So i just picked up my car from gettin the front wheel bearings replaced, and the mechanic said i need a front CV boot on the passenger side. I've done some searching on 6GC and haven't reall found much about it. Does anyone know if there is a how to on here that i could use to do it myself Im kinda short on cash and can't afford to pay someone to do it for me.
Also, Would it be best to use the OEM boot or should any CV boot be alright to use?

OEM boot. just get a whole new axle.
its easy as pie: -lift car -take off wheel -loosen you balljoint -im sure you have to drain your tranny not sure though -there's a bracket that's holding the axle with 2 bolts IIRC -remove those bolts -then go back to the wheel hub and remove the pin and shield, then loosen the big axle nut i think its 30mm?? (i forget, but im gonna take off mines soon also) -remove nut and push the axle out of the hub, you will have to lift the wheel hub towards you while pushing on the axle to remove it from the hub -after all of that the axle should just pull right off to install reverse the steps -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
