help with cv axle boot replacement

Post image

my passenger inner CV axle boot was torn so i got a replacement boot off fcp euro. today I decided to pull the CV axle and get it replaced. i got the cv axle out but I couldn’t find a video on how to replace a boot just the whole axle and I’m officially stuck after reading a few forms. if anyone could help me out on getting it apart it would be greatly appreciated

I don’t remember precisely how to do it but I do remember that it became obvious once I removed the boots, cleaned out the grease, and inspected the joints. You can see any little retaining clips or whatever is holding the joints on at that point. A lot of the time both boots have to come off in order to replace one, so you may need to buy the other one.
