OP tigerbalm New CEG\'er T Joined: May 2006 Posts: 38	While pulling my tranny out i noticed that my CV boot on the right side is leaking out grease. Should i replace the whole things or since it is still not making any noise find a way to seal it and put grease back in it. If so what kind of grease and sealant or what is a good replacement CV. 98 CSVT Black

Buy a complete, one piece boot, and some of the OEM type snap-lock (crimp style) rings that secure the boot to the axle. Those split-boot (quick boot) POS's don't last for crap on 95 out of 100 users who get duped in to buying them. '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

You can't beat 80 shipped for a brad new, good axle. You spend more time replacing a boot, and depending how long the grease has been low...you may have a worn out joint anyway. A good boot usually costs 30 or so. 98 E0 SVT with some stuff
