Anyone done this? Can't get the gaitor replaced. Can't go on from gearbox end as it would have to go over a thickened middle section and I can't see any way to get the CV joint off the shaft... anyone?

You need a big plastic cone, some lubricant and plenty of patience. French type CV boots are very, very stretchy, so you put the big cone over the outer joint and push the beggar over it. You can buy the cones from motor factors, but expect it to go snap! ping! boing! a depressingly huge number of times unless you are well practiced at forcing lubricated rubber over something 20 times its nominal diameter.

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

It's easy with the cone!
There will be a circlip on the end of the driveshaft, they're hidden in all the grease.
