Just noticed the above has some shiny grease leaked out of the bottom rubber gaitor - it does not seem to be split, but didn't look to be sitting correctly at the bottom so I slid it over a round metal piece at the bottom and will monitor.
It does not fit tightly at the bottom so wondered if...

Evening All,
I am needing to change the outer CV gaitor on my ML270 W163 as i got a bit over enthusiastic with the blow torch when trying to get a snapped front anti roll bar bolt out. :doh::(
My question is can i just remove hub nut (easier said than done) and then the top and bottom...
Any one any idea how much a new one would cost.

Thanks
Hi all,
Okay I have been told that the offside steering gaitor needs replacing.

I used this as a bases for my job.
He mentions at the end of his post - By having the wheels dangling it may be possible to do this job...
If anyone has a W210 with a split steering gaiter it will be letting additional engine noise into the cabin.
The job appears a little daunting but is actually quite easy and as the part is cheap it's well worth doing.
Steering gaiter when the wheels are straight ahead.
Unfortunately...
Anyone got any idea how the remove the gaitor from the gearknob after it's been released from the gearstick?? I wanna change my gearknob but I obvioudly don't want to damage the gaitor when swapping it round on to the new gearknob. :)
