Default OK, did the other front outboard CV boot today.

Had done right, did the left today. This is the 3rd one I've done, I'm getting pretty good at it. Having a 5' piece of 1" galvanized steel pipe to add to a 1/2" breaker bar really makes it easy to get that 140 ft-lb plus 180 degrees onto the hub bolt.

Default Yup.

Like I said, you really need the cheater pipe.

I put my new 1/2" air hammer on it, just for grins, when I was pulling the old one off. Bolt laughed at the air hammer.

That bolt is part of a CV boot kit, and is replaced as part of the process, it is only to be used once (one tightening cycle).
