Ripped CV Boot

[NicB.]

Can anyone can give me info on replacing a ripped Outer CV Boot - I would really appreciate it. Any diagrams or places on the net I can get pics and or a process of how to do it, what tools I need, etc. would be super.

Thanks,

NicB.

1- remove the cotter pin and the nut at the end of the axle
2-remove the 14 nut from the sway bar link where it attaches to the strut.
3- remove 10mm bolt that holds the abs wire on the inner fender( this will allow you to move the strut out without breaking the wire.
4- remove the 2 17mm nuts and 1 bolt underneath the lower control arm.
5-Pry on the end of the lower control arm ans separate the control arm from the strut.
6- pry the inside of the cv axle out of the transaxle
7- remove the rings that hold in the inner boot first
