Half axel boots ?

[Road trip]

I need help finding a sorce for the size

boots that will fit

the ones generally listed as 67-76 CV boots are just too small to even attempt

and if one did get them on they would be stretched to the limit

So you have the early half shafts with a u-joint inner and a sliding joint outer and clear boot?

If so. The do fit. Try soften them in hot water for an hour, use grease and a spoon to get over it. It wil work.

Walloth and Nesch has them, if they are in fact the early opaque type.

Do a search here for the technique using boiling water to soften them and then a spoon or similar to stretch them over the pin.  I would never have believed it would work until I did it.  Also, don't loose any of the 144 bearing needles.

Sorry, leap frogged mich02s response.

Yes

[HBChris]

Boil the buggers. Spoon or metal shoe horn  works to get it over the post.  Test for leaks before you install on car. Oh, and wire brush half shaft where boot sits. BMW used to sell O ring for mounting hat; or go to local bearing shop and see if they can make O ring to correct size. Silicone works in a pinch. Be very careful with the clamping ring. I finally found asymmetric CV joints and will donate my early halfshaft collection to charity.
