How to Replace the Boots on a Honda Civic

The tie-rod ball-joint boot on your Honda Civic is what keeps dust, dirt, and other contaminants out of the inside of the ball joint. This is important, because multipurpose grease for lubrication that needs to be kept free of dust is in the ball joint . However, these boots can become torn, cracked, or develop holes. When this happens, you need to replace the boots on your Honda Civic.

Instructions

1

Pull the boot off the tie-rod end. Wipe all of the old grease off of the ball joint with a clean rag.

2

Pack fresh, clean multipurpose grease into the lower area of the ball pin.

3

Fill the new boot with clean multipurpose grease. Ensure you have grease on the lip of the boot. Ensure no dust, dirt, or foreign matter gets into the grease.

4

Replace the new boot using the special tool 07QAD-P0A0100. Make sure there is no gap in the boot installation sections. Check the tapered section of the ball pin for grease, and wipe it away if any is present.
