i think if u disconnect the driver side tie rod. u can pull out the boot. if not, then u'll have to take off the whole thing.

it shouldn't be dangerous to drive w/ a ripped boot. the only problem u'll have is that eventually ur car will become harder to steer.

if the boot is not torn too bad. U can take a carb cleaner, clean it out. (if there's grease there, put some grease in it) then take some black silicone and seal all the tears. That might work, but not on big tears.


disclaimer: i'm not responsible if anything happens to your car because of the torn boot. Ask others about it, dont take my word for it.
