Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • inner CV boot replacement

    as the title says, i need to replace one of the inner boots on my(son's) cabby.
    is there anything unique in the procedure, i understand the outer cv has to be
    pulled apart first. iv'e googled and searched the forum, but can't find any info
    on inner ones.

    The inner CV is pretty simple. Just unbolt the splined bolts that hold it to the drive flange. You will then need to either unbolt the balljoint so you can swing the hub out and drop the driveshaft or take the whole drive shaft out.

    Once you have the inner CV dangling from the car or out on the bench, just undo the circlip that holds the joint to the shaft and bobs your uncle.
