First off, found a small hole in rear inner boot. No prob. Well, we ordered a new boot kit. Got it open and realized the clamps that they sent are total junk. If you don’t have the 30.00 tension tool, forget it. We tried to put it on, and the two arms that you press down to secure the clamp popped right back up. Junk.

Use industrial zip-ties, they hold tighter. Also didn’t realize that the joint end does not come off! So we had to heat the boot with a hair dryer, grease it and invert it to stretch it over the joint, then slide joint and balls over the boot as well. What a pain in the Arse.
We ordered the CV guards from EMP to prevent anything from getting @ the boots again. You almost have to take tires off the rear end to get them on, but not on the front. They fit pretty nice, only the front bolts are not long enough, we had to use our own bolts.
Just a note I have seen boots that are seamed and glue together after installing, anyone used any of those?
