Recently, I noticed that my CV boot was seperated. I know the hassles
in order to replace the boot. Its a lot of work. So I called my
friend who owns 2 Accords and I asked him for the neccessary tools.
He told me on his 93 Accord, he put on a split boot and is working just
fine.

Does anybody here have opinions about putting on an aftermaket split
boot?

Are they reliable?

Thanks in Advance!!

just about everyone else on here will say not to. id say to go ahead,
but check it on each oil change. ive put 2 on 2 different cars before,
and both lasted until i got rid of the cars. i found the best design
used an adhesive to glue the halves together.

I've used super glue for rubbers on a Honda o-rings and seems to hold
up well. Don't know about boots, but worth a try. But follow the directions
exactly. Split Boots can wobble at high speed and flex like a
contortionist on steroids at U-turns.

It's a waste of time. Once dirt gets into the joint, you have to clean it
out otherwise it will wear out your CV joint in a short time.
