Got a torn front CV Boot, anyone know a decent priced place on line to find one and how involved is this repair? I've never replaced a CV boot on anything so I really don't what is involved. Doesn't seem to complicated. Any tips or tricks you can provide would be appreciated :)

I haven't done one on my 500 yet but I did one last year on my 350 big bear and it was pretty easy. The only thing I was unfamiliar with was pulling the axle out of the front differential. I didn't know that it was held in by a friction type retainer and that I just had to pull hard to remove it - thought I was going to damage something. Not sure if its the same on the kubota's but I could check my service manual if you need more info. As for other helpful advise if you don't have a way of installing a c-v clamp just cheat and use a hose clamp if it clears everything. Good luck!
