how do I go about finding an outer CV rubber gaiter / boot ?

[funky2nite]

noticed a split in d/s rubber/boot gaiter on the outer CV joint, obviously I'd rather replace the gaiter before water and dust gets in the joint itself and it'd need replacement.

am finding difficult finding just the rubber gaiter for the outer Cv joint k11 1.0

thanks guys,

Ebay is one of best places you can look. Alternatively you can buy from this site www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk

But would be a universal sort or for the micra particularly?

J&R do a universal set - quite easy to trim to size... £7.99 for a pair of two on ebay, with grease, a fitting cone, clamps, etc

This is the one I bought:

Don't let the title fool you, it's a universal kit (or at least not a K11 specific one)... The cone allows you the fit the gaiter without removing the CV joint... (howto here: )

Personally, I find it easier to take the joint off... but on some cars that's hard... hence the cone

No problem

Getting to grips with the K11... there are some really odd things going on in the engine bay!
