Rear Diff rubber boot

[Bryn]

Ordered a replacement rear boot as I found a small split at the bottom of the original right at the base...... I've read that silicone grease is a good idea to smear around the edge of the boot to get it into position ?

Does it have to be silicone grease, as I've got a fair bit of Castrol LM grease in a tub already

i just used some from a tube of grease i got from nippy normans , you know the one you get with the acf50 as a package. I think its just to seat the boot i believe.

I used Castrol lm on my front boot only so it has a seal against water it won't affect the rubber

Sounds like LM will do the job then

Ive just about run out of red grease so the first job from the new tub will be my swing arm boots.

Come to think of it I've got a little tub of red rubber grease that'll do the job
