Default xc90 V8 drive shaft

Hi, I changed the wishbone bushes for the powerflex ones, but when putting it back together again i nipped the outer gaiter on the drive shaft on the right hand side. Can the gaiter be replaced without taking the drive shaft out? Thanks Ian

Rubber gaiter? Try repairing it with a bicycle puncture repair kit.

You can get stretchy ones that fit over the CV joint but they're mostly crap...

You can also remove the CV joint and do it that way without removing the whole driveshaft.

I have also had success with a wetsuit neoprene patch (2mm one) and some neoprene cement, usually in a kit. just make sure you clean carefully with brake cleaner before applying the patch. My issue was on a Clio on one of the "v" sides of the gaiter rather than the bottom or top of the folds. It worked for several years.

Hope it helps.

Ian, if you can get to it easy enough...give the Rubber a good clean with Meths and then seal the split with some decent Super Glue.

Rubber n Superglue were made for each other...lol

Hi, I have fitted two split boot gators first one leaked straight away, the second was fine until i drove on the motorway, only about twenty miles, when i got back i checked it and it's leaking a little. In the meantime i'm going to clean it and try some glue. But i want to do it properly, does anybody know how i can get the CV joint off without taking the driveshaft out. Thanks

Best to take the driveshaft out. It's only a couple extra bolts (holding the driveshaft bearing), and you will probably need to clamp it to get the CV off. It can be fairly tight.
