Drive shaft boot

[Dickie Dastardly]

I need to change the n/s outer drive shaft boot following it being punctured by a rogue plastic bottle outside Le Mans last week; has anyone done this? Where is the shaft split from?

Thanks
Richard

I'm halfway through the job, drive shaft out, cleaned and stripped, awaiting new boots (doing both ends since the shaft is out). Got a couple of good pointers from Richard at HHC who is always very helpful. In essence removed the cap screws at either end of the shaft, removed the lower inner wishbone bolts and lower shock absorber bolt; you have to pull the hub well out to get the driveshaft out. Unbelievably messy with grease but got there eventually.

Good effort, think I torqued my driveshaft cap screws to 45lbft as per the Sagaris book.
