Are these recommended? One of mine on the 2ltr has started to crack, some people say they are fine and others stay away? It's just the hastle of taking the drive shaft out etc..

Pull the shaft out, take the CV off, put new boot on, Grease it and put the CV back on the shaft.
Or if you're in a rush/can't be fucked you can get the type that you glue on without taking the shaft out. Don't think they're as strong though personally!

Easy enough to get them out. I've done it about 10 times over the last week
