Don't know whether they are any good or not, but there's always some new ones on ebay for about $45 (shipping?). They reckon it's the brand used by most mechanics.

One point from trying to replace a boot a while ago (haven't replaced a CV yet, probably need to shortly), is that some of the side panels where the drive shafts go through are removable plastic. Didn't realise this, thought they were metal built-in panels, and so spent a s@#tload of time trying to get the bloody things out through a tiny gap. Take the panels off and it's at least a little easier.

Would be worthwhile getting a manual. Or at least seeing if your local library has one. Actually, there may have been a certain file floating around the forums... :shifty:
