Replacing CV Joint Boots

[bv1966]

Quick question - if I only need to replace one side, do I need to touch the other side at all?

Thanks!

I wouldn't

Agree. Once you done one, the job becomes simple. I would do them as they break.

A quick question the the knowledgable.
I am in the process of replacing the inner R (drivers in Aussie) side boot. I dissassmebled the CV joint and am ready to repack. Does the inner race that contains the ball bearings only go in one way? I have tried both and it seems to rotate quite freely either way.
