You will have to take the driveshaft off first.

How would you remove the inner boot otherwise? can you get 2 piece kits?

sarcasm dude

But the bit that is ment say how to remove inner cv joint from driveshaft says no information avalable at time of writing the book.

U mean the tricky bit is getting shaft out off inner cv joint or out of swvel hub asembly?

[AudiA8Quattro]

I found getting the driveshaft out of the hub the trickiest part.

[leegt5]

Had a nightmare getting mine out of the hub to change the offside inner CV boot like yours !!

[stainesy]

Ok so what new bits will be require when I do this? New gaskets or circlips needed?
Obviously a new boot and grease.
What els will I need?

[AudiA8Quattro]

You should get everything you need in a new boot kit.
