See if there is a 'Quik-Boot' kit available for your villager. This is a 2 part boot with clamps. All you would have to do is cut the old clamps, cut the old boot off, put the 'Quik-Boot' on around the joint, add CV grease provided, clamp it in place and viola, done.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?

There is a nut that attaches the CV joint to the transaxle. You need an inner CV joint removal tool to take it off. You can rent them at Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?
Have you looked at the replacement boot? You should not have to take the CV joint off of the axle. The old boot however normally must be cut off. The new one will have an open side on it to wrap it around the axle, and a way to seal it after it's around the axle. There is no need to remove the axle from the vehicle.



As for removal, there are 2 common types of cv joints.



1 requires heating the outer portion of the joint till the bearings come out. Doing this wrong can ruin the half shaft. I don't suggest trying.



The other has retaining clips which may be hidden by old grease. Clean the shaft well, then examine it. You should replace the grease anyway.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?
It has to be pressed off and the new one pressed back on, that is the only way. Any other way will destroy the parts.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?
IT WILL EITHER HAVE A SMALL CLIP OR NOTHING HOLDING IT ON.



YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST ALIGN THE JOINT WITH THE AXLE AND TAP IT OFF WITH A BRASS HAMMER, ITS THAT SIMPLE.



YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE IT PRESSED ON AND OFF.



BUT I DO AGREE WITH GETTING A COMPLETE AXLE ASSEMBLY, BALANCED SHAFT, 2 JOINTS, 2 BOOTS, 4 CLAMPS AND A NEW NUT....$69.95 TO 99.95
