90-93 Integra axles. Replace the whole axle, **** the boots.

When i turn it clicks i was told that it might be just the boot. Im hoping so because im at colleg and i dont have an impact to take the axle off. I was actually just gonna put on a quick boot for now. I got a boot for a 90 integra and it was nearly twice as long.

To get the boot off you have to remove the axle anyway. You don't need an impact for it. Just get a breaker bar and put an extension over it, have a friend hold down the brakes and put your weight down on it. That nut should break loose fine. Make sure you pry out that dented in part on the nut.

If the axle is clicking that means that dirt and water have already started to rust it up and destroy it. So putting a new boot on it wouldn't solve anything. Get a whole new axle. Should only be like $50, not too bad.
