I recently had all 4 CV boots replaced at Sydney Drive Shaft in Carlton NSW. CV joints were inspected and re-greased. They charged me $140 cash. I did the labour of removing them from the car and taking them to the workshop. They were done in just over an hour. For that kind of money I wouldn't bother changing the boots myself anymore. The only hassle I had was getting the CV shaft locknut off on the passenger side. I broke 2, half inch breaker bars [ irony ] and ended up borrowing a snap on high torque rattle .gun

i've just done the same and ordered the whole front set, problem is i cant get the drivers side front inner section out/off the transfer case...... i've undone the plate with the 5 bolts but it still wont release............. ive got the shaft out but i need the inner where the boot connects too.

passengers side was easy LOL :(

The drivers side just clips in, lever it out with a flat blade or similar, or tap it out with a Nylon hammer. Make sure you do the bolts up on the diff first, you don't want that coming apart.

Ah, I understand what you were talking about now; that's the bearing carrier.

I found using a tyre lever with a 90 degree tip is the perfect tool for removing the drivers side CV from the diff. I found it a little easier than the wide blade screw driver with adjustable spanner on the end of it.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
