Consider rebuilt CV boots when replacing CV joints or boots to save time and effort. Check part costs and availability before starting. Remove and inspect the CV boot, checking CV joints for play and smooth operation. If a boot is torn, clean and inspect the joint. If undamaged, lubricate and install a new boot. For outer CV joints, discard old boot clamps, remove the boot, and clean the joint. Reassemble with tape, new clamps, and boot. For inner CV joints, if the boot is torn, the entire CV boot may need replacement. Check boot availability with local auto parts stores.
