Re: Ball & trunion boot replaced !!

[gerry peters <gpeters35@xxxxxxx>]

i installed a Dorman 614 002 universal c v boot kit
the big end fits perfect
the small end has to be stretched a lot
stuff the entire boot through the trunion
do it on warm day or with a heater blowing on driveshaft
the boot is not rubber but a silicone
had to buy a boot clamp tool for $10
even looks like the factory piece other then the grey color
