I was trying to replace the strut on my 1997 1.6 fiat bravo and while I was trying to get the wishbone ball joint out I pulled out the driveshaft from the gearbox and oil came out. This happened because stupid me released the bolts in the engine compartment that made the Strut loose. This meant than when I broke the ball joint free the shaft popped out. Mistake!! Once I placed the draftshaft back into the gearbox and put the inner boot back on the oil stopped leaking. I am worried incase I have damaged any seals in the gearbox but when I checked the manual it didn't mention a seal for the 1.6 model. Do I just use a cable tie to fasten the boot back on? Can I use a jubilee clip? Also can anyone give me advice in removing the outer CV joint? I am trying to replace the boot and it mentions I must use circlip pliers? Is there another way around this? Thanks
