Hello everybody,

During my last MOT the mechanic advised to replaced the CV joint covers. There was a tiny split in the rubber cover on 1 side, and the other one looked worn as well.

I have done quite a bit of work on cars, but never done these items.
Is there a How-to? Or can somebody explain it to me?

From what I think:
- Remove the wheel
- Remove the brake disc
- Remove wheel hub/bearing
- Disconnecte the drive shaft from the hub
- Slide the old cover from the drive shaft
- Slide the new cover over the drive shaft
- Reconnect everything back

But I might be missing crucial steps?
Anything else I should be doing while I'm tackling this job? Something servicable that I should do while I'm at it?
Maybe something I should look out for?

Also, would I need special tools? Or are basic household tools sufficient?

Any pointers or advice is very welcome. I enjoy working on cars and learning and I want to do a good job ;-).
