[QUOTE="twisting, post: 241333, member: 5334"] OK so I managed to replace the CV boot today. I couldn't do it in situ (couldn't knock the CV joint off) and had to take the driveshaft out in the end. The joint came off easily enough after that. I've put the driveshaft back in to the transmission and hub, and connected everything back together again + put the wheel on. I've only loosely tightened the driveshaft nut as the manual said to do that when it's on the ground and I haven't taken it down off the axle stands yet. Problem is... as the wheel goes around and I can hear something (the pads I think) rubbing against the brake disc. I think it's clear for half a turn then I can hear it rubbing for the 2nd half and there's a little resistance at the same time (while it's rubbing) I'm 99% sure it's the brakes (I only rotated a couple of times as it was late) rather than anything else rubbing Any ideas what the problem might be? The driveshaft nut still needs to be tightened about 5 mm, so is it possible the rubbing will go away when I tighten it? If not, what might it be? I was pulling hardish but not breakable hard outwards on the hub to get the driveshaft out of it (the securing clip around the bottom of the lower-suspension-arm-to-hub-carrier-balljoint jacket sheared, so I must have used some force) Is it possible I've done something to the alignment of the disc? Any ideas would be appreciated. Baring that I'm temped to take it to the garage and say "I broke it, can you fix it please?" Oh - one other question. I had to drain the transmission oil, which meant undoing the transmission drain plug (bottom) and fill plug (front face). The manual says to tighten the drain plug to 15 Nm if my gearbox is a RS5F41A and 30 Nm if it's anything else. It also says a 998cc model is an RS5F41A or a RS5F30A, so I've got a 1 in 2 chance of being an RS5F41A. How do I tell the difference? --- edit --- The brake rubbing problem solved itself once I'd tightened everything and driven it a 100 yards and applied the brakes a couple of times.
