Technical Uno Turbo inner CV boot replacement

[alexGS]

What a shame it is that I can't be bothered going out to my garage and replacing that inner CV boot on my Uno Turbo... (tomorrow morning I promise!)

I plan to jack up the suspension so that the driveshaft is straight, undo the six Allen bolts, and then -

- does anyone know if the joint comes off the flange sideways, or does the hub have to be disconnected so that the driveshaft can move outwards?

If the latter is true, I guess I shall unbolt the two strut bolts - hope this doesn't affect the wheel alignment I had set a couple of weeks ago.

You really need to remove the whole shaft to do the job. This means disconnecting the strut bolts. I always remove the strut too, Its only 3 nuts. The outer boot can catch easily on it.
