In fact you probably wouldn't even need to drain and remove the axle from the differential...
Anybody use a tool like this?
BTW where did you get the brass punch from? |
I can't access U-tube, but I'll assume your clip shows the stretching-boot installation tool.
Some had problems with the softer aftermarket boots tearing, or the different design of those boots causing them to get pinched between the axle and the cans.
After attempting the tranny-funnel method, I decided not to waste any more time, and go with the CVJ rebuilts.
Some autoparts stores or places like Harbout Freight sell brass drifts. Maybe also Sears. Or you might be able to improvise something from some brass or aluminum pipe or rod.
Happy Motoring, Mark
