I have my 1965 230sl rear axle mounted on a holder that I made which bolts to my engine stand, turned upside down the bracket holds the front x-member. My question, I am planing to replace the axle boot with a one piece boot. After the right side axle is removed. Can I slide the new boot around the u-joint? Is there anything else that has to be removed? The original clamps are in good shape. Any help would be appreciated.
