Fuck doing the boot, if the boot is torn than it is more than likely water/debris has gotten in and damaged the the race or roller. Then to properly do a boot you should pull the entire joing apart and clean it thouroughly to remove ALL grease and inspect. Then re-assemble the joint and pack it with the proper amount of Grease, then refit the boot and CV snap ring.....
or you can spend a few bucks extra and slap the entire bitch in there.
this man speaks truth.
9/10 by the time you realize you have a ripped boot its been ripped long enough to allow dirt / debris / water in there and replacing the boot isnt going to remove the contaminents.
just go buy a reman shaft from any auto parts store and slap it in there
60 bucks or so and you will be on your way in about 45 minutes ... lee is a lil more experienced than most so its 25 minute estimate is a lil short
oh and screw autozone's driveshafts ... but then i am a lil partial
