Drive shaft outer CV joint Rubber boot problem ?

[Wildwoodflower]

I was having problems getting the new gaiter over the funnel until I realised that the temperature at which the gaiter will stretch enough is critical. It needs to be really hot. Wear gloves!
I put the gaiter in a large pan of water and get it to boiling temperature. Take the pan to the car, fish out the gaiter and on to the pre-greased funnel really quickly.
Use a long piece of rag to twist into a 'tourniquet' to grip the gaiter and push. Should go fairly easily.
Anything less than almost boiling temperature and the damn thing just won't stretch enough.

Ok, thanks. I succeeded with it finally, the rubber outer end was very easy compared the one near gearbox, just first turn around the rubber, grease it and drag it ower. Now i would like your best tips how on earth to get the star lock three pins in their positions, if you get one the others run away? I have this H.R.Etzholds book but it aint as easy it describes, yes i have a modified tool shown on r-3628 pic. Surpricingly i do not have the keil(wedge) as shown in pic r-3629.
Beginning to be hopeless w- out nerves.

Wow i finally succeded wit it, made base support of superlon and thin vires to be able to pull it out after assy. Task for superlon base eas to keep the star lock on its position and lift it a bit.
...I am WINNER !
Below tools used and wheel end assy ready.

Finally done both sides, did not succeed with diff sealing change, u suppose too much corrosion btw casted iron/aluminium flange.
