  • How to Repair a CV Boot on an ATV 4-Wheeler

    All-terrain vehicles rely on constant-velocity joints to ensure that power is evenly delivered to their wheels, regardless of the riding environment or steering inputs. The CV joints are protected by rubber boots that prevent dirt, rocks and other harmful debris from damaging the joints, as well as containing the grease that the CV joints need to move smoothly. The CV boots are often subjected to harsh conditions, often leading to a rip or tear that can allow the joints' supply of grease to leak and let debris into the sensitive CV joint. Since the flexible rubber cannot be repaired permanently,…

If the wear is more than a sixteenth of an inch you'll have to grind off so much of the heel that the boot will be…
