We found a bastard little hole in the CV gaitor over the inner side of teh drivers driver shaft after ****ing about with Manifolds(that prb put the hole there!). I have sourced a kit for replacing it, but is it difficult to do? I've been told to remove shaft, remove outer gaitor, remove inner gaitor, then put the new ones on. Sounds simple enough, anyone else tried it?

As posted on CS, ALOT easier to replqace the whole shaft, mine was £45 + vat from gsf, on an exchange basis

Not surefor the Williams, give then a ring and ask, amil order line is still open i think, price i quoted was for an RSi, which has a shorter shaft, just ask for a R19 16v shaft...might make it cheaper :lol:

eh? explain gibo! we need details. I still need to pack it with grease, then patch it up?
Did you do the inside or outsid of the gaitor? Was it Driveshaft side or hub side?

Only need to pack it wiht grease if its come out, will need to remove one end atleast to pack it wiht grease, and then just follow the instructions on the puncture repair kit

yeah fill it with grease.. ie top it up . then clean the rubber, dry it off then patch up, as per a bike puncture..
