Honda Pioneer 1000 CV Axle Removal and Inner Boot Replacement

Hello off-roaders who turn your own wrenches! Today I'm tackling replacement of the CV boot on the inner side of a rear axle on my Honda Pioneer 1000-5. I'll show you how I did it with limited special tools, including installation of new CV boot clamps without the fancy special pliers. Link for the boots I purchased: https://www.race-driven.com/honda-pio...

I'm happy with the Race Driven boots so far, and they shipped fast to me. No sponsorship from them either, so this is my unbiased experience with their product. The boot and clamps appear to exceed OEM quality based on appearance (although my boots are 4 years old).
