It requires some mechanical know-how and the right tools, such as a heavy-duty socket for the hub nut. For a confident DIY mechanic with access to a workshop manual, it is a perfectly manageable job.

Yes, our outer CV joint kits for Fiat Strada are supplied complete with the joint, CV boot, grease, clamps and, in most cases, a new hub nut.
