Noticed this morning dark grease all over my drivers wheel. Got underneath and it was all over the shock, brakes, arch everywhere and noticed the cv boot had come off the hub. Still some grease left in so lucky I noticed it early. Got some grease today, filled it up, new jublee clip, job done but then noticed that the inner cv on the other side has a 3" long split in it! Theres still some grease but obviously nowhere near as much as it should have so now I've got to rip driveshaft out which isn't pleasant.
Thats annoying


Anyway I can repair it?.........
