll need gearbox oil as well.
