New "Stretchy" Axle boots

[WGB]

Dropped my Axle off at The Star Shop today and went away for an hour or so.

Herbert has the exact tool shown in the thread and when I came back it was all finished. Here is the result.

Well that sounds like it was the most painless part of the job. Looks good!

Looks like a factory job....

Was it painful (price wise)?

Hi WGB - that price is more than fair. As a matter of interest, do you know if they filled them with oil or the special grease that seem to be the 'easy' preference. Regards Styria

I discussed the options and Herbert used the grease.

For what its worth, this is what a shaft looks like when done the alternative method of drawing the joint off. Not an easy task at all, and fraught with risk of damaging the joint irreparably.
