My driver's side CV boot is torn I think.
 Some pics are below.Is this a torn CV boot? If so, should I just replace that, or should I replace the whole axle? I absolutely hate pulling axles out and had issues with my axle not sealing at the tranny for a good three months last time my axle was pulled on the driver side.  So what do you guys think?

[right][snapback]315218[/snapback][/right] That's the Ingall's camber bolt.  Thanks for all the advice everyone.  I went ahead and ordered a rebuilt axle from this local place that has a very good reputation. It will cost $70 with the core discount and will be here tomorrow. I'm currently stuck on pulling the axle out of the tranny...I can't really find a way to get good leverage, but I think with two people we can somehow get it off. So when my dad gets home he's going to help me. I'm just hoping we don't damage the seal, because the AT200 C52 seals do not fit the AE101 C52 tranny. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I bought the ingalls ones and they stuck out like that, but they were wrong and i had to send them back. It is suppose to be all the way in, the actualy cam is not suppose to stick out (you shouldnt be able to see the cam when you look at it). OR, maybe yours are different or something. And good idea to replace the axle. Usually a ripped boot allows dirt to get in and can damage it. This doesnt happen all the time, but better safe then sorry. And there's usually like metal rivets, or grooves or whatever you wanna call them to use to punch the axle in and out with a chizel or whichever tool works or you have. At least this is how it was in the 3 or 4 cars i have worked on, including my Celica. Either way, good luck and hopefully everythign turns out well. |
