Anyone replaced one of these. I need a source for a replacement boot for outer joint.

Thanks

I replaced one last year, it came as a kit with the boot, grease and both clamps. I'll warn you right now you need to different clamp pliers to install the boot so unless you plan on doing this more or like to accumulate tools just take it to a shop.

Inner or outer boot? I had an inner boot replaced (Warranty Direct) and that was $300.00. I also had an outer boot replaced and that was $110.00.

Local Chevy dealer or you can call Ken Fichtners or Fred Beans for a discount, just make sure you get the CV boot repair kit not just the CV boot and don't let the guy at the counter try to convince you that it's not sold as a kit because it is, they have to scroll all the way to the end of the parts section to see the service kits.

I did mine two weeks ago, got mine from the chevy dealer it was around $60 for the kit you do need the special tool to clamp the new bands on.

a new axle is about $200 last time i ck'd, might be a good idea to replace the entire axle if mileage is high or the seal has been torn for awhile

Everything is still in good shape. There was a 3/16 inch slit between the edge of the hub and the big clamp. Just enough grease came out to make a mess inside the wheel. The car is 8 years old so I'm going to do them all while I'm into it.
