[Shotimes] CV Boot Torn

[kerbyh@netzero.net]

I've used duct tape(cloth type) to do exactly what you want to do.  Its not good for a long time, even less time if it rains, but it will cut down on the grease escaping till you can fix it right.

Clean the boot really well with something like simple green, and then brake cleaner.  Let it dry well, then stick on the duct tape.

It sounds to me that this is exactly what duct tape was invented for (except ducts, of course.)

A quick question; while getting my oil changed and coolant flushed yesterday, 
I noticed the r/h side cv boot is torn. (second time in 3 years) How long do 
I have in terms of time and/or mileage before I have to address this? I need 
to drive about 300 miles this weekend and don't have the time between now and 
Saturday am to do it. It's not supposed to rain and I won't be driving 
through dusty conditions. Also I don't think it's been torn for very long, 
there's no grease on the inside of the tire or wheel yet.

Thanks, Bob (BB-NYC '89)
