Lift the right or left front wheel depending on which CV boot you want to remove.
-
Place jack stands under the car to secure it.
-
As you can see, my CV boot is leaking a little!
-
What is circled in red is the lower ball joint bolt completely submerged in grease.
-
In any case, always have the RTA with you so that you can then reassemble the car to the correct tightening torques.
-
-
-
First, we will remove the hub nut.
-
To do this, you need to block the hub (using a homemade tool), and unscrew the nut (it is quite hard because it is tightened to 25kg!)
-
ATTENTION: DO NOT USE the brake pedal to block the wheel as this may damage the brakes! -
Note: Your nut may be blocked by 2 small lugs, so you will have to tap a little in the other direction to be able to loosen it.
-
-
-
Unscrew the lower ball joint nut
-
Leave the nut at the end of the screw so that you can tap on it and dislodge the screw.
-
Do not tap directly on the end of the screw to avoid damaging the thread.
-
-
-
Use a chisel to help spread the ball joint housing apart.
-
Then use an iron bar to move the arm and remove the kneecap.
-
The ball joint is removed from the bottom.
-
-
-
All that remains is to remove the universal joint on the hub side by moving it aside
-
...and remove it from the box side.
-
There are no screws on the box side, the universal joint is just fitted.
-
ATTENTION: There will be a little oil that will flow! Have a container ready.
-
-
-
Cut the old bellows to remove it completely.
-
Here we see that it is the necklace that broke.
-
-
-
A cone will be used to be able to pass the bellows through the universal joint.
-
Before putting the bellows on the cone, it must be turned over.
-
-
-
Once the bellows is turned inside out, place it in hot water to soften it.
-
On the cone, put some jack oil or another oil to help with the passage.
-
Lock the cardan on the other side because you will need to push very hard to be able to reach the top of the cone!
-
-
-
Remark: The photos are of the bellows change on my Clio but the method is the same as the 106. -
Once the new bellows is on, you have to turn it over to put it in the right direction.
-
Once put in the correct direction, you can cut/adjust the length of the bellows.
-
-
-
Put all the grease provided into the bellows tripod.
-
Return the bellows to its final position.
-
Tighten with the clamps on each side of the bellows.
-
-
-
To reassemble the universal joint, simply do the operations in reverse order.
-
Remark: Normally you will not need to top up the gearbox oil level, but if you have lost too much oil, do it again.

Hello, what is this famous homemade tool? Is it essential? Because I'm not sure I have what it takes to
Hello!
You can see it in the photo, it's a Y that allows you to put two wheel screws in, and to press on the ground with the 3rd side, like that it doesn't force on the brake or elsewhere, just on the hub.
Afterwards, you can also take a mason's clamp and make 2 holes to put the screws in the hub, and press the clamp on the ground.
There may be other solutions but you must not release while pressing the brake!
Good evening !
