If its just the gaiter that needs changing its fairly straightforward, but go for a pricey (non cheap plasticy) boot kit as the plastic ones tend to pop off after about 2 miles.
Grease everywhere, dry joint and an even lighter wallet!

Cv joint
Hi thanks for the reply. it only mention that it can be done whilst still on car, but it don't explain how seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=138664. I need to now if its o.k to knock the outer c.v joint off whilst still on car, or do i need to use a special tool as i'm concerned the inner joint might get damaged by whacking the one end of with a mallet

When I did mine I removed them from the G box. It'll be a lot easier in the long run. I can just imagine how hard it would have been trying to do them in place with everything getting in the way, especially when trying to grease them up and putting the clamps/Clips on.
Have you changed CV's before?

No first time. I usually change the whole drive shaft (aint done one in a long time though 
), but on this occasion i decided to change the complete joint as i got my hands on one for extra nothing. On a few of the forums it states that the centre nut is 30mm mines seems to be allot bigger. Time to buy the right size socket i guess
