Technical Knoob question (CV related)

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Just brought a new CV joint for the Sisley from eBay. Going to be fitting it at college with one of the fitters as I haven't a clue what I'm doing with it

Been recommended to get replacement boot's. Now would these be inner or outter that I need

Will this do? ;http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/127-128-PANDA...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

Thanks

Jon, I would be inclined to change both of them while the driveshaft is all floppy, but do make sure you've got the right ones before you start dismantling, I bought some of fleabay a while back and they were wrong

You will need the inner ones and remember gear box oil will also come out when the drive shafts are removed. so get the correct gear box oil so you can re fill it on completion of the rubber replacements.

Both boots? So would I need an inner and outter or two inners

Thanks Allen. So what gearbox oil do I need for the Sisley peep's

The inner boot is the one at the gearbox, the outer at the wheel, so you'd want one inner and one outer. Its just my opinion, they will go eventually and bleed away your expensive gearbox oil, might as well do them while it's all apart.

You want a non EP oil Jon, the additives in EP oils damage the yellow metal bearings in Panda gearboxes.

Hmm... the link doesn't take you where it's supposed to, you want Classic/Transmission/Gl3 "Gear Oil 90"

I got mine from Woodcote Automotive 01606 836637. It's not cheap but it's cheaper than a gearbox rebuild.
