300D Axelshaft Boot Replacement Question
I have a 1980 300D with cracked CV boots. I read all I could about refurbing them myself, but finally shriveled and took the shafts, with the appropriate boot replacement kit I got mail order from Mercedes Direct, to my local auto repair shop. These guys regularly replace CV boots, but called me today and said they could not do these because there is some sort of metal part that needs to be crimped on before the new boot is placed on. I believe they are talking about the can shaped part that is on the outside joint, which I did not realize needed to be replaced in order to replace the boot. Has anybody heard of this? These guys tell me that they think Mercedes Benz is probably the only shop that can do it.
