Split CV boot kit?
Does anybody make a front CV split-boot kit -- two halves that bolt together -- so you don't have to take everything apart? On a previous car many years ago, maybe a FWD Buick Skylark, I found one and it was an easy DIY repair.
thanks,
thanks,

I heard of them but have not seen any. There are a few issues with those kind of kits. And they will not last long. So i suggest do it once and do it right. Whats the year make model of the car?

Trust me, go with a solid boot.
I tried the split (quick) boot on the Elantra a year back and it was a total failure because the solvent that suppose to "weld" the halves together caused the rubber to crack right away when trying to tighten the clamp around it.
By the way....I followed the assembly/installation instructions to a T.

I ended up replacing the CV axles when changing the faulty transmission.
