[928uk] Rubber CV boot

[peter watts]

Smiffy ,

from my experience having taken the driveshaft off - needed to fit stretch
boots ,or real boots  the actual time to disassemble the inner end joint
and fit t "proper boots" is really not that long, either way the
grease needs to be removed cleaned and refilled if the old boot has split
and allowed ingress of foreign material
and i feel that pulling stretch boots over the inner , or outer joint is
more likely to drag contamination into the joint

just my 2p worth
