To replace a CV boot on a vehicle there are basically 3 options available:
Option 1 REPLACE WITH A STANDARD CV BOOT
Advantage: High quality boot and long lasting repair. Disadvantage: Requires a CV joint to be removed from the shaft and often the shaft having to be removed from the gearbox. This can often be quite a time consuming repair.
Option 2 REPLACE WITH A STICK-TOGETHER CV BOOT
Advantage: Quick repair. Disadvantage: In practice it is almost impossible to maintain enough cleanliness to successfully glue together the seam of the boot. This method is also unlikely to give you a long-lasting repair.
Option 3 REPLACE WITH A STRETCH CV BOOT
Advantage: High quality boot, long-lasting repair, much easier to fit than a standard CV boot. This is a method that many professional mechanics use due to cost and time saving advantages. Disadvantage: Requires either a fitting cone or air-powered tool to stretch the boot over the CV joint.
P&A Auto Products is a specialist company supplying cv boots and industrial quality items to the motor trade, general industry and selected car parts shops.
All the items on our internet listings are the exact same items that we sell direct to our motor trade and industrial customers and should not be confused with often unbranded, similar looking, sometimes cheaper, items of possibly inferior quality available elsewhere.
The Slide-a-Boot range of kits are often copied but seldom equalled.
The Slide-a-Boot range of cv boot kits were developed by P&A Auto Products, using the same high quality cv boots that we supply to the motor trade, and are unique in that they offer the competent DIY mechanic the same time and cost saving methods as used by many professional mechanics at an affordable price.
The main advantages of fitting a stretch CV boot are that the CV joint does not need to be removed from the drive shaft and the drive shaft does not need to be removed from the gearbox.
This Slide-a-Boot kit not only contains 2 high quality stretch boot kits but also the fitting cone.
The cone is of a quality whereby it would be able to fit several CV boots and therefore, as mentioned above, if you need to fit more boot kits we supply Slide-a-Boot CV boots without the fitting cone to enable you to save money. Extra boots to go with this kit are our medium size Slide-a-Boot CV boot kits. To order please see our other listings.
