Replacing CV boot

[bnam]

The outer CV joint (pass side) is leaking somewhere - as there was an arc of grease spray on the nearby components. Was not a lot, so it seems like a small leak or an occasional leak only at some positions.

I'm reading up on "how-tos" on replacing these when I came across this youtube video. The halfshaft and CV setup looks near identical to the on the 2002. Can someone confirm?

My car came with a 3.91LSD installed by PO. Does this change the parts/#s I need to order?

Is this WuN part a good deal? (assuming it the same part for my application)

I ordered a CV boot kit off ebay that worked out great.

And yes, that youtube video is very similar to rebuilding the CV joints on the 2002. I referenced that video my self!

Try some of our FAQ supporters, or check with Bav Auto or BMAparts. I think you'll find cheaper and quicker in US

+1 I purchase most (if not all) of my parts from BLUNT (Steve Peterson)

Here are the BMW CV joint boot kits.

Hmmm.. I searched the Blunt site and entered the parts number but it only showed the boot+clips -- not this full set which has the covers, clip, and washer.

Give Blunt a call. I think the number is under the Contact tab on his website.
