jimmygixer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Im going to renew my outer cv boot. Any tips on easiest way? Should I do it on the car or fully remove axel and clean out joint? Also need torque settings for hub nut Track rod bolt Lower strut bolt Roll bar link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If the joint is still ok (ie, not full of water and grit!) then I'd use a stretch boot, saves having to dismantle everything and get CV grease everywhere lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have it nearly stripped. Need the torque settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ah ok, fair enough! I've got a Haynes sat next to me but it's for the Mk2, not sure if the torque settings will be the same I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Iirc the front hub nuts on the mk1 should be about 320Nm I wouldnt worry with torque settings for the other bits just do them up tight. EDIT - 316Nm, I have just checked autodata to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Maybe too late now but with some of Ford's driveshaft boots it's actually cheaper to buy the kit what does inner and outer than it is to buy the outer alone ;) The place which replaced the outer boot on my ST had loads of inner boots spare that they couldn't give away :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
