I have a torn rear outer CV Boot on my 1995 993 C2. I'm planning on replacing all 4. I've heard that a CV Boot Kit is available but I'm having difficulty finding one.

Pelican has the kit for the 911 but only up to the 1994 model. For the 1995 and newer they only sell the boot itself.

Is there a kit available? If not what components do I need besides the 4 Boots?

I would think

1) The grease
2) the 35 mil clamp (1 per boot?)

any other parts I might need?

Thanks

John

This should do the trick:

I just did the drivers side rear axle on C4S a couple of weeks ago. I think I purchased the boots from Rock Auto. The boots came with grease. Not a bad job, just a mess.

Depending on the style of the clamps that come with it, you may need the proper crimping tool. You'll also need to remove and install the 340 ft/lb axle nut.

I got mine here:

Or directly:
They were about $10/kit, $40 total including boots, clamps, and grease!

You can do the outer w/o taking off the whole hub (and avoid the ~350lb torque wrench needed), by sliding the outer boot on from the inside. Just means you do both boots at the same time. A very messy, but not difficult job...unless your inner parts don't just slide off the drive shaft... Remember some anti-seize on the splines during re-assembly to make the next time easier.

special tools needed: Cir-clip pliers, gear puller (cheap at Harbor Freight or borrow from local auto parts store)

If the boot clamp is an Oetiker, I recommend getting the proper Oetiker/Knipex pliers. When I did my Audi this year I bought el cheapo pliers from Canadian Tire, since I was caught out. Couldn't crimp a wet paper bag on a rainy day! Have since bought the Knipex from Chads. They look really solid. Waiting to put them into action.

I chose to pull the axle out because it's just easier to clean things up and put things back together. Pulling the inner CV off the axle and removing the axle nut was not a big deal.

Ordered. Thanks everyone!

There is a special porsche high temp axle spline lube that is used for a "proper" job. It is copper based and about $40/tube from a stealer. I could not find an industry alternative so I bought the tube to have around. I think this is an important item expecially when thinking of rebuilding them in the future.

The stuff Adam talks about looks just like high temp copper anti-seize I've seen before.

BTW, I don't like dealing with resealing. I just buy a used axle. Done it 3 times on several of my cars. It's a 1 hr job with the proper tools. Unless of course you have PSS9 in the rear on your 993 in which case it's a 3 hr job
