Yea, the boot is hard to make tight with hand tools, trust me. Mine leaks all over the place, HAHA, it works though.

You can get a new axle from NAPA for $65 with the core. I might go and do this as well, just in case...

Yeah I'll do it once I got some cash for it. What's the best way to get the axle nice and tight?

Yeah I dont think I tightened mine up enough. I got out on the road grannied it around and the floored it through vtec up a hill in third. All of a sudden whoole car jerks to the right. I slowed down limpe it around a bit and it seemed normal. I figured it was just slipping into place. No problems since then.
