Will do, thanks.
Unfortunately the 500 is last in the fleet maintenance line, so I gotta keep an eye on it

Could you tell how the boot failed allowing the water/mud to enter? Cracks, stick, dried mud wear, clamp failure, etc?

I don't see the problem other than maybe water mixing with grease. What part broke?

What parts are required for service if the boot is good, grease and a band clamp? What kind of grease do you repack with? I've never serviced CV joints.
