Thread: Is this pass. axle salvageable? WITH PIC!

Pulled a passenger axle from the local u-pull yesterday. Noticed it when i pulled it off, but originally didnt care because I was going to use it as an exchange for an Autozone reman. one. But now I've got to thinking: is there a way to get a new boot on, and save this axle?

lol search button is your friend search for "axle boot"

It looks like the outer shaft was pulled out of the CV joint and caused suction to pull in the boot. You can just cut the large strap, separate the joint, inspect the bearings, refill with fresh axle grease and tighten down a new strap.

or just smack it with a hammer to pop it back in an call it good, but its a good idea to replace boots, so u dont have to doit later.. i've replaced all my boots
