Rick, the boot is good, he just needs the clamp to hold and suspects the nub as the culprit that keeps popping the clamp off. What would the nub be for? If he can dremel it off while protecting the boot and the grease from catching the metal shavings, why couldn't he do that? |
That is correct, the boot and everything is in perfect shape....I have less than 75 boring/break in miles on the car, so the joint is clean. I just want to patch it up before I start driving more. This is just the next of my "shakeout" punchlist items.
I talked to Reg today and sent him pictures. He confirmed that the little nub in question was in fact supposed to be removed at the factory and obviously was not. He suggested an air powered grinder or Dremel. Once the nub is gone, I'll regrease the joint and attach a new clamp.
Now all I need is for the temp to drop below 95 deg so I can get 'er done.
