Sundayjumper is on a distinguished road
I've just done both sides on mine this weekend. One was split and needed doing so I figured I'd do both and good job too - the one that wasn't split had a load of water in it The boot wasn't original and the joint looks lower quality than the first one so I guess it's been replaced at some point. No idea how the water got in, unless someone fitted it in the rain or something

Anyway, the main thing I wanted to add to the thread was that I had loads of trouble splitting the second CV joint. I think the c-clip needs to be sitting "just so" to be able to pop out, so if you're heaving away with the pry bar and nothing's happening, turn the shaft a bit and try again. It'll come out relatively easily when it's lined up right. If it's not lined up you've got no chance.

IMO, IME, etc.
