Pertinent part:
"Replace the CV boot with out removing the axle
Jack up the front of the coach, block it, remove wheel (optional), remove the tie rod from the knuckle(optional, but it will give you more room & flexibility), cut the old boot off, with a snap ring pliers, EXPAND snap ring in the outer CV joint and slide axle towards the inner plunge joint, clean as needed, install new boot on axle, slide axle into outer CV joint, snap ring will expand as axle is pushed into CV joint, MAKE SURE SNAP RING IS SEATED, install grease and position CV boot, burp the air out of the boot and clamp it, try to keep the surface for the outer clamp surface as dry as possible. This is about an 1-1/2 hour job per side, good luck. Bob Drewes in SESD"
Thanks
