Rick W Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Changing the cv boot on the front of the Champ, despite having 3 very hefty manuals, not one of them covers the boot replacement. Any advice appreciated, especially things like torque settings, if any. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Rick, We did this job, it is possible to disconnect the top joint, swing the hub out the way, replace the gaiter and then reconnect it, but we found it much easier to take it all to bits in the logical order and then put it back in reverse. Start at the front, undo everything in order and you can't go too far wrong. We did have a problem getting the brakes to bleed after doing this so you might want to replace the cylinders etc while you've got it all to bits. You can use Series 3 LWB (I think) front cylinders but you have to modify them slightly by grinding a lug off. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 That all sound very simple, but not when you look at it when its up in the air. You havent got a exploded diagram or a maintenance section for that have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
