The most common use of the word "boot" would be referring to the rubber around the cv axle ends. Some mechanics will replace the boot others wil opt to replace the whole cv axle. It truly depends on where you are and what the mechanics around you will do. The cost for rear brakes and the boot should run between $100 and $1000.....I know that is a big spread but with not seeing the car that's the best I can offer

uncomplicated subject for all 90s era Hondas might take place on warm sunny day with automobile closed up sitting all day and not commencing interior the afternoon (they continually commence interior the morning whilst that's cool). The starter cranks the engine over in many situations notwithstanding it only would not stir up. maximum persons take a seat there, roll the dwelling house windows down and go away the door open, because of the fact that's warm interior the vehicle, and in approximately 5 minute the vehicle starts good up. This subject is led to with the help of a foul significant Relay which, whilst working good, activates the gas pump once you attempt to commence the vehicle. The relay is fastened up under the sprint to the left of the steerage column and each so often only won't artwork whilst it gets too warm so no gas gets pumped to the gas injectors. New relays are between $40 5 and $sixty 5 and a few could be a discomfort to change. in the experience that your automobile meets this description then get the biggest Relay replaced. If it would not meet those indications then it extremely is something else-in all probability ignition change or worn ignition factors.

I had this trouble in my 4runner... the boot is the rubber case that surrounds your axle ... when it is ripped or torn then water can now get inside your axle causing a slow break down of parts... you will need a new axle... i would say in a honda under 120 with labor.... it might be less

well the cv boot is what is used to turn the wheels. if it is split, it is pretty easy to fix. there is a full civic service manual on www.honda.co.uk that will show you what you need to do. the brake pads are easy to do as well. the instructions are on the site as well. you can pick up a boot and brake pads on ebay pretty cheap.all in all about an afternoons work if your not sure what your doing. plus it saves you a fortune.
