My CV boot has a very small puncture (not a rip) but it does leak some grease, can I seal this with some RVT or some outher product ? what do you guys recomend ?

 

do you go in mud or hit some water?

 

I tried to patch a CV with a bicycle patch kit...

The tear is almost ALWAYS on a fold...

It didnt work (but was worth a shot as it was a freebie)

 

I dont do any mudding and very little water crossing, puncture is on a fold

 

idk.. if it were me i'd just replace the axle. but, you dont offroad much at all. its easier to replace the axle, and plus you dont have to mess with regreasing and clamps etc. tim

 

i had the same thing on my truck when ifirst bought it a year and a half ago. i tried cleaning it off and put some toyota fipg. on it just to hold tell i could get it fixed. guess what. it is still there now the same way after 30k miles and several off road trips later. still not leaking. just lucky i guess.

 

this puncture is slightly bigger than a pin hole. what would be my best bet to seal it with ? If it doesnt work, then I will go the more expensive replacement route.

 

I have said it before and I will say it again.



It's the only substance that you can actually repair boots with. Add some to your toolkit today.

 

first off, how did you spot this thing? i guess you could try and patch it. maybe super glue, or the famous duct tape

 

did you read my earlier reply? use the toyota fipg. it worked for me.

 

Permatex Ultra Grey will cross reference the Toyota FIPG..
