My corsa needs 2 new cv boots for the MOT, Im thinking of getting split once so i dont have to take the shaft out, are the split cv boots any good and are they easy to fit ?

i work at a garage on saturdays and never seen split boots
normal boots are easy to fit and dont have 2 take the driveshaft out..
im guessin that normal boots will be better than split ones..

usually about £10 for a pair of boots..
if your doing the job yourself.. fitting cones are always useful
ebays the best place for doing it yourself

It will be alot easier to do the cv boot while the shaft is out then split the cv from the shaft and slide it on

if you want to make it easier for your self.
just pulls out, literally 5 seconds.
