CV Boot help

[MontyG]

Hi, I have a 95 Montero LS with a 5 speed. Last weekend I noticed my driver's side inner CV boot was torn. I removed the CV half-shaft (or CV joint whatever you want to call it) and cut the torn boot off but I can't figure out how to remove the joint from the can type thing to disassemble the joint so I can install the new boot. I hope that's descriptive enough... just trying to get the new boot on

. Any help would be very appreciated please. THANKS!

You can find the 92 -95 service manual. It should have everything you are looking for. Remember to clip the donate button at the top.

Oh yeah, the SERVICE MANUAL! Duh on me... thank you for that, no idea why I didn't check that sooner!

I actually ended up figuring it out this afternoon: there is a circular ring that needs to be barely compressed to fit out of the tube-type housing so that the joint can be removed. Thanks!
