True they are a joke ! I put them on , by the time I'd taken the car off the car stand and onto my workbench they had both fallen off !
I didn't bother undoing everything either to get them off , just cut them off with some sharp scissors !
I did use to put some axle grease in the cv joint to aid running and quieten the transmission down a bit , but after racing at Herts the other week it just attracted the sand from the astro , so after cleaning my car again the cv joints that aren't covered with boots are running "dry"
Overall though , the shock boots and Outdrive boots work really well and I full set lasted me almost a full season so I think they are worth the time and effort , if it helps I also use some long nose pliers to apply the cv boots, put the points of the pliers inside the boot and open out the handles then insert the driveshaft , it's a little fiddly but a lot easier than trying to stretch them over the dog bones !
