I think we have the same Gerber multi-tool!

A couple of tips:

1. Get someone to hold the camera for you.

2. Put a written description of the steps, parts and tools needed on YouTube. I think you skipped over a few in the video like how and when you removed the cling film; the proper way to trim the boot and how much you took off both ends. One section on each end?

Looks like you're using this Bailcast CVS18 CV Boot Kit:

I couldn't find it on Amazon US, but it is available for (more expensive than the part) shipment on eBay above.
Cheers Haigha, that's good feedback and I will do. I think if I was to do more I would invest in a gorilla grip or a tripod and maybe think about each step, what I am doing and saying etc. but I did it on the fly and filmed it then got home and watched it and thought... Sweet Jesus I waffle on. Anyways yes, the BailCast CVS18 is the ones I recommend. The others I have used are the Q-drive ones and you can get some from Italy called Red Hippo I think. Q-drive ones last about a year and are thinner rubber. Just looked on Amazon US and sadly can't see a similar product which could be why they are not commonplace in the US? Every auto parts store sells them over in the UK.

They work for me and save me time so I am happy. If I needed to get the hub off anyway, I would get a standard CV boot but I am not sure they last any longer.
