replacing the grease in a cv boot

[kmak577]

My cv boot popped off as the clip broke, so just gonig to slap a jubilee clip on it, but will any old grease do to refill it with or is it a specialist one?

Clean all the old shit contaminated grease out with wd40 or brake cleaner then use a good quality cv grease normally blue or red.

dont use a jubilee clip, use a decent cable tie or a proper CV boot clip.

CV grease is normally dark grey or green.

Put a new boot on as well whilst your there.... Might as well and the old boot will be knackered now its fallen off...

Yeah whats wrong with a jubilee clip? They are better than a cable tie!

I put a jubilee clip on my CV.. it cut through what was left of the CV boot lol.

I'll try cable ties next time :y:

All sorted, now I have to see if the damn thing will stay on, thanks for the advice guys

This has happened to both my front CV boots, the solution my dad managed to get working was to use a big cable tie, and also some strong glue to help keep the cv boot in place.

One of them has been in place for 2 years now never fallen off :y:
