Undo everything, take the driveshaft off, separate the CV joint from the 'shaft, put boot on and re-assemble, or just buy one of the wrap round jobbys and do it in a few mins

ive heard that the wrap round ones are a bit dodgy though as you have to glue them together. Thanks

take off inner joint from gearbox, slide new boot over and up towards the outer joint, = easier and a lot less messier

edit: this is sticky, dam boy has left himself logged in on the works pc
