They don't always break right away, (although that does happen sometimes) they'll usually last for quite some time without a boot. All four of my cv's (inner and outer) are missing the boots and have been clicking for a little more than 2 years. But then theres dealing with the annoying and embarrassing noise.

Well its not going to do it on your left cause your right side is the one that is worn out...To be better off go ahead and go get you a new or rebuilt axle at AutoZone or any other parts store ....lol...like v8guy said earlier replace the whole axle at once instead of doing one side then the other later. I am telling you now though its not all that easy to replace your axle if you don't have the proper tools...lol....Or if the damn thing breaks off in half to your tranny....Trust me not GOOD!!!! But anyways Good Luck!!!

Just replaced my driver side halfshaft. Cost me $60 plus my time... which ended up being a lot since I couldn't get the ball joint separated for an hour or so. Does anyone have a favorite (fast) technique for separating the ball joint?

If so...there a little flat part on the metal there where the ball joint drops into...give a few good raps on that with a mallet after you take out the cotter pin and the nut off...the BJ will pop out eventually.

Well this got done...$100CDN for a new drivers side axle...half an hours labour on my part...and no more broken CV joint. Damn that stuff inside the boot is nasty...it took me forever to get that shit off my hands!
