Yep, more or less I think.

I'm still baffled by the broken C-clip though. And shocked it held on just long enough for me to get it in my shop.

It was the C-clip that failed on mine apparently. This was two weeks after a service. Going about 30mph and it exploded with a hell of a bang as the prop flailed around.

Yeah, I have heard of a few. But I assumed the clip was improperly installed in those cases. Maybe that was a poor assumption.

Mine was most certainly installed correctly and was only hanging by a prayer. The clip was in pieces. Only a portion was still in the groove. Other parts were embedded into the rear cover. I'm baffled.

I never got an answer as to what caused mine to fail. It was intimated that the C clip failed by the dealer but I never got the answer I asked for from Ineos.

It is almost 2:30 a.m., I shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard but.. here I am, unsupervised.

There must be a reason this isn't considered viable but why not 1.) take your case pocket knife out and cut the boot out of the terra CV, and 2.) install a boot like this.. there has to be one of correct size out there already. Talk among yourselves.. and yes, I get it.. it looks like a toilet plunger.
