Boot Hints:

1) Use aerosol Carburetor or Brake Cleaner (with straw) to flush out old grease and contaminates from a CV joint. Allow the joint to dry before packing with new CV grease. Follow all safety precautions listed on the can including the use of safety glasses.

2) Do not use WD-40 or similar product to clean a CV joint because it will leave a residue when it dries. This residue will negatively affect the new CV grease.

3) A properly tensioned clamp will be tight enough so the CV boot will not turn on the joint, but not so tight that it will pinch and damage the boot.

4) You will probably not use all 80 grams of CV grease included in a Fast-Boot kit. Fill the joint and save the balance for other uses including wheel bearings. Other boot kits may recommend that you fill the CV boot with grease. This does not apply to a Fast-Boot.

5) CV grease applied to the exposed portions of the CV joint (including bearings) will quickly migrate throughout the working components of the joint when the axle begins to rotate.

6) If the boot slides off the joint during installation it is usually because there is CV grease on the inside of the boot and outside of the joint. Wipe the grease off of both. Trapped air will also cause the boot to slip off. Release air with a screw driver.
