Jaxxx Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi Welding iis done and I finally got round to doing the outer CV boot (Mk1 1.6 Focus 04) for it's MOT, I want to change the boot with the shaft still on the car so the question is... is there a circlip holding the cv joint or can it just be tapped off?. Everything is disconnected and cleaned up but it's not easy to see while on the car. Cheers for the help John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Get a stretch fit boot and a fitting cone, simple. But yes, there is a circlip and giving it a few sharp whacks will knock the joint off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just now, iantt said: its hammer time. lol Not enough room to get a 14 pounder in though, not without collateral damage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxx Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks for that, had to leave it for today but will get back to it over the weekend (weather was amazing up here today, wished I had it in bits outside and not in the shed for once!)

Jaxxx Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 I cleaned the CV up today and can't see any way to get at a circlip, or did you mean I could hammer it off without releasing the clip? I might pick up a stretchy boot tomorrow anyway but would like to know in case I need to change the joint sometime. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
