The rubber part of the driveshaft assembly / CV Axle is known as the CV boot, which is secured with stainless steel clamps. We call it cv boot clamp. The purpose of CV boot is to protect the internal components of the CV joint by retaining the lubricant, and also acting as a dust shied.
Finally learned how to do this myself, so made a little “how-to-video”. Don’t make my mistake: Remember to drain the differential first, or it will leak out once you pull the axel. There are certainly more ways to do this, but please, any mechanics that care to comment, please add your pro-tips. Thanks. castli.
After a fresh axle grease has been applied, clamp and tighten the boots. Insert the axle bearing and lock in the ring clip.
