I was unable to slide the axle out from the hub together with the outer CV joint. I would like to clean these and repack with grease. I found also that the brand new inner rubber boots have a far inferior collar so that the DiFatta supplied collars do not adequately clamp them. I have refitted the old boots tightly with the new collars as they show very little wear and are not being constantly flexed anyway. I will save the new boots until something goes wrong. The outer boots are totally disintegrated but fortunately no grit had found it's way into the CV joints. Locally I am unable to find anything that would work as a collar on these boots except the nylon "handcuff" ties. These are not a bad option as far as I am concerned. Have a very good week all....
