SM25T Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Remove nut, split the taper, remove old gaiter ..... refit. Taper joint easily split using a nut and bolt under the end of the taper pin and jacking it out upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Bit of grease. Strong thumbs ? Pipe fitting pliers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted January 1, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted January 1, 2016 Be careful as it's all too easy to split the rubber if you try to tap it on with a hammer. I use a bit of tube the same diameter as the metal part of the new rubber gaiter. I place them in a vice and gently squeeze on by tightening the vice. If you have a very large socket you may be able to use that. A little grease will also help. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
