How difficult is it to replace a passenger side CV boot on an E16S automatic 85 Pulsar? My boot split and slung grease everywhere under the car. When I get up to highway speeds I can hear a whirring noise from the passenger side. The car makes no noises when driving in the city, just on the highway and even then it doesn't always make noise, just sometimes. Anyway, I know if I don't get the boot replaced the CV joint will end up going bad but I don't know exactly what needs to be done to replace it. The Pulsar book I have is vague about that repair. Well, actually the book is very descriptive about everything as long as you have an 87-90 Pulsar. The book doesn't have much detail for Pulsars that were made before 87. I don't know if this is something I could do myself or if I would have to pay someone. In the meantime is it possible to pull the boot back without actually removing it and clean any muck out of there and regrease it. Would that be a good idea to hold it over until I can get the boot replaced. If so what grease should I use in there?
