After removing the knuckle and the old boot, for the life of me I can't see how to disassemble the cv joint to slide on the new boot. I'm hoping I don't have to do it from the inside! How do I do it? 99 Auto Sportage.

[Re: BAZINGA] #1070525 04/04/14 08:11 AM Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 167 Denmark, Western Australia BAZINGA OP Wheeler Well, after a restless night I got up this morning with a clearer head. According to kiatechinfo.com you can't disassemble the cv joint on the wheel side. YouTube to the rescue. All I had to do was tap the back of the cv joint with a hammer and of it came off. Then slip on the boot, tighten the strap. Fill the cv joint with the grease in the kit. Work the grease in by moving the cv around. Put the cv back on the drive shaft and tap it back on with a hammer. There you go. Overall it wasn't too hard. 99 Auto Sportage.
