Need to remove the driveshaft.

So you need to undo the hub nut think it a 30mm 12 point socket.

Rubber mallet to knock the driveshaft out the hub.

Undo the 3 balljoint bolts on the hub M8 bolts 13mm socket so that you can swing the hub out the way.

Then either M8 or M10 spline socket to remove the 6 bolts on the gearbox.

Think its just a circlip then to remove the cv joint to get the old boot off.

Gloves are a must as the grease gets everywhere!

Make sure the new boot is rubber and dont buy from GSF :lipsrsealed: They dont last long.

Ill see if I can find a guide
