Post Re Booting Annular Drive Axles / Joints

Yep ;

It's time consuming but not difficult at all .

You remove _one_ joint to install both boots, a special typ of pliers is helpful to crimp the new clamps but back in my Dealer days I did plenty with a pair of Dykes, just be careful and pay attention .

I was working on my Wagon to - day and see the original Homeokinetic boots are cracking, time to go find some more Annular axles in the junk yard and order in some factory boot kits .
