| Post subject: | CV boot tear...repack and temp fix? |
Well crud, i think i got a small puncture on my drivers side inner cv boot from the lift install. There seemed to be some grease on the boot yesterday, none today. I can't see any tear, so it must be small. But I want to make sure I don't destroy the CV joint before i get a new boot. 1. is there a way to get grease into the boot with out taking everything apart? 2. and, i remember somebody did a temp fix on the boot to keep it from leaking, but i can't find the thread in a search. Is this possible? Will using some kind of spray on leak stuff work by any chance? thanks, bryan |

A grease gun with the accessory needle would allow you to pump it in the existing hole, just make sure the grease you use is recommended for CV joints.

If you are like me you will probably take that front end apart tweaking with the lift sometime so just replace it then. Until then just make sure its greased up good. |
