[urq] CV Boot replacement

[Bill Bennett]

or be even more careful and shove a friends screwdriver into a rotor cooling slot and let it lock against the caliper mount with all the wheel bolts installed, if it is a good friend, who hangs at Sears, you wont have to be careful, I have never seen this method break or bend anything in 30 years. though I am sure someone at URQ could change that. Impact Wrenchs are not a good idea around wheel bearings, I beleive the term is burnneling

  Yes, it would.

  Another trick - but be careful - is to put two stud bolts back in and trap a tyre lever
  between them and the ground.  But make sure the car is well supported.
