Replaced an inner CV boot that had melted at the recent VW Supersrpint (and spat grease over the back of the block and onto the dump pipe). It really is one of the most unpleasant jobs on the car, there is just no way to do it without ending up covered in grease. It didn’t help that the CV was on the spline really tight, and as I was knocking it off it decided to spit out a couple of balls, arghh..

Anyway, done, and I have made a heat shield to prevent it from happening again. I have about 4-5 heat shields in various places now.
