355 CV Boot replacement

04-01-2005, 10:02 PM

I've changed boots on a 308... simple but very messy...but OK after you get the bolts undone.

On a 355... the same operation. Any tricks of the trade, or is it the same...undo the bolts etc. Is it difficult to get them out once the bolts are out?

Regards.

Hi Peter,

355 boots are essentially the same as earlier models with the exception that you don't take the outer joint loose, you remove the outer nut and pull the stub axle with the half shaft.

As an aside: There is a silicone racing boot from Porsche that fits and puts up with the temperatures of track use better than the Ferrari boot.
