Anybody has done CV boot replacement on '98-'05 Sedona? I am gonna replace the driver-side boot by myself and would like to hear some successful DIY story and experience. Thanks.
inner or outer ?Basically the same as any other FWD car, jack up and support, loosen drive shaft nut, remove wheel, remove brake caliiper and disc, split track rod end balljoint and remove from hub, split hub from strut, remove drive shaft nut, manouvre driveshaft out of hub and pull driveshaft out of gearbox.remove boot clips, remove circlip from spider and remove, slide boot off, slide new boot on, pack with new grease and repeat all the above backwords. Usually takes me a couple of hours depending on nuts seized etc.Hope that helpsIain

Thanks, it is driver-side outer boot. Do I have to remove brake caliper and rotor?
