CV boot repair

[bee_are_bee]

I have sustained a small tear on the CV boot of the passenger side drive shaft. Looking for recommendations for shops that can replace the boots and not cost me an arm and a leg. I live in the Miracle Mile neighborhood but work in Culver City.


Cheers

It's worth the drive.

I just did mine last week.

If you're mechanically inclined and have an aircompressor to remove the axle-nut, I say do it yourself. It's almost the same as removing any other honda axle.

Follow Larry's steps here(http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/35795-Remove-rear-axles).

The hard part was the passenger axle has a heat shield with 3 10mm fasteners that you have to remove first.

You then need 2 pry bars at 180 degrees apart to pop both c-clips from the intermediate shaft.

Each boot kit at Acura is $30 each and was back ordered here in SD.

I dropped off the axle at my shop and they rebooted the inboard and outboard joints for $60 labor.

Be sure to take a picture of your camber bolt setting on the LCA.

The total job took me 6 hours.

I do have both CV boot kits but no air compressor to remove the axle nut.

Upon further inspection there is not a tear in the boot. I may look reuse the current boot, clean it, and repack it.
