To remove the outer CV boot, start by removing the CV axle and mounting it in a vise lined with wood or rags to prevent damage. Cut off the boot clamps and pull the boot off the CV joint. Use a hammer and brass punch to drive the CV joint off the shaft. Then, use snap-ring pliers to spread open the retaining ring and remove it from the shaft. Slide the CV boot off the axle shaft. Next, for joint disassembly, inspection, and reassembly, use diagonal cutters to cut off the boot clamps. Knock the inner race down to remove a ball bearing, and pry the balls out of the cage one at a time. Tilt the inner race and cage 90 degrees, align the windows in the cage with the lands of the housing, and rotate the inner race and cage out of the housing. Clean the components with solvent and check for any damage or wear. To reassemble, lower the assembly into the housing, rotate it by tapping with a hammer and brass punch, and press the balls into the cage windows. For installation, slide the clamps and boot onto the axle shaft, install the retaining ring, and drive the joint onto the shaft. Apply CV joint grease to the assembly, housing, and boot, then slide the boot into place and tighten the clamps. Finally, install the CV axle. For the inner CV joint boot, remove the outer CV joint and boot, cut off the boot clamps, and slide the boot off the shaft. Clean the joint and inspect for wear. If necessary, replace the CV axle. If the joint is in good condition, slide the new boot and clamps onto the shaft, seat the small end of the boot into the groove on the axle shaft, and secure it with the clamp. Lubricate the joint and boot with CV joint grease. Install the boot on the CV joint housing, making sure it seats in the groove, and tighten the clamp. Finally, install the outer CV joint and boot, followed by the CV axle.
