[928uk] Rubber CV boot

[peter watts]

Hi marek
That will work fir the boot clips
You need circlip pliers to remove the circlip at the end of the drive shaft
inside the metal cover - or great care with two small flat screwdrivers -
don’t loose the circlip it can Jump away as released

Hope that helps
