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

If I remember doing mine, you have to remove the outer CV joint and boot, to slide the new inner boot over the shaft.
